INTRODUCTION

Developments projects need continuous tracking in addition to periodic assessments in order to be effective and efficient. Donors, stakeholders, project implementation team, beneficiaries and general publics require constant feed back on project performance. This project management, monitoring and evaluation course will be a blend of planning and management principles with related skill-development. Delegates will learn about the kinds of questions that should be asked when directing and reviewing the development of projects, as well as how to complete ‘due diligence’ in order to support the leadership to make informed and effective decisions. This course aims to equip delegates with the knowledge and expertise in Policy Development, Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting which is critical to any organisation or government department involved in development projects and programmes or Policy related issues.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon the successful completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Develop your own project cycle management from Action Plan to implement on-the-job

• Know when an evaluation should take place and by whom (participatory evaluation)
• Identify appropriate qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques
• Construct an evaluation report and terms of reference
• Understand and manage the policy consultation process
• assess policy documents and identify the difference between Broad Policy, Specific Policy and Operational Policy
• identify the factors that distinguish policy from an issue
• identify the roles of leadership and staff in policy development and implementation
• assess the relationship between values, decision-making and policy
• apply the Vision Approach and Problem Approach when assessing policy
• identify each stage of the Policy Cycle and evaluate each stage in the First Nations context
