Turning Data into Useful Information for Program/ Policy Improvements

(Keith Linard, Australia)

Monitoring and evaluation produces data that should help produce useful information for improving program and policy decisions. However, this is often a huge challenge. many M&Esystems produce lots of data but not necessary the right information for critical decision-making. The workshop is meant to guide participants on how to turn M&E data into useful information.

Designing and developing outcome-based sector development plans (Bernard Woods, Canada)

The design and development of sector plans that are outcome based can be a difficult process. Most results based management tools and techniques have been developed for project level application and cannot be easily extended to the sector level. In addition, there are questions of aligning projects and programs with sector results frameworks. The workshop will take participants through a hands-on process of developing outcome based sector development plans through a mixture of theory and practice. At the end of the workshop the expected outputs are: increased levels of knowledge and skills of the participants in the application of results based management at the sector level to create outcome based sector development plans.
