This session will focus on approaches to program monitoring and its use for program management and evaluation. The content will focus on monitoring both process or implementation strategies and outcomes (both intermediate outcomes and final outcomes, if desired). The session will describe how to set-up program monitoring systems. Participants will learn about various database management systems that facilitate program monitoring. Finally the program will emphasize use of program monitoring data for evaluation and planning.
