Monitoring and Evaluation in EU-Funded Projects
Develop a monitoring systems and tools for the succes of EU funded projects
Course Description
This 2-day training course offers a comprehensive deep dive into the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) standards required for development actions funded by DG INTPA, giving participants the confidence to establish and manage monitoring systems that satisfy both donor requirements and local community needs. Moving beyond mere theory, learners will get acquainted with key M&E concepts and tools throughout the project lifecycle – from the initial design of logical frameworks to the navigation of Results-Oriented Monitoring (ROM) reviews – and internalize them thanks to interactive exercises and peer-to-peer discussions.
Learning objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to design robust logical frameworks incorporating adequate indicators that align with DG INTPA’s requirements. Learners will gain the skills to establish comprehensive project monitoring systems, select appropriate data collection methodologies, and transform raw data into analytical narrative reports.
Additionally, the course enables participants to navigate the Results-Oriented Monitoring (ROM) process and apply OECD-DAC criteria to carry out an evaluation of the various aspects of a EU-funded action.
By subscribing to this course, participants will have access to a dedicated page on the PuntoSud learning platform to join live sessions, download course materials, and complete all assignments. The course is structured into 2 days of 4-hour interactive online sessions combined with self-learning, totaling approximately 10 hours of study:
- Preliminary tasks (45 min): Learners will be asked to complete a survey on training expectations and review preliminary training materials.
- Live sessions (8 hours): These two 4-hour sessions will be facilitated by PuntoSud experts and include lectures, plenary discussions, quizzes, and interactive group exercises. The live sessions will be recorded and made available on the learning platform.
- Additional learning material (1 hour): Participants will have access to additional readings and documents to be studied at one’s individual pace.
- Final Tasks (15 min): Participants will provide their feedback on the course by filling out the evaluation form.
Participants will also benefit from an active discussion forum, where they can engage in peer-to-peer learning and receive direct support from the trainer throughout the course duration.
This course is designed for early-career humanitarian and development practitioners involved in the design and implementation of EU-funded development projects in various capacities (e.g. project managers, consortium managers, grant/reporting officers). It is ideal for participants who have a foundational understanding of project design and management but seek to deepen their knowledge of key Monitoring and Evaluation activities and tools.
Computer or tablet with a microphone and speakers or a headset and Internet connection. The live sessions are organized in Zoom – no additional software is required.
All the material will be available for 7 calendar days before the starting date and for 30 calendar days after the end of the last training session.
Once you have reviewed the training material and completed the exit test you can download your certificate of attendance from the learning platform. Each specific course has a certificate to download.
