INTRAC: Introduction to Monitoring and Evaluation

The International NGO Training and Research Centre (INTRAC) is a NGO that supports CSOs around the world by helping to explore policy issues, and by strengthening management and organisational effectiveness.

INTRAC is conducting a five-day course on Introduction to Monitoring and Evaluation from 20-24 April 2009 in Oxford.
