Présentation du cours
Mission-driven organizations are expected to demonstrate results, learn from implementation, strengthen accountability and use evidence to make better decisions. Effective M&E starts by understanding who needs information, what they need to know, why they need it and how they will use it. From there, a coherent M&E system connects information needs with results frameworks, indicators, data collection and management, analysis, reporting and evaluation. This programme develops the practical competencies required to design, deploy and operate an M&E system while strengthening participants' ability to manage evaluations in real-world contexts. In a context marked by the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, the course will also introduce a range of AI applications and tools that are particularly useful for M&E officers and evaluators.
Groupes cibles
