Advanced M&E and Data Management for Humanitarian Organizations

In humanitarian programs, monitoring and evaluation serve a variety of functions, but some of the most important is to ensure that humanitarian interventions are relevant and inclusive of all affected populations, to measure the outputs and outcomes of humanitarian interventions against a meaningful and manageable set of quantitative and qualitative indicators and/or questions, and to comprehend the broader effects of assistance and support.
