GM.1. From Needs to Solutions – Project Management and Risk Awareness (4 days)
Many (national) organizations that rely on donors for financial support to maintain, expand, and create programs must be able to write strong proposals, design needs-based projects, draft Log Frames and budgets and have a basic idea of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL). On top of that, a basic project risk assessment is crucial for any kind of project implementation as it helps in writing substantial assumptions in the Log Frame, thus improving the quality of proposals and, subsequently, the project implementation. This HDFF designed workshop seeks to build a strong understanding of the intertwined skills needed for safe project management using realistic scenario-based situations. Objectives:- Project/proposal design with the help of problem / objective tree
- Log Frame as a major design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation tool
- Budgeting and planning of monitoring and evaluation of a project
- Basic project risk management as an integral part of project management

GM.4. MEAL: Measuring Impact, Driving Change (4 days)
Monitoring should be considered as an attitude that underpins everything we do. In Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning, one can get lost in forests of sophisticated Excel tables and endless data collection tools, and nearly drown in oceans of monitoring books treating it as a separate and sophisticated science.

Objectives:- To increase understanding of the essence of MEAL.
