Course description

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is critical to the success of projects and programs in development, humanitarian aid, public health, education, and governance. This course provides a structured and hands-on approach to designing M&E systems, collecting and analyzing data, and using findings to inform policy and program decisions.
