SlideShare presentations on Monitoring and Evaluation: A List

Please note: When you visit the SlideShare website to see these slideshows you can view these presentations on screen, or download them (in some but nor all cases). You can also make public comments on any of the slides that you see, using the Comment box under the screen.

If you have a presentation on monitoring and evaluation issues that you think visitors to the MandE NEWS website would like to see, then upload it to www.slideshare.net then send me (Rick Davies) the link to that presentation. I will then list it here, so others can find it.

PS1: You can add an audio track to the presentation very easily. Use open-source Audacity to record the track in MP3 format, upload it to www.slideshare.net and then follow the easy instructions to link the right bits of audio to the right parts of the presentation. Easy!
