About the webinar

The Monitoring and Evaluation webinar series “From LogFrame to Database” is a series of four live sessions addressed to M&E and IM professionals working in the social sector who wish to master the logic behind the transformation of a MEAL plan into a database to support their M&E activities.

These sessions will help you understand key concepts and steps included in this process. Each session will focus on a particular step of this path and will be based on a real case example, gracefully provided by an ActivityInfo customer.

It is highly recommended that you join or watch the recordings of all webinars in their consecutive order so as to benefit from the complete course.
