[Music] [Music] hi guys welcome to monitoring and evaluation made simple i'm your host coach alexander i'm so happy you're here with me today because in this video i'm going to be posting sharing with you 13 short monitoring and evaluation trainings that you should enroll in in 2020 okay so if you're here for the very first time please do well to subscribe to this channel because on a regular basis i post videos so for those of you who don't know me i've already told you that i'm coach alexander and i've been in this field for 10 years now i've enjoyed every moment of monitoring and evaluation because you know m and e is very white guys it's very white so i want you to understand that what i'm going to show to you is a list but in that list it has taken 10 years to produce i mean to get the experience that will give you the knowledge technical expertise found in these courses so as usual in most of my videos especially the longer ones i have time stamps and these timestamps are there to help you navigate the video in a very effective manner so if you want to skip certain parts of the video and you want to go straight to the part that is interesting to you you just click the time stamp and it will take you right to the part of this video that you want to watch and learn so what are the top 13 courses in monitoring and evaluation all of these are hosted on udemy that's something i want to keep i want you to keep in mind so the first course the most highly rated course and this i have to tell you guys it's the fundamentals of social impact it's rated 4.9 out of 5 on udemy i've put all the links to these courses in the description below so now what this course actually talks about is you know in society there are so many things that can affect what we do and what happens in one part of the world can have a positive or negative impact in another part of the world and we've seen this even with the kovit 19 pandemic one part of the world i mean let's say it started in one part of the world but it's now gone global so what this is just helping us understand this training is just helping us put things into perspective even as we implement m and e activities we need to put this into perspective and we need to fully understand that what we are measuring could not perhaps be linked to the project but there could be other factors so this has been highly rated guys i want you to enroll in this course if you have the time to because it's a very good course or you can simply share it with one of your friends who you interact with on a regular basis now the second cost another favorite course of mine is the key performance indicators in project management this has a rating of 4.7 out of five it's a very good course guys and i want to tell you these courses which are highly rated like this there's something about them that people like and i get this feedback a lot is the way it has really helped enrich their understanding on monitoring and evaluation so key performance indicators really guys is the heart of everything we do when we do m and d activities we simply need to understand what it is we are measuring so this course helps us understand not a not only what key performance indicators are but it also helps you understand how to develop them and it gives you an in-depth understanding of how to use the problem and solution tree to come up with these indicators so i would urge you guys to enroll in this course it's a very good course i've received so much positive feedback from a lot of people around the world because every month i'm training people in monitoring and evaluation the third course which is a very i mean i must say it's also a personal favorite of mine it is impact evaluation in project management you see guys every time a project is being implemented you have to keep this in mind at some point that project is going to come to an end now at the point that it comes to an end you have to determine whether this project actually has had any significant change on the project beneficiaries or it may not just be the beneficiary beneficiaries what has it really contributed to in our own personal lives so this impact evaluation course actually trains you on how to conduct an impact study what tools to develop when to develop them how to collect the data how to do the analysis how to do the report writing this is a personal favorite course of mine guys and i would like you as usual to enroll in this course if you have the time and resources to do so because it's one of the most important things that every monitoring and evaluation officer should have handy okay so let's go to let's go to the next one what is the next course one of the top rated courses that you should enroll in in 2020 this is by far my personal personal favorite okay i know i have been saying personal favorite on the preceding courses but guys let me tell you this is my own personal favorite because it was the first ever course i ever produced on udemy and this is the project monitoring and evaluation course for beginners now when i was producing this course it was my first straw in a very very beautiful place i would call you know i'll call home because i was just starting out as an md specialist online i had recently i had actually launched already the m d simple made simple youtube channel so that's when i started thinking of innovative ways to get the word out to offer education to many of my friends and fellow colleagues so this is a very good course guys it helps you at beginners level and it's it's you you kind of find you kind of find it different from these recent courses that i've done because in terms of quality it may not be like picture perfect like the videos i'm doing today but this has so much rich history it tells not just about the whole m and e process but also a bit about me as coach alexander because this is where it all began and this is a course i would like you to enroll in people have rated it highly it's 4.2 out of five so please support me support the mnd made simple channel and enroll in this course as well so what is the cost coming out on number five how to write an effective research paper i recently launched this course in 2020 and i have to tell you that it's a very important course because much of what we do as m d specialist much of what we do is to write reports so now there's this debate sometimes it's very hard to see the distinction between m and e and research but i want to tell you this from experience that they are very similar and if anything if you are going to produce an mnd report to academicians like lecturers professors or even the general public they would want you to be really thorough on how you communicate findings so this course is just helping you understand how best should you effectively communicate findings of an m and d intervention but it's more aligned to research and there's no harm in taking some of the points that are coming out in this course in your own monitoring and evaluation career so i'd urge you to enroll in this course because it's also been highly rated i wouldn't say it's my personal favorite because i wasn't really into uh you know research although i do enjoy research but you know because it's such a lengthy process sometimes it can put me off but it's a very important process and that urge you please to enroll in this course when you have the time and energy to do so coming out at number five i mean number six is the m d written test questions and answers this has been rated highly on udemy i released this course on in 2020 it's not actually a course per se but it's more of a practice test okay when you go on udemy there are certain types there are certain courses that are like courses where you you watch and get instructed by an instructor by a presenter you'll be getting knowledge watching videos but then there are those courses where it's not really a course but you're simply enrolling in order to practice to sharpen your skills on some of the test questions that may come in at a certain point in a certain subject okay so this is what it is and the good thing is that it has answers when you when you do these practice tests you can perfect your skills and then it will also immediately give you how much you've scored out of the answers you've given for that particular test so i'd also urge you to enroll if especially if you are doing some kind of academic exams at a university at a college or even at an institute so please find time to practice sharpen your skills by enrolling in this course because it's also been highly rated it's been given a score of 4 out of 5. and here is another course which i released this year and this is the project mnd for professionals now when you look at the rating it's three point eight eight out of five now to tell you the truth i know exactly why that rating is like that but i can tell you this is in my view a very highly rating rated cost and i know why it's like that because you know it can get really complicated because you know this course isn't that it's not a beginner's level course but it is for professionals and you know how material for professionals is it it can be kind of complicated and it can be kind of you know you have to use a lot of thinking and i think it's because of all that thinking that some of my students were not happy but for you who wants to do who's a think tank and i'd like to interact with people who are think tanks please enroll in this course and you're going to get the maximum benefit from learning how as a monitoring and evaluation professional how should you handle yourself professionally what tools advanced level tools can you use to build the best systems that projects really desire okay so please find time to also enroll in this course then another course this hasn't yet been rated and the reason is that i haven't received so many students but i've put it at number eight because it is very important this is the introduction to econometrics well econometrics guys is usually aligned to people who are in who are economists but let me tell you one thing in project implementation especially if especially at the planning stage of a project you have all these indicators okay but then how do you set the targets the best way to do target a target setting is by using a methodology called forecasting now forecasting is not as easy as they may say at maybe at seniors high school you know because at university level this is what we are calling actually the econometrics okay so i don't want to make you get confused here but all i'm saying is that this is a very important course for any m d professional because you are going to be part of the planning team and how are you going to be well suited enough to make projections okay especially when you are trying to set targets for indicators that your project is trying to achieve okay so this is a very important course be one of the few to enroll in it i don't foresee many enrolling in it but i want you to enjoy in it so that you can derive the maximum benefit and become an m d professional that only the world really desires another important course which has not been rated yet is the workshop facilitation cost in project management you know as a monitoring and evaluation officer it is really important that yeah you have very excellent workshop facilitation skills because what what usually happens is that if you are a person who is required to offer capacity building in monitoring and evaluation the best way you can do that is if you have great excellent facilitation skills so now this is why i created this course guys because imagine you need to facilitate a workshop and you are offering capacity building in monitoring and evaluation i can tell you you may have the best material in the world but if you are not good with the facilitation nobody is going to appreciate that content so this is what this course is all about so please ensure to enroll in this course if you have the money if you have the and it's only and you know the funny thing is that it's not even expensive it's only about 10 11 dollars that's how udemy is so guys please take advantage of this opportunity another good course which hasn't been rated yet but which i can tell you guys is a very important course is the logical framework approach so what is the log frame you know i've produced videos on what the log frame is you go to my channel it will show you what the log frame is but i'll tell you that the logical framework is the heart of m and e because without that um framework we we as m d professionals we will never know what we are actually monitoring and evaluating it is without without this lfa we can't even come up with an m and d framework and you know what that means because at the end of the day if we don't have either a monitoring framework or an evaluation framework we can't do any mnd so this course is giving you the methodology it's giving you how you can use the use this methodology to enrich your project planning and ultimately once you are involved in the planning process you become a better m d professional to that organization you offer higher you offer 100 value for money which every organization wants to see in their stuff so please find time to enroll in this course this is by far the most important course out of all the courses i've created i released this course just a few weeks ago and it is very rich it hasn't been rated yet because it's relatively new i've only received one student so far but it is going to be a big course a very important course how to develop an mnd system you see guys whatever you do wherever you are the thing is that you may be preaching about mrt you may be you know going to your managers going to your coordinators telling them how m d is important but ultimately they are going to ask you where is the system to implement mnd activities and this is what we are talking about in this course how do you develop certain such a system i've seen many systems around the world i mean i do a lot of reading but i've also been involved in these systems some people think it's a web-based system of course it could be a web-based system but is that what we are really talking about we are talking about tools we are talking about methods personnel budgets all those things are what make up the mnd system i have videos for free on my youtube channel that talks briefly about a monitoring and evaluation system but this course gives you things in such greater detail it's the longest course i've developed on udemy and it's also the most expensive but you're going to realize that on udemy even if this course is valued at 99 you are going to be getting it at 12 13 at a huge discount guys so take advantage of these discounts by by referring to the link in the description here is another course which i would want you to enroll in is how to conduct a baseline survey be the first to rate this course by enrolling in it it's a very good course and i know this because i shared it with one of my friends and they think it's a good course so you have to enroll in it if you have that time or the energy it talks about how to conduct a baseline survey so what exactly is a baseline survey well every time you're implementing a project you have indicators that you want to measure but how are you going to measure them all right you're going to definitely use tools okay you collect the data analyze and report but the thing is that even if you do all that ultimately you want to know how things were before the project was implemented okay so in short what am i saying here a baseline is simply establishing the benchmarks to the indicators of a project so this is a very important course it teaches you the methodology it teaches you step by step how you should conduct a project baseline then finally the 13th m d course that you should enroll in in 2020 is how to design a survey so there are different types of surveys okay but this is very important especially because you know m and e is more about data collection analysis and reporting and when you are doing all these things you are doing them in relation to what is found in the log frame okay because our our interest is the indicators that is where our interest lies so when we do these surveys we could be doing a baseline survey we could be doing a midterm evaluation an end term evaluation our area of interest are the indicators so now to actually get the information you need to do a properly designed survey now how do you do the design this is what this course tells you so you can see guys all these courses in 2020 are very important for any m d professional around the around the globe they are very affordable okay like i mentioned prices range between 10 to 13 dollars you won't be losing much you have a wealth of knowledge and you have that knowledge within a short period of time so i want to thank you so much for watching this this video please go to the description look at the links to these
