About the Course
Social protection programs play a critical role in reducing poverty, enhancing resilience, and promoting inclusive economic growth. However, the effectiveness of these programs depends heavily on the strength of their Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems. Robust M&E frameworks enable governments and development partners to track progress, ensure accountability, optimize resource utilization, and generate evidence for policy and program improvement.
This training program on Monitoring and Evaluation in Social Protection is designed to strengthen participantsā capacity to design, implement, and manage robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems for social protection programs. It draws on best practices and frameworks and aligns with global standards.
The course emphasizes results-based management, data-driven decision-making, accountability, and impact assessment in social protection interventions. Participants will also gain hands-on experience in developing M&E frameworks, selecting and operationalizing indicators, conducting rigorous evaluations, and translating data into actionable insights.
Target Participants
This course is designed for professionals involved in the design, implementation, and oversight of social protection programs, including:
- M&E Specialists
- Program Managers
- Government Officials
It is ideal for those seeking to strengthen their skills in advanced monitoring, evaluation, and evidence-based decision-making.
What You Will Learn
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Design a comprehensive Social Protection M&E Framework
- Develop and apply appropriate indicators aligned with program objectives and national frameworks
- Apply advanced data collection and management techniques
- Conduct evaluations, including impact assessments using appropriate methodologies
- Interpret and communicate M&E findings for decision-making and policy improvement
