Training Workshop on M&E for ADRRN Members
A three-day Training Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluation for ADRRN members has been accomplished in Kathmandu. The Training Workshop was organized by the Asian Disaster Reduction and Response Network (ADRRN) which is a regional network consisting of 42 national NGOs as Core Members and 7 Organizations as Associate Members from 20 countries across the Asia-Pacific region. The program has been made possible with the support from The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). On behalf of ADRRN, National Society for Earthquake Technology – Nepal (NSET), one of the founder members of ADRRN hosted this program locally.
Monitoring and Evaluation Training Program for ADRRN members in Asia-Pacific region has been envisioned for creating positive change for building resilience. Main aim is to convene highly interactive participative forum for ADRRN members to discuss and finalize Monitoring and Evaluation strategy.
ADRRN is adopting Outcome Mapping as strategy for capturing a change and impacts of its activities in region along with the members. Outcome Mapping is chosen because it captures the change created as a result of activities carried out by various members. The idea is to propagate the efforts and develop M&E capacity at national and local level through ADRRN members and facilitators developed.
Major objectives of this training program are as follows;
- Prepare Outcome Mapping strategy for ADRRN based on the strategic objectives of the network
- Training of ADRRN members on various aspects of Outcome Mapping
- Raise awareness and build capacity of members to adopt Outcome Mapping as Monitoring and Evaluation strategy for their organizations
Mr. Laxmi Dhakal, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of Nepal addressed the inaugural session as the Chief Guest. Mr. Damien Dunn, First Secretary and Consul, Australian Embassy to Nepal put keynote remarks on the occasion. ADRRN Board Member Mr. Amod Dixit highlighted on this activity and also briefed on ADRRN strategies while ADRRN Coordinator Mr. Mihir Joshi did moderation.
