Training on monitoring and evaluation systems

In the Ratanakiri province in Cambodia, support to indigenous communities living in forestry areas is limited.
People for Agriculture Development in Cambodia (IADC) and Highlanders Association (HA) are two indigenous local associations working in Ratanakiri Province to support and empower indigenous communities, so that they can protect their land, natural resources, identity, and rights.
These two organizations have common capacity-building goals.
HA does not face particular difficulties with the funders/donors but want to improve its project monitoring tools and processes. The organization has templates but the team lacks of experience to use and improve it. IADC faces difficulties to meet the deadlines/produce the reports on time for funders.
In order to strengthen their efficiency and relationships with donors, both organizations want to generate timely and accurate information. IADC and HA teams need to benefit from training on the systems that produce financial, management, performance monitoring and evaluation information.
Recourse to the support of Planète Urgence volunteers is important because IADC and HA do not have the internal skills for this mission, or the financial means to pay a trainer.

o Identification of important data to collect for the reports
o Use of monitoring reports at the beginning/end of the projects
o Improvement of existing tools and templates.
o Design of case studies.
