Just Announced! Facilitation Skills for M&E Practitioners
At some point in their careers, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) practitioners will be placed in a position where they have to communicate M&E work to a group of people. This may be to project staff, policy makers and other stakeholders. Sometimes, the meeting will be comprised of people who are not fully versed with the technical M&E jargons, or to people who may not be receptive to the less-than-positive findings from an evaluation report. Likewise, the group may consist of people with diverse backgrounds and competing interests, yet their consensus is needed. This is where skills are needed to navigate the group (and power) dynamics to effectively facilitate a meeting that is engaging, elicits participation and produces tangible results. Facilitation Skills for M&E Practitioners covers: - The facilitation process
- Facilitation roles and responsibilities
- Various facilitation techniques, including when and how to use them for best effect
- Active Listening
- Group Dynamics
- Characteristics of Good Facilitation
- Energisers and Ice breakers
- Addressing difficult people situations
Our facilitator is Ann-Murray Brown, an independent consultant based in The Hague, The Netherlands. She has provided professional services to several international NGOs such as the UNDP, the World Food Programme (WFP) and the European Commission on programmes related to Migration, Governance, Child Protection, Poverty Reduction and Gender.
As a facilitator she delivers workshops in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) to strengthen organisational capacity and designs evaluation manuals.
