The Advanced Certificate in Monitoring and Evaluation is designed to empower students with essential tools and skills to enhance project management effectiveness through robust monitoring and evaluation practices. As famously stated by Peter Drucker, "If it is not measured, it is not managed" — this programme embodies this philosophy by equipping participants with the means to monitor projects effectively, learn from experiences, and take timely interventions to ensure project success. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is increasingly recognised as pivotal in programme management, playing a crucial role in organisational sustainability across various sectors.
The demand for skilled monitoring and evaluation project managers is continuously rising, making this programme a priority for professionals in diverse industries. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles and key concepts in developing M&E systems, setting up monitoring and reporting mechanisms, evaluating interventions in public or civil society sectors, and navigating professional and ethical considerations in M&E portfolio management.
By engaging with practical case studies and real-world scenarios, participants will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to design and implement monitoring and evaluation systems from project initiation to close-out, thereby contributing significantly to improved project outcomes and organisational success. Gain the expertise to drive effective monitoring and evaluation practices and make informed decisions for project success and impact.
