Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is not just about collecting data — it’s about using feedback to refine projects, improve effectiveness, and ensure sustainable impact. This training provides participants with the knowledge and tools to interpret M&E findings, engage stakeholders in learning, and adapt programs based on evidence. Through practical case studies and structured exercises, participants will explore how feedback loops drive project refinement and strengthen accountability, learning, and long-term success.
