Designing and Conducting Surveys for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Training

This practical and interactive training focuses on helping professionals design and conduct high-quality surveys that generate reliable evidence for monitoring and evaluation purposes. The course explores survey design principles, sampling methodologies, questionnaire development, data collection techniques, survey quality assurance, data analysis approaches, and reporting frameworks. Participants will gain practical skills for collecting accurate data, measuring outcomes, improving evidence generation, and supporting informed decision-making.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from banking institutions, financial services firms, audit practices, and public finance bodies, examining how designing and conducting surveys for monitoring and evaluation (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 questionnaire design principles., 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.

• Design high-quality surveys that support monitoring and evaluation objectives.
• Analyze survey requirements and select appropriate research and sampling methodologies.
• Implement effective data collection systems that ensure reliability and validity.
• Evaluate survey results to measure performance, outcomes, and impact.
• Apply questionnaire design techniques and survey management frameworks effectively.
• Integrate survey findings into monitoring, evaluation, and organizational learning systems.
• Optimize decision-making through evidence generated from robust survey processes.

• Monitoring and Evaluation Specialists.
• Researchers and Data Analysts.
• Program and Project Managers.
• Development and Humanitarian Professionals.
• Performance Management Officers.
• Survey Coordinators and Field Supervisors.
• Policy Makers and Decision-Makers.

By the end of the Designing and Conducting Surveys for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Training, participants will leave with:

• Comprehensive understanding of survey design and implementation methodologies.
• Enhanced ability to develop reliable and valid survey instruments.
• Improved competency in sampling techniques and data collection systems.
• Practical techniques for survey data analysis and interpretation.
• Greater confidence in managing surveys for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
• Stronger capability to support strategic decisions through credible survey evidence.
• Improved approaches for strengthening accountability, reporting, and organizational learning.

This training course uses a practical and participant-centered learning approach that strengthens survey design, data collection, and evidence-generation capabilities for monitoring and evaluation systems. The methodology combines expert instruction, applied survey frameworks, and real-world examples that support reliable data collection and informed decision-making.

Methodology includes:

• Expert-led sessions facilitated by survey research and M&E specialists.
• Practical application of survey design, sampling, and data collection methodologies.
• Real-world case studies from development, research, and evaluation programs.
• Tool-based demonstrations of digital survey platforms and data management systems.
• Interactive discussions supported by scenario-based learning approaches.
