| Summary: | This course recognizes the longevity of the practices of monitoring and evaluation which have
trekked the long journey of human civilization and are claimed to be as old as man himself as
well as the growing importance attached to this field both as a practice and academic study. The
course recognizes that the academic study of the field of monitoring and evaluation has gained
immense interest due to the mismatc h between demand and supply of M and E practitioners and
Professionals. Government of Uganda designed the national monitoring and Evaluation policy of
the country and it is anticipated that each Ministry, Department and Agency (MDA) will have a
fully fledg ed monitoring and evaluation unit. While some MDAs have moved towards this
direction, others are yet to operationalize this partially due to lack of well trained experts in the
field at graduate level.
The overall goal of the Master of Monitoring and Evaluation Program is to strengthen the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of interventions by governments, civil society and non-government organizations as well as development partners in Sub-Saharan Africa through the development and enhancement of capacity for evaluation The program broadly aims to impart knowledge, skills and competences to students interested in building a career in monitoring and evaluation. Specifically, the program is intended to: -
i. Impart up-to date knowledge, skills and competencies on evaluation within diverse contexts
ii. Produce evaluation experts with management skills and competencies in making critical decisions that affect delivery of public services at all levels of society
iii. Produce graduates who can design, conduct and manage efficient and effective evaluations |
