The purpose of this three-module diploma is to equip learners with the critical knowledge and skillset needed to design and implement (M&E) systems. The diploma is designed in alignment with international standards for (M&E), namely, the American Evaluation Association (AEA) guiding principles for evaluators and the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) core competencies for evaluators of the UN System. The program will blend planning and project management principles with skill development concerning evaluation study design, developing (M&E) frameworks, data collection and analysis, and IT's changing role. Special focus will be given to professional practice and to balancing the ethical aspects of an evaluation.

The objective of this course is to equip students with the knowledge and skills in Project Monitoring and Evaluation and to enable them to involve communities in the entire project implementation process.

This diploma is designed to teach how to conceptualize and track complex projects, analyze these projects, and report on the process, ensuring the best possible outcomes. Monitoring and Evaluation in the public and non-profit sectors has become critical in designing and implementing programs in complex social contexts. There is a growing need to define appropriate program indicators, design fit-for-purpose monitoring systems, and apply sound theoretical basis to program design and evaluation.

This program aims to strengthen capacity in management, monitoring and evaluation. It is a response to government’s demand for personnel who can accurately measure outputs and outcomes of its interventions as a way of enhancing evidence-based decision-making. Scarcity of local personnel with these and other related skills translates into government sourcing these skills internationally, which is often expensive, untimely, and not customized.

This program is tailored for development practitioners seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in the fields of development monitoring, evaluation, planning, and management.
