About this learning event

This event is part of a CEF Training of Trainers (ToT) on Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of projects funded through the EU’s Instrument for Pre‑accession Assistance (IPA) III, aimed at strengthening the M&E capacities of relevant stakeholders. As IPA III increasingly emphasizes performance‑based management and institutional strengthening, this program builds the skills needed for effective monitoring and reporting. 

Designed by the CEF as a connected learning journey, the program includes an introductory session followed by three in‑person modules with online follow‑ups. Together, these activities equip participants with essential M&E knowledge, practical monitoring skills, and the ability to design and deliver impactful internal trainings within their institutions. 

Module 3 equips participants to turn monitoring findings into meaningful institutional action through well‑designed, impactful training sessions. It emphasizes facilitation techniques, curriculum development, and mentoring skills essential for high‑quality in‑house capacity building. Participants will also strengthen their confidence, peer‑learning networks, and action planning for future IPA III M&E trainings. The concluding online wrap‑up will help consolidate competencies and close the learning journey.
