Events

We provide Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning training to support international development practitioners measure results and monitor impact to enhance the effectiveness of projects, programmes, and organisations. We combine theory and practical experience to deliver a participatory, hands-on learning experience. You will develop a logical framework for a real project, learn about working stakeholders at different levels, collect data using participatory methods, manage an evaluation, create a MEAL plan, and learn how all these components work together in our MEAL system.

Knowledge Management is the processes, tools and culture required to enable people to generate, capture, manage, synthesise, share and re-apply knowledge to co-create and innovate an effective organisation. Knowledge needs to be available to others when they need it, in formats that are useful and relevant.

Why choose this course?

Are gender-sensitive climate initiatives actually helping both women and men? How can we know for sure?

Over the past decade, gender has become a key consideration in the global response to climate change. Leading climate organizations recognize that climate change affects women and men differently due to existing social and economic inequalities.

By taking these differences into account, climate initiatives can be more effective, equitable, and sustainable. But how do we know if we’re achieving the right results?

Registration opens by March 31.

Theme: Centering vision and values in evaluation

The field and practice of evaluation is nearing a crossroads. As things change in the wider world around us, we must not lose sight of what makes evaluation important to ourselves and others. We need to deeply consider and reaffirm why we started as evaluators and why we continue to do this work. It is time for us to align our practice with the underlying vision and values that are critical to the field of evaluation.

Participants will enrich their understanding of the steps, concepts, and principles of Outcome Harvesting by applying the steps to their project and a case study. The trainers will provide tips and insights based on their extensive experiences working with Outcome Harvesting.

Monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) tools and approaches in education is a nine-week online course designed to enhance participants’ MEL knowledge and skills, which are critical for measuring and assessing the status and changes in education systems. Participants will explore the various purposes of MEL and discover its key tools, methods, and approaches. Ultimately, they will design a MEL framework for a selected education policy in their country.

The 2025 conference focuses on the vital role of data in delivering impactful evaluations that drive positive change. From commissioning to reporting, we will explore the data lifecycle in the evaluation process.

Partnerships are critical for designing, implementing, and evaluating public policy, ensuring decisions are well-informed, inclusive, and adaptable. Involving diverse perspectives—from policymakers, researchers, businesses, and citizens—helps create efficient, fair policies that address complex societal challenges and build trust in public services. 

Innovative teaching-learning methodologies are used to explore different dynamics, and through group work, you will explore the key concepts of Theory of Change in Practice.
