Onboarding new monitoring and evaluation (M&E) staff requires a structured introduction to data collection, project design, data quality, analysis, and reporting. This guide provides a customizable framework for agencies to orient staff whose roles include M&E responsibilities, pairing curated reading materials, recorded webinars, and e-learning courses with hands-on reflection activities.
Topics span M&E fundamentals, logic models, theories of change, SMART indicators, data collection methods, informed consent, needs assessments, data quality assurance, data analysis, and data-driven reporting and communication. The guide is organized into three sections: Introducing M&E, Project Design, and Evidence-Based Programming; Data Collection and Management; and Using Data for Learning and Reporting. Designed for frontline M&E staff and program staff with significant M&E responsibilities at resettlement agencies.
