Monitoring and Evaluation Training: A Systematic Approach is written to address the increasing demand for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) training. It offers a systematic approach to M&E training for programs and projects, bridging theoretical concepts with practical, how-to knowledge to support M&E training that makes a difference. It combines training design (as an instructional approach) with program M&E (as content for that training) to achieve an outcome (stakeholder participation) that is vital for program success. Scott Chaplowe and J. Bradley Cousins focuses on participatory training methods, capacity building, program design (theory of change) and logic models, and fills an important gap in the literature. Part I outlines key concepts in M&E training; chapters in Part II provide a systematic approach to delivering the training; and Part III consists of twenty-one methods and techniques (including activities) that can be utilized to achieve M&E training goals. The book will be a useful supplementary text for program evaluation courses in higher education, as well as an invaluable resource for practitioners in the field.
