Training on Monitoring and Evaluation using GIS
Course Overview
Monitoring and Evaluation using GIS equips professionals with practical skills to integrate geospatial analysis into M&E systems. The course demonstrates how Geographic Information Systems enhance project tracking, performance measurement, and evidence-based decision-making by adding a spatial dimension to traditional monitoring frameworks.
Participants will learn how to design GIS-enabled M&E frameworks, collect and manage spatial data, analyze geographic patterns of service delivery, and assess project outcomes across different locations. The training emphasizes linking indicators to geographic coordinates, enabling more precise targeting, gap analysis, and impact assessment.
Through hands-on exercises and case studies, participants will explore spatial dashboards, thematic mapping, hotspot analysis, service coverage mapping, and beneficiary tracking. The course also covers integration of GIS with survey tools, mobile data collection platforms, and reporting systems to streamline real-time monitoring and evaluation processes.
By the end of this 5-day course, participants will be able to design, implement, and manage GIS-supported M&E systems that improve accountability, transparency, and program effectiveness across sectors such as development, health, infrastructure, education, and environmental management.
