This course is designed for middle to senior level staff from relevant government agencies in both developed and developing countries, as well as non-governmental organisations, donor agencies and service providers.

This module provides M&E specialists with the opportunity to develop a computerised M&E Management Information System (MIS) in a two week period.

In Week One, the data structure for each participant’s MIS is designed. Participants will be encouraged to consider what their information needs are prior to their arrival at UEA. The first week provides a practical, usable information system design.

Week Two takes the design further and using available software packages (database, spreadsheet and World Wide Web software), develops the M&E MIS in a computerised form. Participants will take home a workable system, which can be field tested with live data.
