Planning, monitoring and evaluation in development programs requires a
focus on national development priorities. The definition and measurement
of intended results should respect the principle of national ownership and
should strengthen both institutional and human capacities for managing
development initiatives. This Course aims to strengthen results-based
approaches by improving the quality of planning, monitoring and
evaluation at all stages of policy making and implementation.
The Course presents practical steps and examples in applying monitoring
and evaluation to strengthen management for development results.
Participants will leave with practical step-by-step guidance on how to
prepare and carry out benchmarking, monitor outcomes and use
information on program and project results to improve performance.
Policy makers, program managers, ministerial strategy departments, and
staff and consultants responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluation
will find this course useful. It presents analytical tools solidly grounded in
economic theory applied to the practical questions of monitoring and
evaluating policy programs and other poverty reduction interventions in
developing countries.

- Government officials
- Policy and program implementers
