Participatory Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation.
The training will be conducted by using various methods such as lectures, demonstration, brainstorm, role play, small group assignments, workshop, small group presentation, energisers, etc. All possible methods for PPME will be used in this course in such a way that facilitators learn how to use them in them in their own working areas.
Participants
A maximum of 20 participants who are expected to have experience as a front line worker will participate in this course.
Tentative Contents:
The course will include different aspects of participatory planning, monitoring and evaluation. There will be ample opportunity for practice and hands on experience. The tentative content is as follows:
First Day
- Philosophy of participation
- Facilitation for PPME ( ORID, Workshop, Facilitation Skills )
Focused Conservation Method (ORID) allows group members to reflect on an event or commonly shared experience. It helps group members in sharing individual observations, feeling and ideas and in this way to reach a shared awareness as a basis for a group response.
Second Day
- Participatory Planning Cycle
- Vision based Planning
This method is a tool for a structured planning for the longer term. It takes the group through a process of building a shared vision for the future looking at issues that are challenging the group and identifying strategic directions for tackling these issues. As an end result of this planning process, the group will be divided into task forces with each a shorter-term planning, heading towards the identified long-term goals.
This tool will provide a group with a clear framework of where they are heading towards collaboratively. It helps them to make strategic decisions and to translate these into a practical implementation plan.

Fourth Day
- Participatory M&E: Intro
In every project, monitoring and evaluation play an essential role. Proper monitoring during the implementation of an activity or project is essential, in order to be able to see whether the project is still on tract towards the set objective and whether adaptations should be made. However, monitoring can be very powerful tool, not for improving the implementation of a project, but also as learning and empowering activity for project staff and project beneficiaries in itself. In participatory monitoring, the beneficiaries themselves monitor the project on the basis of indicators that they themselves find important. Participatory evaluation is a powerful tool realistically looking at the results and value of what has been done, as well for creating team sprit and motivation a group to continue working collaboratively in future.
