This training will present a practical guide for using a geographic information system (GIS) integrated with Monitoring and Evaluation.The five days training is aimed at helping development partners to monitor and evaluate the activities of specific projects intended to support M&E systems for sustainable programs and projects. The use of GIS in monitoring and Evaluation improves the effectiveness and communications of results to management, funding partners, and beneficiaries.The integration of GIS in monitoring and Evaluation makes it possible to link, or integrate information that is difficult to associate through any other means. With GIS M&E/Researchers are able to use combinations of mapped variables to build and analyze new variables. Presenting data in the form of a map helps to understand the significance of where, when, and by whom. By using the GIS to link data from multiple programs the training will make it possible to understand the individual programs better but also better understand the relationship between the programs. Spatial analysis techniques will also help with driving outcomes measures.WHO SHOULD ATTEND?The course is designed for representatives from government, project teams, NGOs, multi and bilateral development organizations, consultancies, etc, that are typically employed as project managers and directors, M&E specialists, technical specialists, and researchers.DURATION5 daysCOURSE OBJECTIVESThe training will enable participants to;Understand Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) SystemsUnderstand key concepts in M&E and GISLearn how to developing an M&E-GIS SystemLearn about the working of M&E information management systemsLearn how to collect data using mobile phones and GPSLearn how to integrate existing M&E data with GISLearn how to analyze and visualize M&E data with the aid of GIS techniquesLearn how to integrate GIS into M&E activitiesTOPICS TO BE COVEREDSection one: An Overview of GIS and Monitoring and EvaluationIntroduction to M&EKey components of M&EBasic GIS ConceptsGIS Software; the General OverviewOpen Source GIS SoftwareSection 2: New technologies being adopted in project M&EMobile phones in M&EGPS devices and M&EParticipatory videos for M&ESupporting bottom-up learningMaking real-time M&E a reality through ICTExamples of M&E systems incorporating GISSection 3: The GIS InterfaceThe QGIS InterfaceAdding Vector DataExploring the Map ViewExploring FeaturesAdding Raster DataSaving Your ProjectSection 4: Geographic Analysis of M&E dataCreating New Project from Existing OneGeoprocessing ShapefilesJoining and Mapping Attribute DataPlotting Coordinate DataRunning Statistics and Querying AttributesDrawing Buffers and Making SelectionsScreen CapturesSection 5: Thematic Mapping of M&E dataTransforming Map ProjectionsMore GeoprocessingCreating Calculated FieldsClassifying and Symbolizing DataDesigning MapsAdding LabelsGeneral NotesAll our courses can be Tailor-made to participants needsThe participant must be conversant with EnglishPresentations are well guided, practical exercise, web based tutorials and group work.
