Monitoring and Evaluation for Governance Training Course in Kenya

Classroom cohorts in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Naivasha, Machakos · live online · in-house anywhere in Kenya

Governance outcomes such as accountability, rule of law, transparency and citizen trust are harder to measure than vaccinations delivered or roads built, which leaves many reform programmes unable to show their worth. The week begins with governance performance and accountability systems, public sector results frameworks and the role of oversight bodies. Measurement sessions cover governance indicator sets, perception and experience surveys, administrative data and composite indices, and the limits of each. You then work on data collection, citizen report cards, community scorecards, social audits, performance contracts and reporting on public service delivery.

Evaluation days apply theory-based and mixed-methods approaches to anti-corruption, decentralisation, public financial management and justice reforms, where attribution is difficult. The final day looks at using findings to strengthen policy, institutional performance and citizen engagement, together with open data and digital governance trends. Case studies from national and local governments illustrate practical solutions to measurement challenges. Public sector planners, M&E officers in ministries and counties, governance programme staff, civil society monitors and oversight agency personnel will be able to track governance performance credibly and use evidence to drive reform.
