Monitoring and Evaluation

Case Study
Setting Up Training Feedback Loops: Bangladesh Public Procurement Reform Project Monitoring and evaluation was successfully used in the Bangladesh Public Procurement Reform Project to improve training.

Monitoring and evaluation of training are an important element of the training management process. They are particularly important in long-term training programs where feedback from former training participants can be used to shape future course content.

Training can be evaluated in two ways: by looking at the results of training, or by looking at the training management process.

Evaluation of Training Results	Process Evaluation of Training

The IEG evaluation of Using Training for Capacity Building used a three-tier model for evaluating training. Training was evaluated by looking not only at the results of training, and the process by which training was managed, but also by examining the validity of bridging assumptions that would be needed to get from one link in the results chain to the next.
