Monitoring and Evaluation Network of Training Online Resources (MENTOR) is a web-based compilation of free training materials and tools on health-related monitoring and evaluation (M&E) topics for use by researchers, programme managers, trainers, policy makers, students, and other public health professionals. The Monitoring and Evaluation to Assess and Use Results (MEASURE) Evaluation Project, which makes the resources on this website available, is a collaboration of the Carolina Population Center, John Snow, Inc., Macro International Inc., Tulane University, and Constella Futures International, Inc.

MENTOR consists of the following three types of resources on topics including monitoring and evaluation of population, health and nutrition programmes, monitoring and evaluation of HIV/AIDS programmes, monitoring and evaluation of tuberculosis programmes and routine health information systems:

• Interactive mini-course on M&E Fundamentals:
  This self-instructional mini-course provides information on the basics of M&E. It includes self-assessment quizzes, interactive exercises, lists of resources, a glossary of key terms, and a final exam. Participants scoring 80 per cent or higher on the final exam are eligible to download and print a course certificate.
• Downloadable training materials:
  These materials consist of various slide sets, case studies and accompanying training materials used in regional workshops (schedule and location information of these workshops available on the website). The information includes M&E of population, health and nutrition programmes, M&E of HIV/AIDS programmes, M&E of tuberculosis programmes, and routine health information systems. According to the website, materials in English, Spanish, and French will be posted to this site as they become available.
• Population Research Materials:
  These web modules provide information and tools for students and professionals on population-related topics, including Priorities for Local AIDS Control Efforts (PLACE), multiple decrement life tables and population analysis for planners.
