Live Online Quantitative Data Analysis for M&E Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 19, 2026 · from USD 1,700
Survey and monitoring datasets only become evidence when someone can summarise them correctly, test whether differences are real and explain the results without overstating them. The ten days start with core statistical concepts for M&E: variables and levels of measurement, populations and samples, sampling designs and the role of analysis plans. You then prepare data for analysis by cleaning, coding, recoding, handling missing values and computing indicators such as proportions, means and composite indices. Descriptive sessions cover frequencies, cross-tabulations, measures of central tendency and dispersion, and disaggregation by sex, age and location.
Inferential statistics follow, with confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, t-tests, chi-square tests, ANOVA, correlation and linear and logistic regression, all interpreted in programme terms. You practise in software such as Excel, SPSS or Stata, and learn to present results through tables, charts and dashboards that decision makers can follow. Later sessions address data quality, ethics and reporting statistical findings honestly to stakeholders. Exercises use baseline and endline datasets from sample projects. M&E officers, data analysts, researchers and programme staff who handle survey data will find the content practical. Afterwards you can plan and carry out the analysis behind a credible results report.

About this course
The Quantitative Data Analysis for M&E Training Course equips professionals with the advanced competencies required to apply quantitative data analysis for M&E effectively, strengthen day-to-day performance, and generate the evidence needed for confident, well-informed decisions. With rising scrutiny of performance and value for money, institutions need practitioners who can work to recognized standards and defend their decisions with evidence. This certified programme combines proven methodology with hands-on application, covering strategy and integration, quantitative data module 1 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 quantitative data analysis for 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 strategy and integration, 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.
