MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROGRAMME

Certificate in Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation

Overview of the course

The certificate in Results-Based Manage-

ment (RBM) Systems for the Public and

Development Sectors has been designed as

a response to meet the growing need for a

professional cadre who can design, imple-

ment and manage results-based manage-

ment systems in the public service, the non

-governmental sector and within multi-

laterals development agencies. This kind of

course is intricately linked with the current

emphasis on developing monitoring and

evaluation systems for use in RBM of pro-

grams and projects.

monitoring and evaluation as the produc-

tion of a report on how an institution has

performed in implementing a certain pro-

ject/program. The course aims to inform

participants of the importance of monitor-

ing and evaluation in enhancing the

design of project/programs and policies,

and their implementation to meet the expecta-

tion of the target groups.

Participants will be equipped with an in-depth

understanding of the key components of the

Monitoring and Evaluation system.
