About the event

This interactive two-day workshop is designed to empower the Public Finance Academy (PFA) to take full ownership of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of its trainers. This event will help position the PFA Academy as the forefront facilitator of knowledge sharing among public officials by providing them and know-how on co-designing tools, observation and feedback techniques, and developing a concrete action plan for improvement. Through hands-on exercises, role-plays, and collaborative design sessions, participants will strengthen their ability to assess trainer performance, use digital tools for evidence-based evaluation, and ensure that M&E becomes an integral, sustainable part of PFA’s own institutional practice.

What will you learn

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the purpose, principles, and tools of M&E in the PFA context and especially the M&E of trainers (evaluation forms, observation, self-assessment, peer review).
• Co-create and map a practical framework of roles, responsibilities, and cycles for trainer M&E ensuring clarity on who collects what, when, and how.
• Apply hands-on skills in observation, feedback, and other forms of trainer evaluation.
• Develop ownership by aligning M&E instruments with PFA’s values, trainer competency framework, and strategic goals.
• Produce a draft M&E Action Plan that PFA staff can pilot and refine after the workshop.

Who should attend

Participation at this event is intended for officials involved in the implementation of the training activities through the Public Finance Academy and Ministry of Finance of the Republic of North Macedonia.
