7. process data gathered by using an appropriate statistics program; and
8. present and discuss findings in relation to the specified objectives.
II. Training Methodology
The program is a combination of theory and field practice. Short lectures and substantial practice to enable participants to apply what has been learned is the main method augmented by field visits to organizations to provide insights on best practices in developing monitoring systems integrated in the overall strategy planning in a department or the organization. In all aspects of the program, the participants are expected to share ideas, raise particular concerns during the discussions, and be able to write a draft report on lessons learned at the end of the program.
