ICT for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Training Course
Paper questionnaires and emailed spreadsheets slow M&E systems down, introduce errors and leave managers waiting weeks for numbers they need now. The ten days begin with designing a digital M&E architecture, choosing tools and mapping how data flows from field collection to decision makers. Mobile data collection sessions cover form design in platforms such as KoboToolbox and ODK, skip logic, validation rules, GPS and media capture, and offline use in remote areas. Database modules then deal with structuring relational data, unique identifiers, data security, backups and linking monitoring records over time.
Analysis sessions use Excel and statistical packages to clean, summarise and analyse data, before dashboard work builds interactive visualizations in tools such as Power BI. You also learn to automate routine reports, publish results online and communicate findings through digital channels. Throughout, a sample project lets you move one dataset from mobile form to finished dashboard. M&E officers, data managers, ICT staff supporting programmes, researchers and project managers in NGOs, government and development agencies make up the main audience. Afterwards you can set up and run a digital M&E workflow that delivers timely, reliable information.
About this course
The ICT for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Training Course equips professionals with the advanced competencies required to apply ICT for monitoring and evaluation (m&e) effectively, strengthen day-to-day performance, and generate the evidence needed for confident, well-informed decisions. Because organizations now operate under tighter resource, compliance and reporting pressures, specialist capability in this area has moved from desirable to essential. This certified programme combines proven methodology with hands-on application, covering structuring digital M&E, applying digital analysis and the analytical techniques that underpin sound professional judgement.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from banking institutions, financial services firms, audit practices, and public finance bodies, examining how ICT for monitoring and evaluation (m&e) is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for structuring digital M&E, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
