About this course
This module is part of a series of four modules on project cycle management. The four modules are:
- Needs Assessment
- Project Identification and Design
- Project Planning and Implementation
- Monitoring and Evaluation
This module explores the purpose of monitoring and evaluating a project, and when these activities take place in the project cycle. It defines key concepts including goals, outcomes, outputs and activities, indicators and means of verification. The module is contextualised for Ukraine and its neighbouring countries receiving refugees, and is designed to support learners to apply practical considerations in their work to support effective monitoring, evaluation and reporting.
The module is a live session that will take place on zoom. The session provides opportunities for learners to actively participate in the session and to apply the learning to their own context.
*Please note that the module is short and is intended to provide an introduction to the topic. The key messages document that will be shared at the end of the session provides a summary of all of the key points as well as further learning that they can undertake after the module to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are introduced.
