About This M&E Course

How will you measure your project’s success? This free online course will help you answer this question by introducing the basics of monitoring and evaluation (M&E). In this course, you will learn how successful projects plan for data collection, management, analysis, and use. As you complete the course assignments, you will create an M&E plan for your own project. Learners who complete this free online M&E course are eligible to receive a Certificate of Achievement through the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley Haas).

Who Should Take This M&E Course?

This free online course is designed for project implementers: people who work to make sure that projects succeed. This may include project managers, M&E specialists, researchers, or anybody who will collect, manage, analyze, or use data.

You will find this online monitoring and evaluation course most helpful if you have already begun designing a project. If you are still defining the problem that your project will address or deciding on activities, this course will be less helpful. However, we do offer a course that may be helpful for projects still defining their strategic approach: Essentials of Non-Profit Strategy.

You will need a device that allows you to watch videos, access course materials, and upload your assignments.
