M&E for Economic Development Projects Training Course in Nigeria
Classroom cohorts in Abuja, Lagos · live online · in-house anywhere in Nigeria
Economic development projects promise jobs, higher incomes and growing enterprises, and funders expect hard evidence that those changes happened and can be linked to the intervention. You begin by structuring an M&E system around a results chain for livelihoods, value chain, enterprise and infrastructure investments. Baseline sessions cover socioeconomic surveys, household and business income measurement, employment data and market assessments. Implementation monitoring then addresses activity tracking, field supervision, output verification and early warning when delivery falls behind.
Economic performance modules introduce indicators such as jobs created, revenue and productivity changes, return on investment and cost-benefit measures, alongside approaches for measuring market system change. Data collection and management sessions deal with survey tools, sampling, mobile collection and quality assurance. The final module covers evaluation designs, attribution and contribution, and reporting results to investors, donors and government partners. Practical exercises use a sample enterprise development programme to build an indicator framework and baseline plan. M&E officers, economists, private sector development specialists, programme managers and county or ministry planning staff will find it directly useful. You finish able to show credible economic results instead of activity counts.
