IS THIS TRAINING FOR ME?

Are you wondering how to:

• Save time when you are coordinating many partners collecting data?

• Avoid duplicate effort, outdated documents and aligning spreadsheets?

• Make sure you fully control who accesses the information and what they can do with it?

• Translate collected indicators into meaningful results and reports?

• Work offline using a web-based platform?

• Move from simply doing data entry for an organization to designing the forms and databases in an information system?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then this training is for you.

Join the training to learn how to:

• Simplify the Information Management and M&E processes in your organization using ActivityInfo

• Start creating your own data collection systems, forms and reports

• Manage other partners’ access to the data

• Move from a Logical Framework or Results-Based Framework to an Information System

and many more!

Participants of previous trainings came from the fields of Monitoring and Evaluation and Information Management but this training is very useful for project or programme managers who want to get hands-on experience on using a web-based M&E software or want to introduce a new tool to their organization to improve their processes.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE ON-SITE TRAINING?

“This course saved me a lot of time, as by 'just' following the webinars and reading the manual, I am sure it would have taken me longer to understand how things work and what is possible with ActivityInfo.”

Wim Piels, Consultant and Trainer, Nedworc Foundation, attended The Hague Training, in June 2019.
