The primary audience for the training modules is the Global Fund Principle Recipients (PRs). In addition, other actors involved in the M&E of Global Fund-supported programs are welcome to take the courses. These may include M&E resident advisors, Global Fund Sub-Recipients (SRs) and other implementers, Global Fund Local Fund Agents (LFAs), consultants providing technical assistance, etc. The modules are based on the content delivered in the past years by Global Fund officers in classroom-type training courses, both, within the Global Fund Secretariat and to Global Fund Principle Recipients.

The Masters of Education (M.Ed.) in Measurement, Evaluation, Statistics and Assessment (MESA) online program will be available starting Fall 2009. This online program provides an opportunity for domestic and international students with a bachelor's degree from any social, behavioral or health-science field to obtain a M.Ed. in MESA. The M.Ed. in MESA online program provides rigorous training in quantitative and qualitative methodologies and addresses the current industry-wide shortage of individuals capable of functioning effectively in educational research and other social science research settings. The M.Ed. in MESA online program is designed for several student populations: students who want to acquire the knowledge and technical skills needed for entry-level positions in academic institutions, state and federal agencies, school districts, and the testing and evaluation industry (e.g., licensure and certification boards, private and not-for-profit testing organizations); students who eventually wish to pursue doctoral studies in a MESA area; and Ph.D. students in education and other fields who want to increase their research skills and enhance their career opportunities by simultaneously enrolling in the M.Ed. in MESA online program.

The course includes modules ranging from the M&E framework to conducting evaluations, developing scopes of work, assuring data quality, and review and dissemination of evaluation results.

If you are pressed for showing results or need better progress information to make decisions about how to manage your public health or development program or project, try the 7-Day M&E Program. If you are looking for ways of designing a better M&E component of your project or if need to rapidly improve an existing one, try the 7-Day M&E program yourself or better yet, have all your team participate! Everyone needs to collect useful health information and learn to use to improve the results of a health service or program.
