MONITORING AND EVALUATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
In most cases an M&E system refers to all the indicators, tools and processes that you will use to measure if a program has been implemented according to the plan (monitoring) and is having the desired result (evaluation). An M&E system is often described in a document called an M&E plan.
The use of a Monitoring and Evaluation system in a project or program is a significant undertaking that generally requires both organizational changes and employee readiness for the transition. To establish clarity of purpose for the M&E system, create a clear roadmap, and communicate the vision, key stakeholders have to be trained on broad-based and systematic approaches to M&E, and indeed the drivers that are generating the demand for evaluation.

PROJECT PROPOSAL WRITING AND RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
Writing is an art that can be learnt and improved upon. It is one way of communicating with people to share the thoughts and to give concrete ideas and messages. It is more challenging than speaking because speaking is more interactive and both sides can clarify at once if they need more information. Writing cannot give that kind of chance and in some way, it is a passive way of communicating. However, good writing can provide concrete messages to the readers.
While managers of NGOs may accurately realize the importance of fundraising, without thorough knowledge of the donors’ landscape they waste valuable time and money figuring out how the system works. Increased understanding of these different avenues however, can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of fundraising campaigns.
