Agricultural Project Monitoring and Evaluation
 
PREMISE: The wide gap between many development project targets and actual achievement has, in most cases, been caused by the failure of the projects to generate and disseminate information to the relevant project components during the project life. The problem is often times traced to inadequacy, and sometimes lack of the requisite skills among project managers and officers performing monitoring and evaluation functions.

  • apply appropriate skills and techniques of monitoring and evaluation in their organisations;
  • write monitoring and evaluation (M & E) reports;
  • disseminate monitoring and evaluation results in their organisations;
  • appreciation computers in monitoring and evaluation; and
  • design appropriate monitoring and evaluation systems for their organisations.
