Monitoring and Evaluation Certification Programme
20 March–12 May 2023
The course is available in English
Introduction to the course
To measure success and report on results, development workers and public-sector managers create monitoring and evaluation systems. Such systems make it possible to learn from experience and improve programme and project performance. Because monitoring and evaluation is an essential function for all organizations, programmes and projects, international and public-sector organizations have for several years been investing in the creation of such structures. To meet the need for specialist knowledge in this field, the ITCILO is offering an online certification programme that provides all the technical skills and tools required to ensure effective monitoring of projects and programmes, and to manage the various evaluations that are part of the programming cycle.
