the SPUR Change Program on behalf of ICN in collaboration with Salanga invites you to the series of MEL training:
This one-day intensive workshop will be a practical hands-on experience for participants to dive deeper into data collection design, participatory and feminist approaches, and technology for data collection. Together we will explore key tips and tricks for improving data collection and management and involving local partners and community members in data collection. We will review gender-sensitive, feminist and community-led approaches to data collection, and apply learning through case studies and shared experiences. Participants will talk through and engage in hands-on exercises to make decisions on using technology for data collection, based on an understanding of the pitfalls, opportunities and best practices for going digital. We will also share the top technology tools and app options for SMOs. At the end of the day you will leave with practical ideas, new M&E friends and more enthusiasm, skills and tools for ensuring your data collection is easy, empowering and impactful to you and your organization.
All SMOs meeting the following Global Affairs Canada criteria across Canada are invited to participate in the program.
Through a mix of practical activities and examples of effective practice you will learn how to:
