Having completed this course, I give credit to the Philanthropy University and FHI360 team for conveying such a technical given subject matter (monitoring and evaluation) in such a simplified manner.

Though, the fundamental concepts, skill sets, tools and knowledge of the field (monitoring and evaluation) are enormous, however, the basic and fundamental of it all were all covered and discussed in simplified terms, devoid of any technical jargons.

The assessments and quizzes were also relevant, as it gave me the opportunity to appropriately apply and exercise the knowledge gained, tools learnt and skills developed.

Kudos to Philanthropy University team for putting up quality learning opportunities in collaboration with international organizations of high reputation, to esteemed learners at no cost to the prospective learner, in contrast to the popular belief that nothing of high quality comes for free.

Having undertook some selected courses of Philanthropy University and attest to the fact that it was a time well spent for me, I look forward to undertaking many more courses to come.

The course is narrated in simple language which most of the people can get through even for though English is not their native language. The step by step instructions are very helpful even for a slow learner can corp with it. Examples used are very simple and therefore well understood to motivate a learner try to do himself/herself for practical purpose. To conclude I would say, the course is well prepared in a manner which inspire someone to continue reading and doing something for practical purpose. It is real a self- paced learning course. No technical terminologies have been used or where they are used are given simple descriptions which most learner can understand. I enjoyed learning.

This course "Planning for Monitoring and Evaluation" introduced the fundamentals of M&E and went further to guide the learners through a robust process of creating an M&E Plan. It explained the meaning, similarities and differences between monitoring and evaluation. In addition, the course walked the learners through the important components of an M&E plan (Introduction document, Logical Framework, Indicator Document, Data Flow Map, Roles and Responsibility Chart).
The course stressed the need and made learners understand that monitory and evaluation was fundamental to the success of any project and must be inculcated into the project as early as at the design phase.

Before now, I have been scouting the internet for resources on M&E with little success due to the junks out there. But in spite of my skepticism about the thorough nature of online course, I decided to just give it a try and really, the Philanthropy University platform is the best. The case studies, resource, illustrations, tasks etc. was wonderful and for everyone of my team at Oliveserah Business and Academic Concepts, taking courses with Philanthropy University will become a norm.

This course by Philanthropy University is so educative and fully completing it will help bring a lot of positive changes within your organization and leads to a successful project implementation, putting you in the right position for evaluation and even monitoring. I wholeheartedly recommend this course and other courses offered by Philanthropy University like Essentials of Non-profit Strategy, Project Management.

This is a very important course as far as successful project development completion is concern.
