About the seminar
Systematic Monitoring and Evaluation is an essential part of project planning and implementation, since it provides essential feed-back which make it possible to determine the extent to which objectives are being achieved and which changes are necessary to improve performance. Simple principles for practical and effective Monitoring and Evaluation are proposed, based on 40 years experience in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating rural development projects.
