Grayson Consulting Invites You/Colleagues to Our Workshop on Monitoring & Evaluation: Monitoring and Evaluation is fast becoming critical in today's businesses and organizations. The increased demand for accountability, performance management and creation of credible feedback mechanisms on projects and work assignments creates the need for team leaders, managers and program officers to develop competencies around designing, tracking and reporting on projects. M&E provides a basis for accountability in the use of development resources. M&E helps to strengthen project design and implementation and stimulate partnership with all stakeholders.
