Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 06:58:13 +0000

About this course
Development programmes working in inclusive economic growth need to understand the context they work in, monitor changes, and adapt their work accordingly. This sounds simple, yet challenging in practice. What should we be measuring? What is a ‘good enough’ measurement, and how do we attribute the change to our programme? And, hardest of all, how do you get decision-makers to change their minds?
DevLearn’s online training course answers these questions and more, using the DCED Standard for Results Measurement, a practical framework used by over a hundred programmes worldwide.

During this course, you will:

• Learn how to build a practical, adaptive results measurement system.
• Develop a theory of change showing the logic of an intervention, explore the assumptions that you make in intervention design, and articulate indicators.
• Understand how to select from different research techniques to measure these indicators, and attribute results to the programme.
• Have your questions answered online by the course facilitator and other experts working in results measurement.

About this course
Market systems development programmes support people living in poverty in increasing their income, gaining employment, and purchasing basic goods. The approach can achieve sustainable impact at scale but faces many practical challenges. For example, what sectors should you work in? Who should you partner with, and how? How can you learn from implementation and adapt your programme?

This DevLearn online training course will introduce the core concepts of market systems development and provide simple, practical tips to enable you to implement them in your context.

Our online training is cost-effective, interactive, and entertainingly delivered through videos, guided exercises, and group discussions. The course will take approximately four days to complete, but can be spread across multiple weeks and completed at any time that suits you.

Over one thousand people, including consultants, project managers, donors, and measurement specialists, have taken this DevLearn course and gained practical, effective skills in international development.

During this course, you will:

• Learn what a market systems approach is, and how it is different (and similar) to other approaches
• Understand how to analyse sectors and markets, and identify the most important challenges in each area.
• Find out how to develop interventions that are appropriate for the context. This includes developing a vision of success, partnering with appropriate actors, and negotiating deals.
• Learn how to manage interventions adaptively, gathering the most important information to help you and other market actors understand whether the intervention is working, and whether to change it.
• Understand concepts of scale and sustainability. If the pilot is successful, how can market actors take it to scale sustainably?

Coached Training: MEAL for Humanitarian and Development Professionals

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:42:29 +0000

Coached Training: MEAL for Humanitarian and Development Professionals

Most MEAL systems collect data and report upward. Few actually drive decisions. This course is for practitioners who want to understand how MEAL works in real programs — and build systems that learn, not just document.

This small group coached training equips you with practical tools to design MEAL systems that track progress, demonstrate results, and drive adaptive management. You'll develop data collection skills and create feedback mechanisms that ensure an integrated MEAL practice, leading to more responsive programming and decisions based on evidence.

In live sessions, you'll work directly with Neil Kendrick (25+ years experience) on your actual projects — ask questions, troubleshoot real challenges, and build frameworks you'll use immediately. Walk away with the confidence to lead MEAL without needing a dedicated specialist.

Program managers, coordinators, and M&E officers in NGOs, UN agencies, and local organizations who want to strengthen their MEAL practice — whether you're building systems from scratch or improving what you have.

MEAL Foundations and Monitoring

Understand the core principles of MEAL systems and master monitoring fundamentals. Learn to design indicators, develop monitoring frameworks, and establish data collection systems that track progress effectively and inform decision-making.

Evaluation Design and Implementation

Design and conduct meaningful evaluations that generate actionable insights. Develop evaluation questions, select appropriate methodologies, and create evaluation plans that assess impact, effectiveness, and sustainability of interventions.

Accountability in Practice

Build accountability mechanisms that strengthen stakeholder trust and program transparency. Learn to engage communities in feedback processes, establish complaint mechanisms, and ensure programs are responsive to beneficiary needs and concerns.

Learning and Adaptive Management

Transform data and insights into adaptive program improvements. Master techniques for facilitating learning sessions, documenting lessons learned, and creating knowledge management systems that drive continuous improvement and innovation.

Integration and Application

Synthesize all MEAL components into a cohesive system for your context. In the final session, we consolidate your learning through review and action planning. You then submit your assignment for personalized feedback.

This is a coached course combining self-study with small group live sessions. Group size is limited to 6 participants for maximum interaction and personalization.

Each week you work through structured video lessons, reflection tasks, and exercises applying concepts to your own project context (3–5 hours), then join a live Zoom session where we work through real challenges from your own context. Sessions are recorded, so if you can't attend live you can catch up before the next one.

Plus: MEAL Coach AI

You'll also have access to a dedicated AI learning companion that helps you design indicators, troubleshoot your MEAL frameworks, review your evaluation plans, and get feedback on your accountability mechanisms — available 24/7 throughout the course and beyond.

Harnessing NISAR: Next-Generation Radar Observations for Earth Applications

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:40:07 +0000

Offered in English AND Spanish!

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is becoming increasingly accessible through open datasets, including those from the newly launched NISAR mission. One of SAR’s main advantages is its ability to observe Earth's surface by day or night and under most weather conditions, making it especially valuable in persistently cloudy regions like the tropics or in high-latitude areas with long periods of darkness.

NISAR provides a wealth of data for both scientific research and practical applications, but it can be challenging for users to interpret and apply. This course is designed to help users understand the unique characteristics of NISAR data and learn how to access, visualize, and analyze them for various scientific and applied purposes.

This training consists of three sessions:

1. Introduction to the NISAR mission — covering its capabilities and data products, with a focus on amplitude data and its relevance for ecosystem monitoring. This session includes a demonstration of the use of NISAR data for flood detection and monitoring.
2. Data access and analysis tools — practical guidance on accessing, visualizing, and analyzing NISAR data by using resources available from Earthdata and the Alaska Satellite Facility, as well as ISRO's Bhoonidhi portal.
3. Interferometric SAR (InSAR) data — for identifying disaster risk areas and assessing damage following extreme events. The demonstration portion of this session focuses on one case study related to identifying areas at risk for landslides and another for assessing earthquakes.

Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Identify the characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of NISAR data.
• Recognize how NISAR data can be applied to decision-making related to flooding, agriculture, earthquakes, and landslides.
• Differentiate between the various NISAR data products and their applicability for different real-world use cases.
• Demonstrate how to access NISAR data and tools via the ASF DAAC platform to search, visualize, and analyze data for case studies related to floods, earthquakes, landslides, and agriculture.
• Generate a flood map, landslide risk map, and earthquake deformation map for an event of interest using provided Jupyter Notebooks and exporting them into a GIS framework (e.g. QGIS).
• Demonstrate how to access NISAR data via the ISRO Bhoonidhi platform, and use available tools for basic visualization and analysis.

Audience

• Remote sensing end users, geospatial analysts, academics, and students
• Managers from local, state, and federal government and NGOs
• Practitioners of remote sensing data

The complete course consists of three 2-hour sessions, with Session 1 offered on July 2, Session 2 on July 9, and Session 3 on July 16.

On each day, there are two opportunities to take the course (one in English, one in Spanish):

• English Session: 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. EDT (UTC-4): https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/trainings/harnessing-nisar-next-gener...
• Spanish Session: 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT (UTC-4): https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/es/learn/trainings/nisar-nuevas-observacion...

Each session will include a 30-minute live Q&A.

Project Cycle Management (PCM) - Online Certificate Course

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 02:44:36 +0000

Project Cycle Management (PCM) is the process of effectively planning and managing projects, programmes and organizations. It is used widely in the development and humanitarian sectors. Projects often times fail because they are badly planned and do not take into account some important factors, particularly the needs and views of stakeholders. PCM ensures that all aspects of projects are considered carefully especially at the formulation stage. A central value of the PCM method is that aspects of the project are reconsidered throughout the project cycle to ensure that any changes which have occurred are included in the project design. As a result, projects are more likely to be successful and sustainable.

PCM involves a set of planning tools which feed into the logical framework (commonly known as a log frame). The log frame is a matrix which gives a snapshot of the key elements of the project. Some donors require log frames to be submitted alongside project proposals. Log frames can seem quite complex to many people. Most organizations find it difficult to fundraise for their projects. This training will therefore, among other areas, serve to demonstrate the process of developing log frames and theories of change in order to increase the ability of development and humanitarian organizations to access such funding. The training will also furnish trainees with practical project management skills in all the key phases of a project.

By the end of the training, trainees will be able to understand how to manage the activities of a project throughout the identification, formulation, planning and implementation cycle.

Who should attend this training?

Programme staff of humanitarian and development agencies including project managers, officers and assistants.

What are the modules of the training?

• Introduction to Project Cycle Management (PCM);
• Key components of a project;
• Significant steps in project planning (needs assessment, problem analysis, objective setting and stakeholder analysis);

• Project Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan;
• Project Implementation plan (PIP);
• Project resource plan (PRP) and budgeting;
• Human resource management (HRM) in development and emergency projects;
• Sustainability mechanisms for development projects.

What are the main training objectives?

The following objectives will be achieved by the end of the training:

• To equip trainees with knowledge, skills and practices on project cycle management including programming, identification, formulation, financing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation;

Systemic Conflict Analysis

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 02:37:09 +0000

About this training

Analyzing conflicts helps to develop appropriate and structured measures to deal with them. Through applying systemic thinking, you can expand from linear frameworks to comprehend conflict dynamics in all their complexity. In this training course, you will learn how Systemic Conflict Analysis (SCA) works and how you can implement it effectively in your work.

Online Live Sessions: Thursdays, 29 October to 26 November 2026, 13:00-17:00 CET

Content

This five-week online training equips peace and development practitioners to conduct a Systemic Conflict Analysis (SCA) and translate it into conflict-sensitive entry points for strategic planning. Participants learn core systems concepts (boundaries, interactions, feedback loops, time delays, leverage points) and apply a step-by-step SCA workflow: scoping; actor/relationship mapping; identifying key dynamics; building and interpreting causal loop diagrams; exploring scenarios and limitations; and deriving entry points and monitoring signposts. Participants work on their own context (preferred) or a shared case and produce a usable SCA package (system map + short strategy memo). The training is hands-on and feedback-rich, combining live sessions with guided self-paced work between sessions.

Key Concepts

• Systems thinking for conflict transformation
• System boundaries & assumptions (boundary critique)Actors, relationships & multi-level dynamics
• Causal links (+/–), feedback loops (reinforcing/balancing) & time delays
• Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs)
• Reinforcing traps, balancing stabilisers & tipping points
• Leverage points & entry points
• Conflict sensitivity / Do No Harm (risks & mitigation)
• Monitoring signposts & early warning indicators
• Power, positionality & discrimination-sensitive analysis
• Ethics, confidentiality & safe dissemination

Learning objectives

By the end of the training, participants will have...

• Understood basic ideas of systems thinking and why they are useful for conflict transformation.
• Learned the main steps of conducting a Systemic Conflict Analysis and practiced applying them.
• Developed an SCA on their own context (or a shared case).
• Critically reflected on limits, challenges, ethics and safe dissemination of systemic conflict analysis.
• Derived first conflict-sensitive entry points and monitoring signposts to inform strategy and programme design.

Who can register for this training?

The training is designed for people in peacebuilding, conflict transformation, humanitarian response or development programming who already have basic knowledge of peace and conflict concepts and want a structured, hands-on approach to analysing conflict as a dynamic system. It is suitable for practitioners who want to strengthen their ability to translate analysis into strategic options, risk management and conflict-sensitive programming decisions.

Methodology

The training uses a participatory, experiential approach with short inputs, guided practice, peer exchange and reflection. Participants build a real SCA product step-by-step through weekly iterations, supported by structured peer review and focused trainer feedback. The facilitation is power- and discrimination-sensitive and includes clear safe-space agreements and options to work with a shared case if participants’ own contexts are sensitive.

Workload & Deliverables

Participants are expected to actively participate in at least 4 live sessions and complete short self-paced tasks between sessions. To successfully complete the training, participants submit three short products:

• Deliverable A (Week 1): Case framing note (1 page) incl. conflict question, boundary, assumptions and initial actor/relationship map
• Deliverable B (Week 2): System map package incl. refined actor/relationship map + 2–3 CLDs (with explanations)
• Deliverable C (Week 3): Strategy memo (2 pages) with leverage/entry points, Do No Harm risks/mitigation, and 6–8 monitoring signposts

The Humanitarian–Development–Peace Nexus and Conflict Sensitivity

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 02:36:22 +0000

About this training

Navigating the Humanitarian, Development, and Peace Nexus (HDP Nexus) means balancing different mandates, operational approaches, and ambitions while ensuring your work Does No Harm to actively contributing to peace and social cohesion. This course equips participants with the practical tools and frameworks to do both: applying a conflict-sensitive lens across all pillars of the Nexus and identifying concrete entry points to strengthen the "P" of the Nexus in practice.
Throughout the course, participants apply their learning directly to their past or current contexts they have worked in.

Online Live Sessions: 19 October to 30 November 2026, every Monday from 13:00 to 15:00 CEST/CET

Content

Practitioners working in fragile and conflict-affected contexts increasingly recognise that humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding interventions can unintentionally reinforce conflict dynamics if they are not, as a minimum requirement, designed and implemented to Do No Harm, applying a conflict-sensitive lens. At the same time, within the HDP Nexus approach, collaboration across the 3 pillars and sectors requires navigating different mandates and operational approaches, while also asking how interventions can Do More Good: by strengthening exisiting or potential local capacities to address underlying drivers of conflict and long-standing grievances, strengthening social cohesion, improving trust between individuals, populations, communities and institutions, and contributing to pathways towards sustainable peace.

This course addresses this gap by introducing a dual lens:

• Working IN conflict: applying conflict sensitivity and Do No Harm to ensure interventions do not exacerbate tensions, exclusion, or conflict dynamics.
• Working ON conflict: moving beyond Do No Harm toward Do More Good by identifying practical entry points for adapting humanitarian and development action, and collaboration along each of the Nexus pillars.

Participants will gain hands-on, practical tools to analyse conflict dynamics, strengthen programme design, and identify Nexus-supportive collaboration opportunities in their own contexts that reinforce resilience, social cohesion, as well as sustainable outcomes. Furthermore, they will critically reflect on how mandates, positionality and power dynamics shape project decisions, collaboration and understandings of peace.

Key concepts

• Conflict Sensitivity / Do No Harm
• Do More Good / Peace-responsive action
• Working IN Conflict vs Working ON Conflict
• External vs Internal Conflict Sensitivity
• Humanitarian–Development–Peace (HDP) Nexus
• Capacities for Peace
• Resilience and Social cohesion: horizontal and vertical
• Nexus-supportive collaboration

Learning objectives

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• understand the mandates, rationales and operational approaches in the HDP Nexus and how humanitarian, development, and peace actors each can contribute to sustainable peace.
• conduct the basic elements of a conflict and peace analysis and reflect on considerations for a joined-up and collaborative analysis and planning process;
• apply a conflict-sensitive Do-No-Harm lens to programme design and planning, monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) processes, identifying risks that may reinforce conflict dynamics and adapting interventions toward peace-responsive, socially cohesive goals that contribute to collective outcomes;
• identify practical entry points for Nexus-supportive collaboration across humanitarian, development, and peace actors and for strengthening the peace dimension within the Nexus.

Who can register for this training?

The training is designed for:

• Practitioners working in humanitarian, development, or peacebuilding contexts
• Programme managers, advisors, and technical specialists
• Staff working in fragile and conflict-affected settings
• Individuals seeking to strengthen their ability to integrate conflict sensitivity and peace-responsive approaches into their work

Methodology

The training uses a participatory and experiential learning approach, combining short conceptual inputs with interactive discussions, group exercises, scenario-based learning, and peer exchange.
Participants work throughout the course on their own real-life programme or operational context, applying tools and frameworks step-by-step to ensure practical relevance and immediate applicability.

Workload & Deliverables

To successfully complete the training, participants are expected to:

• Actively participate in at least five of the seven live sessions
• Complete a personal reflection on whether their work focuses on Do No Harm or also Do More Good.
• Conduct elements of conflict and peace scan of their chosen context.
• Carry out a conflict-sensitivity audit scan, covering both internal and external dimensions.
• Identify a Nexus-supportive collaboration opportunity and a peace-responsive entry point.
• Contribute to a group capstone presentation, podcast-style or similar.

After a successful participation, participants receive a certificate and become part of our alumni network.

Peacebuilding in an Age of Permanent Crisis

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 02:33:57 +0000

About this training

This training offers guided exchange on what it means to live, organize, protect or build peace in a world shaped by continuous crisis, violence, uncertainty, and institutional fragility. Through participatory reflection and collaborative learning, participants will examine how communities (re)build and sustain trust, dignity and solidarity amid ongoing disruption. Together, we will reflect on resilience, care, hope, resistance, and the practical possibilities for peace protection and building when instability is no longer temporary, but permanent.

Methodologically, the training draws inspiration from the approaches used in the MIRamiDA Peacebuilding Trainings, one of the oldest living programs of this type in Europe, that was born in the destroyed and divided town of Pakrac in Croatia in 1995.

Content

This training explores peacebuilding in a time marked by overlapping and continuous threats: wars, authoritarianism, environmental collapse, misuse of advanced technologies, shrinking civic spaces, economic insecurity, polarization, and the normalization of violence. It explores what happens to individuals, communities, and societies when instability becomes permanent rather than temporary.

Through participatory and experiential learning, participants will reflect on the different forms of implicit and explicit violence shaping the present, examine how trust and social cohesion erode under prolonged insecurity, and explore how communities organize, resist, care, and survive when institutions fail. The training will engage questions of nonviolent action, grassroots organizing, dialogue, solidarity, gendered impacts of crisis, militarization, burnout, and sustaining hope.

Participants will reflect on their own role, responsibility, and agency within these realities: how to act ethically and effectively without contributing to further escalation, how to build authentic relationships and collective resilience, and how to imagine and practice forms of positive and nonviolent peace under conditions of ongoing disruption.

Community is not (only) somewhere else, it is going to be present during a week together at the Academy. Through the trainers' approach, variety of tasks, storytelling, exchanges and exercises, a new peacebuilding community is about to emerge out of this training. MIRamiDA's originated by empowering devastated post war communities at Balkans in 1990s to take over responsibility for their present and future. Nonviolent communication and Conflict Transformation were a start, but exercising Cooperation and Trust was a path toward Dealing with Past, prerequisite of violent free future. This training is going to be tailored according to needs and interests of participants, as common group effort of preparation for unstable and unknown times ahead of us all.

Key Concepts

• Role of personal in peacebuilding, authenticity (Lederach)
• Peacebuilding (and Peace work in generally) as Relationship building and Cooperation (Curle, Schirch)
• Differentiating influential concepts: Trust vs Security, Solidarity vs Aid, Dialogue vs Debate
• Understanding threats - caring for life on planet
• Mental health protection & Art as neglected key allies

Learning Objectives

By the end of the training, participants will have:

• Deepened their understanding of how continuous crisis, violence, and institutional fragility affect communities, and peacebuilding processes
• Reflected critically on trust, solidarity, resilience, and nonviolent action under conditions of prolonged instability
• Explored practical and community-based approaches to organizing, dialogue, and sustaining social cohesion during repeated shocks and uncertainty
• Reflected on their own agency, responsibility, limits, and possibilities for ethical action and collective care in times of ongoing disruption

Who can register for the training?

The training is designed for people who feel concerned, troubled, (sometimes) helpless in times described as collapse of international order (which aimed to be) based on respecting Universal declaration of Human Rights. It is for people dedicated to preserve peace (positive, sustainable, for all) where it exists and build it in areas affected by gross violence.

We invite practitioners, teachers, activists, security forces personnel, religious leaders, journalists, politicians and all others whose interest / area of responsibility includes prosperity and safety on communal and societal level.

Prerequisite is willingness for participative, experiential, interactive methodology. Basic peace skills are active listening and asking questions so we encourage people interested to strengthen these qualities to apply.

Training may significantly serve the needs of people working with other people in sensitive, conflicting, (post)traumatic environments and ones interested to learn how to recognize and prevent any forms of violence.

Methodology

The training is interactive (we communicate, work with each other), participatory (everyone is active) and experiential (learning from our experiences). There will be individual work, pairs, groups of three and bigger ones as well as plenary. In these settings we will use creative problem solving, dialogue, presentations, storytelling, art and silence in our work.

We aim to co-create a safe and space where participants feel free to share their perspectives without fear of judgment. Different opinions are welcomed and encouraged, always with mutual respect. We work inside and outside of workshop room. Lecturing and complicated models are not part of the training.

Participants will be invited to contribute in particular sessions according to their expertise.

Each day finishes with one hour in fixed self-facilitated reflection groups. There will be free spaces to reflect on the day, the ongoing process, the group dynamics, on ourselves and for sharing more personal stories so we can get deeper.
