@Norbert said in M&E career:

Hello !
I have been in Design Monitoring and Evaluation for more than 7 years. If you're starting from scratch, I recommend you also to take courses on Project Management which will give you overview of the project cycle and then you will understand where M&E fits and then as others suggested , you can do internship or volunteering like others have suggested for learning by doing because M&E is a lifelong learning career

Thanks great advice

Depending on the nature of the conflict and how long it last, if conflict is just for a short period of time waiting for things to cool off will be a better idea.

@willoetal said in Monitoring and evaluation processes:

Hello..I am Willard from Zimbabwe. My submission is that -Monitoring happens on a daily basis, to confirm whether we are on course to achieve set goals, take corrective action on identified challenges. Evaluation builds on data collected routinely but over a long period . Whilst monitoring focuses of effectiveness-doing things right in a project .,Evaluation measure efficiency. It measures the cost effectiveness-looking at resources put in an intervention and results generated. Evaluation measures doing right things right.

I would also like to add that the main criteria of distinction between monitoring and evaluation is the moment of data collecting. While data are collected regularly to make decision in the monitoring, Évaluation use data at the en of the process.

Hello everyone, my name is Nuhu Yusuf Galadima am from Nigeria, i believe that you can apply M&E, in the small business u are into, not necessarily you working as a M&E personal. i come to be leave that in what you do in life it needs monitoring planning and evaluation. i will give a small example. imagine you just got a contract to supply new paper to like 10 company every Monday morning and those company are not close to each other you need transport for you to get those destinations and on time, now u need to plan monitor and evaluate how best to meet up with those delivery.

are u employing some one to help u make some of those delivery what impact will make when u don't deliver on time
3 how are you going to impress or satisfy your employer
ETC
so you need to plan, monitor evaluate for you to succeed.
just try using your present job and experiment, set target for your self record your progress and your achievement.
i assure u get your answers.

Dear community,
Nice to e-meet you.
I am new in the Philanthropy University, so still getting used to the platform.
I was looking for a course in Evaluation and I fall here. My question is: when does the new M&E course start? I feel a bit confused. Thank you!

Thanks Nuria for your email. The next M&E starts on Monday 13 2019. I Wish you a happy resumption.

Thank you!

Hi all,
my name is Anne. I'm originally from Nigeria, but I've been living in the UK and now the US. Our non-profit's HQ has recently moved to the US, but our projects are delivered in Madagascar, Ghana and Nigeria.
I'm very interested in M&E especially from the lense of the beneficiary instead of the usual measurements with a donor focus. I have a Business background, not Development. I'm a Founder/CEO. I', looking for new thinking from from the perspective of the beneficiary.
I have great hopes and can't wait to start!

you are welcome @RipplesFoundation. hopefully we will be sharing ideas soonest.

@all,

Hi, We usually conduct a weekly review session with our team , wherein we discuss what has been completed in this week so far, and discuss about the priorities for the next week. Along with that, we take the mutual agreement of team and set the timelines for completion of important assignments. The reminder for the assignment deadline is given to all , and after completion of the same, it is marked green/completed and send for review. We keep track of every field activity through a developed tracker to measure the initiation and its success indicator.

Thank you for being here! @Nelson @ii3_ @pharmiduhja @Nminds @Mawusi @samueldavid

We hope you will come back often to contribute your ideas and questions to this community :)

@abey said in Weekly Welcome: Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning – 24 SEP 2018:

Good day all.am glad to join and wish to learn because I have no experience in measurements and evaluation before

Hello Abey,
Thank you for joining this community. If you are on a quest to learning about M&E, you are in the right place! The course is structured in a way where you can be able to learn the basics with little or no experience. Remain focused, submit your assignments as at when due and be open to learning: this is the best way to maximize this learning platform. Finally, reach out to any of the Course Ambassadors when you encounter any challenge or need clarification.

Keep Learning, Keep Growing. Cheers!

Thank you
I have started that already

I apologize for the delayed response :( I did not see this post until a few days ago, unfortunately.

Sorry to hear @Damey, perhaps you could post in the discussion board there to see if others could assist you or join a team with you. What do you think?

Good luck with the course!

@scottm said in INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Philanthropy University community, Grace! @iyemewe

One way to get started is to ask a question you about new concept in M&E and see who can help answer. We are here to support each other!

I look forward to hearing more and learning from your years of experience, too.

Thank you so much.
