| Venue: The training workshop will be held at SDPI or in a local hotel in Islamabad. |
Introduction
Many projects suffer from variances between planned schedules, allocated budgets and actual implementation outcomes. Absence of valid and reliable baseline data makes it extremely difficult to evaluate the impact of any project. Only verifiable indicators can facilitate the success of a project. To address and rectify such problems, project directors/managers must have an accurate and timely information about the real progress of their projects so that necessary decision can be made in time to correct deviations and variances.This workshop is designed to develop participants’ skills required to identify and collect relevant data through effective monitoring and then using it to ensure success of their projects.
Who should attend?
The training workshop is designed for middle and senior level project managers, monitors, evaluators and team leaders, who are directly or indirectly involved in monitoring and/or evaluating projects, or are expected to be engaged in such activities in future. The training will be useful for participants from industry, public sector development organizations, academia, international funding agencies, NGOs and consultants.
