According to the MS Training Centre for Development Cooperation, measuring progress, results and impact has been a challenge to many development workers. This is due to lack of effective skills in use of methods for monitoring and evaluation. In response to these limitations, appropriate tools are being sought to enable development workers to make informed decisions about development interventions. This course aims to equip development workers in non government organisations (NGOs) and other organisations with skills, knowledge and the necessary attitudes for effective results-based monitoring and evaluation of development programmes.
