“The course enabled me to understand the importance of monitoring and evaluation and how to apply it in practice, which was possible thanks to the working groups. I now see myself able to design a logical framework, which is very necessary for my organization”

The trainers
The sessions are delivered by high-level speakers from the expert network of the College of Europe, which comprises academics, practitioners, and project experts with a sound experience in the field of Monitoring and Evaluation of EU-funded projects.
Their extensive experience in developing and implementing monitoring and evaluation strategies has not only contributed to the overall success of projects in different EU cooperation frameworks and delivery tools worldwide, but they are also a reference in in-house trainings for officials of funding agencies and International Organisations.
“Observers of development cooperation have often noted a tendency among aid organisations to spend considerable amounts of resources to design projects up to the point of perfection, with little attention given to how proper information can be collected on the measurement of progress and ultimate success. This why M&E systems are a crucial element (albeit only one in many) in the overall project cycle management, as they facilitate the regular, “live” tracking of progress along relevant and realistic metrics as well as assist in a robust, objective and structured assessment of results achieved with the view to learn and share feedback”
– Dr Nicolas MARCOUX, trainer.
Our trainers are looking forward to meeting you!
