Monitoring and Evaluation training toolkit

A range of practical tools that can easily be adapted for monitoring and evaluation by small and medium-sized organisations.

They can also be used for training sessions or for staff and partners just wanting ideas on templates to support the monitoring and evaluation of advocacy and influencing work.

Other resources include a participants guide and facilitator’s guide.

Skills and resources required: Some understanding of civil society advocacy and influencing work to be able to adapt the tools to a specific context. Some basic facilitation skills and, ideally, familiarity in participatory tools.
