Growth through e-Learning

AIM: Addressing barriers to effective M&E Systems

After working for more than a decade within the field of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Insideout has collaborated with IT experts to form eThamini. eThamini aim to address some common barriers to effective monitoring practice faced by many development organizations and government departments. These include, among others:

• M&E is seen as an anxiety-provoking burden believed to police staff/organizations;


• Limited M&E skills within organizations:
  • Few training opportunities for all staff responsible for M&E due to the high cost of M&E training workshops;
  
  
  • High staff turnover resulting in M&E skills gaps which cannot immediately be filled;


• Uncoordinated, cumbersome documenting and reporting systems which result in poor tracking and reporting on progress;


• Limited opportunities for mentoring and support to those responsible for M&E.
