Course Overview

Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects Effectively is a specialized training program offered by Pideya Learning Academy, designed to provide professionals with the advanced tools and techniques needed to monitor, measure, and evaluate project performance with precision. The course emphasizes the importance of a well-structured monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system to ensure that projects meet their objectives, deadlines, and budgets. Participants will learn how to develop comprehensive performance baselines, define key performance indicators (KPIs), and apply effective reporting mechanisms, all while utilizing practical methods to enhance their projects’ success.
The training covers fundamental areas such as establishing robust project governance, mastering planning techniques, and adopting advanced project control methods. Furthermore, the course offers participants the opportunity to develop essential leadership, negotiation, and communication skills necessary to manage and evaluate projects effectively. The course has been specifically tailored to address the growing demand for skilled project managers capable of monitoring and evaluating projects with practical and actionable strategies.
Industry statistics show that approximately 70% of projects fail to meet their objectives due to inadequate planning, monitoring, and control systems.

The training offers both theoretical insights and practical approaches to ensure that participants gain real-world application skills. While hands-on sessions are not directly provided, participants will be encouraged to apply learned concepts to case studies and scenarios that closely mirror the challenges they face in their projects. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the necessary tools to create robust project performance tracking systems, control project progress, and make informed decisions that drive project success.
