Course Introduction

The aim of Prospen Africa’s Results-Driven Monitoring, Evaluation, and Implementation Training is to apply monitoring and evaluation approaches and tools to assess an organisation’s or programme’s performance in a specific context. This course equips participants with knowledge and skills in monitoring and evaluation to accurately assess the performance of public sector organisations or programmes.

Course Duration Options

This course is available in two formats, so you can choose the depth that fits your time and needs:

2-Day Essentials Core Foundations

M&E foundations and framework design, AI-enhanced data collection, and AI-enhanced data analysis and reporting essentials.

Ideal for: Professionals who need practical, current M&E capability without an extended time commitment.

5-Day Comprehensive Full Depth

The full five-module curriculum in complete depth, including in-depth stakeholder identification, hands-on data analysis practice, and comprehensive report structuring and feedback mechanisms.

Ideal for: Professionals seeking full-depth M&E mastery, hands-on data analysis experience, and comprehensive reporting frameworks.

Both formats are delivered face-to-face, virtually, or in-house, and share the same practical, hands-on instructional approach.
