This course aimed at Administrators and Managers will look at how to gather information easily and effectively so that it can be used for the purposes of providing evidence to funders or perhaps assisting future funding applications. Monitoring and evaluation does not have to be a tiresome and difficult task! It will cover ways of collecting and storing information, the legal issues, software that can be used at minimum or at no cost, on-line survey tools versus paper ones and new media methods of communication. Lastly it will look at how the final information can be presented and the importance of training other staff in gathering the right data.
