eStudy 021: Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Planning for Programs/Projects - Scott Chaplowe

Dates: Tuesday & Thursday November 13 & 15, 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern Time. For one registration fee, participants may attend 1 or both sessions.

Last day to register is Wednesday November 7

Length: 3 total contact hours

Description: This workshop will introduce six key planning steps for a successful monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system: 1) Identify the purpose and scope of the M&E system; 2) Plan for data collection and management; 3) Plan for data analysis; 4) Plan for information reporting and utilization; 5) Plan for M&E human resources and capacity building; 6) Prepare the M&E budget. The 6-step approach has been designed to guide international programming at both the community and national levels, and is also appropriate for domestic (US) programs and projects.

The eStudy will address the different stages of the project/program cycle and planning for the corresponding M&E activities (events). Particular emphasis will be given to planning for data collection and management using an example M&E planning table for indicators and assumptions. The eStudy will walk through how to develop an M&E planning table that builds upon a project/program’s logframe to detail key M&E requirements for each indicator and assumption. Like the logframe, M&E planning tables are becoming common practice in both international and domestic programming – and with good reason. They not only make data collection and reporting more efficient and reliable, but they also help better plan and manage projects/program through careful consideration of what is being implemented and measured.

This eStudy will occur in two 90-minute sessions and will include preparation materials sent before, between, and after the sessions. It is appropriate for both the new and more experienced M&E practitioners, as well as program/project managers.

Presenter: Scott Chaplowe is currently a Senior M&E Officer at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), based in Geneva. In addition to M&E, his work includes strategic planning, organizational development, and capacity building for international organizations, with an emphasis on participatory methodologies. He regularly gives trainings in M&E, including professional development workshops with the AEA, the European Evaluation Society, the South African Monitoring and Evaluation Association, and the Malaysian Evaluation Society.
