Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) has become a cornerstone of effective planning, performance management, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making across sectors, particularly in health, development, and public policy. In Tanzania and across Sub-Saharan Africa, demand for skilled M&E professionals continues to grow due to expanding national programs (e.g., health systems strengthening, Universal Health Coverage, results-based financing).
Despite the increasing number of training offered still the issues of competency gaps between theory and practical, particularly in:
– Practical application of M&E tools and systems
– Designing and setting M&E System
– M&E Data analysis, interpretation and reporting for continuous improvement
– Use of digital M&E platforms
– Linking M&E and other interventions (Planning, Project, Program and other cross-cutting issues)
The Competency-Based M&E Training (CBMET) is designed to bridge this gap by complementing
academic learning with hands-on, practice-oriented, and industry-aligned skills development.
Welcome to the Competency-Based Monitoring and Evaluation Training (CBMET), a comprehensive six-week online capacity-building program designed to equip professionals, graduates, and university students with the practical skills, knowledge, and competencies required to excel in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E).
The program is delivered by the Mobile Facilitation Team (MOFATE), a professional platform committed to advancing capacity development through digital learning, innovation, mentorship, and practical skills enhancement. CBMET has been developed to address the growing demand for competent M&E professionals capable of supporting evidence-based planning, performance management, accountability, and program improvement across various sectors.
In today’s rapidly evolving development landscape, Monitoring and Evaluation has become a critical function in ensuring that projects, programs, and policies achieve their intended outcomes. Governments, non-governmental organizations, healthcare institutions, development partners, and private sector organizations increasingly rely on robust M&E systems to track progress, measure impact, and inform strategic decisions.
Despite the availability of numerous academic and professional training opportunities, many individuals continue to face challenges in translating theoretical knowledge into practical workplace competencies. Common gaps include designing and operationalizing M&E systems, managing and analyzing data, developing indicators, preparing quality reports, utilizing digital M&E tools, and integrating M&E into planning, project management, and organizational learning processes.
The Competency-Based Monitoring and Evaluation Training (CBMET) was specifically designed to bridge this gap by providing a practical, hands-on, and industry-aligned learning experience. Through interactive sessions, real-world case studies, guided assignments, simulations, and mentorship from experienced practitioners, participants gain the competencies needed to effectively design, implement, manage, and utilize Monitoring and Evaluation systems in their respective fields.
