About the webinar

This Webinar is a one-hour session ideal for Monitoring and Evaluation professionals who are interested in inclusive M&E activities and data collection.

During the session, we discuss with the two speakers, Ms. Naomi Falkenburg and Mr. Alex Bertram, the following questions:

• What is inclusion and how can we capture inclusion concerns in the baseline to support inclusion in practice?
• What are inclusive indicators? Why would we use them, and how?
• How does an information system actually help reach our goals of being more inclusive in our programming? Does it have a real impact for the people on the ground?
• What are the risks of not disaggregating data?
• What kind of categories of disaggregated data should we keep in mind, and how should we decide which to use?
• What can we do when not all partners have breakdowns available?
• How can an information system work with qualitative data as well as quantitative data?
• What is the value of affected communities participating in M&E? How can we encourage participation? .

Please take a look at this Guide on inclusive M&E data collection systems for further reading. You can also access the French version of this Guide.

Since then, he has worked with organizations in more than 50 countries to deploy ActivityInfo for monitoring & evaluation.
