M&E Frameworks for Nonprofits Training Course in Machakos, Kenya
Classroom training in Machakos · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 1,500
Nonprofits are under growing pressure to show donors and boards what difference they make, often with small teams and little dedicated budget for evaluation. The week begins with what a practical monitoring and evaluation system looks like for a charity, foundation, faith-based or community organization, and how it serves learning as well as accountability. Framework design sessions cover theory of change, logic models, results frameworks and an M&E plan scaled to your organization's size. Performance measurement days focus on choosing a manageable set of indicators, setting baselines and targets, and organising data with simple spreadsheets and digital forms.
Evaluation sessions explain internal reviews, beneficiary feedback, case studies, outcome harvesting and when to commission an external evaluation. The final day addresses impact reporting, storytelling with data, integrating M&E into fundraising and strategy, and emerging trends such as digital data collection. Participants draft an M&E framework for their own organization or a sample nonprofit and test it with peers. Executive directors, programme officers, M&E staff, grant managers and board members of nonprofits will be able to set up a proportionate system that demonstrates results and improves programmes.
