About the webinar
This Webinar is the first of the two sessions on the topic of “Evidence based decision making for M&E professionals and Program Managers working in humanitarian or development operations”. It is a one-hour session ideal for Monitoring and Evaluation professionals or Program Managers who are interested in learning more about the importance of reliable and quality evidence in the humanitarian or development sector and a useful introduction to the second part of the series “Best practices for use of evidence for M&E professionals and Program Managers” which will take place on October 20th, 2022.
During this session, we will discuss:
- Why does evidence matter?
- What is evidence for the humanitarian and development sector?
- Why does the quality of evidence matter and how can we determine the quality?
- Why producing high quality evidence can be challenging?
- Is evidence being used to guide decision-making?
- How can quality and use of evidence be improved?
Is this Webinar for me?

- Are you responsible for leading M&E in your organization, or is that a role you would like to take on and you would like your practices to focus on reliable and quality evidence?
