| | Description | This course is already closed.   | | Join us in Washington, D.C. for a one week course on the fundamental issues of monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The course is organized by the World Bank Institute Evaluation Group – with experience teaching over 4,000 participants across 60 countries in the last decade - and taught by the team’s senior evaluation experts. Combining both attention to M&E theory and practical applications of the theory, the 35 participants completing the course will gain knowledge and experience on M&E tools, techniques, and resources needed for planning, organizing, and/or managing programs and projects. | |   | | The course provides an overview of the theoretical foundations of M&E methods, as well as ample opportunities for practical application of these methods through case studies, course exercises, and group projects. The course will feature equal time for instructor presentations and practical, hands-on sessions for participants to work in teams, discuss problem scenarios, share experiences, and develop M&E tools that they can apply in their own jobs following the course. | |  | | Also happening in Washington in July - The Evaluators' Institute | Our World Bank Institute M&E for Results program is being offered in early July to coincide with a two week evaluation program, offered in mid-July, by The Evaluators' Institute (TEI) at George Washington University, also in Washington, DC. Click here for more information. | |   |
| | Objectives | | Upon completing the course, the participants will have gained the following: | | Â Â | - increased knowledge about M&E methods and practices to help them design, implement, and manage their respective M&E responsibilities;
- broadened awareness about M&E resources available to them, from online evaluation tools to evaluation associations;
- new and enhanced skills in developing and using M&E tools, from developing logic models to analyzing qualitative data; and
- a community of course instructors and fellow participants with whom they can communicate about M&E issues long after this course.
