The webinars would complement the existing pieces of training provided directly by USAID.
ASSESS has identified essential skills, concepts, and practices critical to designing and maintaining effective systems and to further strengthening the capacities of IPs. The strengthened M&E systems will facilitate data collection and reporting, providing high-quality data for project management and operational decision-making to improve the effectiveness and impact of USAID programs and interventions in the region.
