Workshop Session – Monitoring and Evaluation
On 12th September, we hosted an interactive Monitoring and Evaluation workshop for Stage 2 applicants. This session focused on M&E, logframes and Standard Indicators. It involved some presentations combined with interactive practical sessions to support applicants in writing Stage 2 application. It covered the use of project design tools and methods to ensure that logframes are as robust as possible through the inclusion of “SMART” indicators and appropriate means of verification.
