Hi Rick, I am the Senior M&E advisor at world learning in washington, dc and am currently delivering an inhouse M&E training program for staff. A large part of World Learning’s portfolio involves USAID funded training and educational exchange programs for which “success stories” have been an accepted evaluation methodology for too long. In an effort to develop a more rigorous evaluation approach, I have explored your work on MSC and think this might be a valuable addition to our evaluation strategies. I would be grateful for any training slides/materials you have and, of course, would be more than willing to adapt and share. Looking forward to your reply.

I am supposed to apply for a position as middle term volunteer for a project organized by the Asia Europe Foundation Young Volunteers Exchange-Health on Stage Project. The the applicants are required to be knowledgeable in MSC, which unfortunately, I am not. It is regretful that i will be missing this chance to be involved in the project, which led me to ponder: MSC is already breaking ground even in culture focused project. I am interested to learn or be trained in MSC. can i have a copy of the necessary materials or training modules?

I am an executive committee member of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts- National Committee on Cultural Education. Recently, we launched the summer institute for Cultural Workers, I think MSC should be included in the curriculum. Thank you very much.

Greetings Rick,

I’d like to request a copy of your presentations. I’m working with Help Channel Burundi and we are planning to pilot an adaptation of MSC in our reforestation projects as a way to give more focus to social dynamics involved. Happy to share our innovations and eager to link up with others in the region, I see there are a couple people in Rwanda working with MSC. We are planning to integrate the use of digital video (PV) and would be interested to know if there are others doing the same in our neighborhood.

Cheers,
Nathan

Hi Rick
I hope you are very well. I am deeply embedded in WaterAid at the moment.

We are planning a workshop on equity and inclusion using MSC to elicit key learning from country programmes.

Any powerpoints explaining the MSC methodology would be very useful.

Also, are there any MSC materials/ guidelines or ppts in French or Portuguese?

thanks very much. I hope you are enjoying the sporadically fine weather.

best wishes
Louisa

Hi Rick,

I am working as a Program Support Officer with Caritas Australia’s office in Cambodia. I participated in Clear Horizons training about MSC earlier this year and am wanting to put the theory into practice! I am interested in training my colleagues about how to use MSC for monitoring and developing case studies, and would appreciate access to your powerpoints. I would particulalry interested in learning more about how An Sokchea (World Vision Cambodia)has adapted MSC for World Vision Cambodia’s work.

Cheers

Dear Rick and others,

I am interested in receiving latest materials (powerpoints, articles, guidelines) in MSC. I have been using MSC mainly in our PPME training (and some other training) and also developed a MSC guide for an international NGO working in Zambia. End of this month I will be facilitating a workshop on MSC and PV (participatory video) with an IFAD funded programme in Zanzibar, so also looking for sharing experiences in this area. Also, I would appreciate to receive the materials of the workshop that we as Wageningen International organised, and which was facilitated by you (Rick Davies) and Irene Guijt. I attended the workshop but can’t find the materials? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance! And of course I am willing to share what I will be doing in Zanzibar.

Hi Rick,

I am a VSO volunteer in Zambia working with Caritas Chipata as M&E Advisor and I am planning to adapt MSC when i conduct evaluation of their 2006-2008 strategic plan. However, rather than doing it on my own, i would like to train my colleagues on how to conduct MSC. I would be very happy to access the materials that you are willing to share.

Thanks a lot.
