Course Description

With growing emphasis on participatory approaches towards development, there has been recognition that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) should also be participatory. Conventionally, M&E has involved outside experts coming in to measure performance against pre-set indicators, using standardized procedures and tools. In contrast, participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) involves primary stakeholders as active participants and offers new ways of assessing and learning from change that are more inclusive, and reflects the perspectives and aspirations of those most directly affected. Participation has become a critical concept in development. Donors, governments and NGOs are insisting upon participatory approaches in assessing needs and in implementing programmes. This course will broaden participants’ understanding of participatory monitoring and evaluation.
