3rd Monitoring & Evaluation in Disaster Risk Reduction
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a cornerstone of effective management. It equips leaders with the tools to measure progress and determine the impact of their projects regularly. At its core, M&E acts as a magnifying glass, enabling organizations to confirm if they're meeting their targets, if activities dovetail with planned strategies, and if resources are being efficiently harnessed. In the specialized Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) field, M&E serves as a navigational tool, helping professionals track the dynamics of risk-reducing measures. It's a crucial metric for evaluating the success of broader developmental and humanitarian initiatives.
This course is tailored to refine participants' expertise in DRR-centric M&E. Our focus is designing resilient monitoring frameworks and creating thorough evaluation methodologies to oversee and glean lessons from DRR activities effectively. Additionally, we'll explore the Sendai Framework Monitor, an integral part of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) (2015-2030). This detailed monitoring structure is fortified with 38 indicators, each highlighting the progress of the SFDRR's seven overarching targets. Hence, countries need to monitor the rollout of SFDRR practices at national and local levels.
Learning objectives
At the end of this three-day course, participants should be able to:
- Explain basic DRR-related concepts, frameworks, and needs for M&E
- Describe the process for designing an M&E framework and system for disaster programs & projects
- Explain M&E in project cycle and process to develop M&E into DRM project cycle management
- Share knowledge and experience amongst different agencies and partners in the region who conduct M&E in DRM
