Monitoring and Evaluation for Development Programmes

Donors and government departments want proof that a programme changed something, not just a list of activities completed. Theory of change, indicator design, baseline and endline surveys, and the logframe reporting that funders across Africa expect from implementing partners are worked through in practical detail.
