This text is excellent for building the capacity of trainers that help professionals and nonprofessionals to learn about program evaluation.
The book contains useful guidelines for designing effective M&E training, or for designing training generally.
Monitoring and Evaluation Training: A Systematic Approach reflects a meticulous review of the literature and discourse on evaluation capacity building and development to inform successful M&E training. It acknowledges the complexity of interdependent considerations, including larger organizational and societal contexts, to not only deliver effective M&E training, but also training transfer - the ability of trainees to apply M&E learning after training has been completed.
I often note that it seems like we’re endlessly training NGO staff in M&E, and frustrated with the mediocre work that results. Effective training is so much more than just delivering or facilitating good content. What is so essential about this book is that it fills a key gap on how to effectively train for M&E, and it does so in a thorough yet digestible format. In an era of increasing demand and need for evaluation capacity building, this book is a key tool for higher quality and more sustainable results.
Monitoring and Evaluation Training is a very comprehensive and well-illustrated training manual which is grounded on modern theories and presents practical application of all known M&E training and facilitation tools and methods. As a former trainer in Project Cycle Management related M&E and facilitator of planning and self-evaluation workshops, I would have loved to have such a book.
