Project Management, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Impact Assessment Training Course in Johannesburg, South Africa
Classroom training in Johannesburg · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 3,400
Development and public sector projects are judged on lasting change, not just on whether activities were completed on time and within budget. Bringing planning and results measurement together from the start makes that change easier to deliver and to prove. You begin with the project environment, stakeholder analysis, problem trees, theory of change, logframes, work plans and budgets. Monitoring sessions cover indicator selection, baselines, targets, performance tracking, data quality and earned value basics for schedule and cost control.
Evaluation days compare formative, summative, process and outcome evaluations, the OECD DAC criteria and mixed methods. Impact assessment sessions explain counterfactual designs such as randomized trials, difference-in-differences and propensity score matching, alongside contribution analysis where experiments are not feasible. The final day integrates management and M&E into a single performance system that supports learning and sustainability. Project managers, M&E leads, programme directors, planners and evaluators with prior experience are well matched to this advanced level. You will be able to design a project with measurable results, choose an evaluation design that fits its budget and context, and lead a credible assessment of its impact.

About this course

The course explores project planning methodologies, monitoring systems, evaluation techniques, impact assessment approaches, reporting structures, and performance management practices.
