MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Good intentions aren’t enough. We all want to make a difference—but without clear measurement, it’s hard to know what’s working, what’s not, or how to improve.
This course equips you with practical tools for Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)—so you can stop guessing and start measuring the impact of your programs. Whether you're leading a large NGO or guiding a small ministry, you'll learn how to create a Theory of Change, build a Logic Model, set measurable goals, and develop systems for continuous learning.
If you’re ready to move from anecdotal stories to data-informed decisions, this course is for you.
