Live Online International M&E for Development Results Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Multilateral agencies, bilateral donors and international NGOs judge programmes by results, and practitioners must speak a shared language of evidence across countries and partners. The week starts with the global M&E architecture, results-based management, the OECD-DAC evaluation criteria and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals and national priorities. Results framework sessions cover theories of change, logframes, standard and custom indicators, and performance monitoring plans that aggregate results across multiple country programmes. Evaluation design days examine impact evaluation, mixed methods, contribution analysis and generating rigorous evidence under budget and time constraints.
Data analysis, reporting and learning sessions address multi-country data systems, comparability, disaggregation, results reporting to donors and knowledge management. The final day covers managing evaluations, joint and country-led evaluations, evaluation ethics and promoting the use of findings in policy. Comparative case studies from health, governance, climate and economic development programmes keep the discussion grounded in international practice. M&E specialists, programme managers in international organizations, donor staff, government development planners and consultants will be able to design and manage M&E systems that meet international expectations and demonstrate results convincingly.

About this course
This International M&E for Development Results Training focuses on helping professionals strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems that support measurable development results, accountability, and evidence-based management. The course explores results-based management frameworks, performance measurement systems, impact evaluation methodologies, development effectiveness principles, data management approaches, and strategic learning practices. Participants will gain practical skills for measuring outcomes, assessing impact, improving program performance, and supporting informed decision-making across international development initiatives.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from development initiatives, donor-funded programmes, nonprofit operations, and public sector environments, examining how international M&E for development results 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 data analysis, reporting, and learning, 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.
