SUMMARY:Project Management and Risk Awareness & MEAL Framework: Monitoring\, Evaluation\, Accountability\, and Learning
DESCRIPTION:GM.1. From Needs to Solutions – Project Management and Risk Awareness  \nMany (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. \nObjectives: \n\nProject/proposal design with the help of problem / objective tree.\nLog Frame as a major design\, implementation\, monitoring\, and evaluation tool.\nBudgeting and planning of monitoring and evaluation of a project.\nBasic project risk management as an integral part of project management.\n\nGM.4. MEAL: Measuring Impact\, Driving Change \nMonitoring 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. The more one gets into the topic\, the more complex it appears and the more overwhelmed and confused one becomes. Therefore\, HDFF\, with its experience in M.E.A.L. as impact evaluators\, designed an easy-to-understand 4 days MEAL course focusing on core tools and experience. \nObjectives: \n\nTo increase understanding of the essence of MEAL.\nTo apply practical MEAL tools (Log Frame & indicators).\nTo help participants understand the learning process going along with M.E.A.L.\n\nRegistration Details \nRegular Fees: $1060 USD \nEarly Bird: $890 USD (Only until 24 February)

SUMMARY:GM1 & GM5 : Result Based Project Management (RBPM) and Monitoring\, Evaluation\, and Accountability Learning (MEAL) Trainings
DESCRIPTION:GM.1. RBPM : 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 LogFrames and budgets and have a basic idea of Monitoring\, Evaluation and Accountability 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 LogFrame\, thus improving the quality of proposals and\, subsequently\, the project implementation. This four-day workshop designed by HDFF seeks to build a strong understanding of the intertwined skills needed for safe project management using realistic scenario-based situations. \nObjectives: \n\nProject/proposal design with the help of problem/objective tree.\nLogFrame as major design\, implementing\, monitoring and evaluation tool.\nBudgeting and planning of monitoring and evaluation of a project.\nBasic project risk management as integral part of project management.\n\nGM.5. MEAL : 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. The more one gets into the topic\, the more complex it appears and the more overwhelmed and confused one becomes. Therefore\, HDFF\, with its experience in M.E.A.L as impact evaluators\, designed an easy-to- understand 4.5 days MEAL course focusing on core tools and experience. \nObjectives: \n\nTo help participants understand leadership basics.\nTo increase understanding of the essence of MEAL.\nTo apply practical MEAL tools (LogFrame & indicators).\nTo help participants understand the learning process going along with M.E.A.L.\n\nDates: 09-13 June 2025 (Deadline : June 2nd 2025) \nLocation: Bangkok\, Thailand \nCost:    \nRegular Price $1.150 USD           \nEarly Bird $980 USD (until May 26 2025) \nIncluded in the fee: Lunch\, Coffee breaks\, training materials\, certificates.
