The Regional Project Monitoring Committee (RPMC) of the Cagayan Valley Regional Development Council conducted a specialized capability-building program on using monitoring and evaluation (M&E) results for project development and management on 4-5 December in Sta. Ana, Cagayan.
The training was specifically designed for local M&E practitioners and decision-makers, particularly the members of the Project Monitoring Committees at the regional and local levels. This aims to strengthen their ability to interpret and apply M&E results throughout the project cycle, from planning and design to implementation, monitoring, and performance improvements.
Lectures and workshops on project logic and theory of change, data cleaning and processing, and communicating M&E results were conducted. The participants were also taught how to extract data through Microsoft Excel and turn them into actionable insights.
Mr. Don Christian Mariano and Mr. Ramon Manuel Nisperos, subject matter experts on monitoring, evaluation, and learning, served as resource persons and facilitators for the 2-day activity.
