Donors and governments increasingly fund programmes that can prove their impact. That puts strong monitoring and evaluation skills at the centre of every project team.
Results-based management
Teams need to design clear theories of change, logical frameworks and indicators that link activities to outcomes.
Data collection and analysis
Mobile data collection, and tools such as Stata, SPSS, R and Power BI, are now standard expectations.
Learning and adaptation
The best teams use evidence to adjust programmes as they go, not just to report at the end.
