Learning Outcomes

Following this three day training, participants will become more familiar with the challenges and best practices in the M&E field. They will understand how they can move from a LogFrame to an online Information System, and they will be ready to apply their newly acquired knowledge to improve their current M&E systems by using the software.

After the completion of the training, every participant will receive an extension of 2 months on their account on ActivityInfo so as to have sufficient time to apply all things learnt and invite other people from their organisation.

Is this training for me?

This training is ideal for you if you are looking for a way to simplify the information management or the monitoring and evaluation efforts of your team using a simple and user-friendly online M&E software. Also, this training will be very beneficial for you if you would like to learn how to move from simply doing data collection for your organisation to creating the actual systems for collecting this information.

Information management officers, IM coordinators and IM consultants, M&E or MEAL officers and consultants, project or programme managers who need to get hands-on experience on using the tool, capacity building officers who want to introduce a new tool to their organization to improve their processes, you are all welcome to join us in this training.
