This Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects (M&E) course progresses from the more general to the more specific. It begins with an introduction of terms and concepts and the importance of M&E, and then moves to working with the tools and techniques of planning for M&E in projects in progressively greater detail.

Note: The Logical Framework for Project Design e-course is a prerequisite for the M&E course. If you have not taken the Logical Framework course or do not have experience in the use of the logical framework, it is strongly suggested that you take the course prior to initiating this M&E course.
