PROJECT MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING (MEL)

ITOCA provides advisory and training services in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) on ICT and related programs. The need for M&E is found in every organisation and company to ensure that your work, projects and products are well maintained and all set goals, indicators and milestones are not only achieved but also monitored and measured. The need to show that an organisation is making a difference or that a company is running efficiently making profit calls for proper M&E.

ITOCA continues to explore the most comprehensive M&E methodologies and tools. We also include participatory evaluations in our work. The M&E work we do includes international, regional and small projects and organisations. We also run several professional tailored M&E training courses throughout the year, in house and onsite. The curricula are designed to meet and suit the client’s’ needs.
