Lectures in Project Monitoring & Evaluation for Professional Practitioners is a lecture-based text book written based on experience lecturing and consulting in the area of Project Monitoring & Evaluation. University lecturers and students as well as professional practitioners in the area of monitoring and evaluation will find this book very useful given its rich inclusion of illustrations and practical exercises. Despite the fact that Project Monitoring and Evaluation is a mature practice, there are very few textbooks that have been written to bring together its theories, models, frameworks and the wider practice. This book is therefore one of a kind, meant to provide a one stop reference guide to lecturers, students and practitioners. Because Monitoring and Evaluation derives from Project Management, this book draws heavily from the PMI's PMBOK® Guide and the PRINCE2® Methodology.
