Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, students should be able to:
1. highlight at least six (6) importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of health programs;
2. describe three (3) procedures in health project using logical framework;
3. name at least five (5) indicators and targets for each result level;
4. explain two (2) track performance indicators over the life of the project; and
5. identify at least three (3) procedures for developing M&E system.
