Online Advanced Results-based Management &Theory of Change during and after COVID-19
July 17-31, 2020
Held via secure Zoom link online in 6 sessions
www.mosaic-net-intl.ca
In six 3.5 hour online sessions, we will show you how to:
- MASTER RBM digital tools in the workplace;
- DEVELOP a systems thinking around RBM;
- APPLY RBM at an organizational and programme level;
- DESIGN M&E systems for your own situation;
- DEVELOP and EXPLAIN the Theory of Change behind your logic model;
- USE performance measurement information in decision-making in project management and implementation
- WRITE a Results-based Report.
Why You Should Attend
COVID-19 is upending our daily lives and how we typically work. This can provide both challenges & opportunities. There is a need to retool, retrofit and adapt current and future programmes to better respond both in the short and long term to shocks, stresses and health hazards. This workshop will help you to more effectively design, monitor and evaluate your programs to face various layers & structures of adversity: climate crisis, pandemics like COVID-19, and growing structural inequities that exacerbate vulnerabilities.
This Zoom comprehensive online workshop will focus on how to deal with COVID-19 impacts in real time in the way you design, manage, monitor, evaluate and report on your initiatives. The workshop will help you deal better with disruption, uncertainty and significant change so that you and your organization are more resilient and better at anticipating and adapting to disruption in the future. We will focus on real time case studies drawn from workshop participants to retrofit, adapt or create new initiatives that are sensitive to external shocks, stresses and hazards, and together learn impactful strategies for adapting program monitoring and evaluation in a time of Covid-19. Understanding the gendered impacts of COVID 19 will also be addressed with strategies that seek social transformation and greater gender equality. You will learn how to use new online technologies to work in teams remotely in a participatory and inclusive way.
Take a step and join us in this adventure into remote digital collaboration and get inspired for the future of your work!
Who Will Be There?
This workshop is designed for individuals who already have some basic understanding of RBM, particularly:
- Decision-makers who want to cultivate their organizational resilience & deepen their understanding of RBM & the Theory of Change and boost their strategies and skills to adapt their RBM systems, make critical decisions on organizational policy, resource allocations, and move forward in terms of sustainable development and the SDGs.
- Professionals & managers who work with different stakeholder groups at government, intermediary or community levels and apply RBM on an ongoing basis, mentor or train others on RBM applications, and are involved in project design, monitoring and evaluation;
- NGOs, academics and consultants who want to broaden their repertoire of RBM tools & methods and retool using online platforms that are participatory and interactive.
- Students who want to learn real time approaches, methods and tools used in programme and project design, management and implementation.
What Results To Expect
This remote workshop responds to the COVID-19 impacted environment we are all living in. Using an online Zoom platform, presentations will address COVID-19-related challenges and opportunities to better design, monitor & evaluate and report on programmes and projects that are affected by external shocks and stresses. Short presentations will be combined with breakout rooms for small online group discussions and exercises. Real time case studies drawn from workshop participants will be used to support the development of appropriate logic models, theory of change, risk management plans, and reports that take into account COVID-19 and its impact.
You will walk away with concrete tools (Logic models, Performance Measurement Frameworks that enable rapid response M&E, Risk Mitigation Strategies, Results-based Reports) and examples from case studies and presentations. You will be introduced to new online remote software (e.g. ZOOM, Kinaki, among others) that you will use in your group work and that you can continue to use in your workplace. The hands-on, participatory and practical approach used by Mosaic in its face-to-face workshops will also be embedded in its remote learning to ensure that you learn by doing and that the training is practical and ready to use in the workplace.
