Where a monitoring and evaluation officer can go next

4 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a monitoring and evaluation officer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Monitoring and evaluation officers are responsible for the conceptualisation, design, implementation and follow-up of the monitoring and evaluation activities of projects, programmes, policies, strategies, institutions or processes, along the relevant programming cycle. They develop monitoring, inspection and evaluation methods and instruments needed to collect and analyse data, and report on results by applying structured M&E frameworks, theories, approaches and methodologies. M&E officers inform decision-making through reporting, learning products or activities and knowledge management. They can also engage in capacity development activities by providing training and capacity building support within their organizations or for clients and partners.
