2024 IPA-IRRI Introductory Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Capacity Building Program
Course Description
The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is at the forefront in abolishing poverty and hunger among people and populations that depend on rice-based agriculture food systems. Meanwhile, Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) has been making strides on the use of evidence in reducing poverty through evidence, engagement, and empowerment. IRRI and IPA, both committed to alleviating poverty, will collaborate on a capacity-building and knowledge-sharing program to explore the relationship between poverty alleviation and agricultural development. This partnership aims to enhance the monitoring, evaluation, and learning capabilities of both organizations.
