Background

USAID-Mali’s health team is embarking on an update of its monitoring and evaluation system, including planning, internal data management and quality assurance, and external data collection. The current PMP (Project Monitoring Plan) was finalized in 2009. However, the PMP and the M&E system as a whole need to be updated to reflect current practice and new USAID requirements. The system has not developed to a point where it provides sufficient timely and relevant information to program managers for decision-making, and the indicators do not adequately capture performance information as needed for the Global Health Initiative and Feed the Future presidential initiatives.

Training Objectives

To provide 3-day training in French to USAID/Mali Health Team on 1) the fundamentals of monitoring and evaluation, 2) a review of USAID required monitoring and evaluation policies, procedures, and reporting, in preparation for an update of the Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) and internal M&E.
