More about our trainings Capacity Building
In participatory M&E, primary stakeholders – individuals or groups targeted for assistance – are active participants, and evaluation outcomes reflect their perspectives and aspirations. ResultsinHealth works to ensure that the M&E process itself is empowering for all stakeholders. Learning about these techniques gives your organization important tools to capture results and outcomes, both expected and unexpected, without the need for implementing costly quantitative surveys.
Participatory M&E capabilities are especially important for organizations needing to evaluate complex programming, including projects that have multiple streams of activities, or are focused on improving rights or increasing inclusivity or gender equality. Techniques such as PhotoVoice and Digital Story Telling provide visual evidence of change, which can be important for advocacy campaigns, donor reporting, fundraising, and general marketing.
We know that adults are self-paced, enter the trainings with prior knowledge and life experience, and learn by doing. Our trainings cover each of the participatory M&E methodologies step by step, and demonstrate, through examples and exercises, how to apply the methodology for research or evaluations.
Our trainings are valuable for a wide variety of professionals including NGO staff, independent M&E experts, consultants, researchers, and educators. Our visual participatory M&E methodologies such as PhotoVoice would also interest community workers and campaigners, photographers, visual artists and marketing specialists. Anyone looking for new and creative ways to gain insight into people’s lived experiences and concerns would gain useful knowledge and techniques from ResultsinHealth’s trainings.
Technical Assistance and Coaching: In addition to short-term trainings, we specialize in providing ongoing training, coaching and technical assistance for organizations and projects in M&E systems and procedures.
RiH can develop a customized capacity building programs based on your organization’s specific M&E needs. Typically, our customized trainings involve a series of trainings and workshops, on the job M&E support, and intensive mentoring.

“I really enjoyed the Liberating Structures Online Immersion Workshop for M&E Specialists! Through directly applying some liberating structures, we collectively generated new ideas on how to make M&E truly participatory. The training was a lot of fun and very rich, while allowing deep reflections and hands-on learning."

Participants in ResultsinHealth training come from countries all over the world, working for (inter)national governmental and non-governmental organisations, consultancy firms and social enterprises. Below is some testimonial from the training participants:
Frederick Gaghauna, Independent Consultant
Followed a ResultsinHealth training on MSC, Outcome Harvesting and Photovoice.
Jakarta, Indonesia, 2019
“The training with ResultinHealth was great. It's very professional, engaging, fun and practical. I joined the 3 trainings in Jakarta: Outcomes Harvesting, Most Significant Change and Photovoice. All the sessions executed very good combined between theories, case studies, simulations and discussion. Would love to recommend everyone to join RIH classes.”
Esther Sulkers, Postdoctoral researcher
University Medical Center Groningen
Followed a ResultsinHealth Photovoice training.
“I attended the photovoice training, provided by Karijn Kakebeeke (organized by ResultsinHealth) in 2016. This was a great experience. I think that photovoice is a great methodology to elicit the unique perspective of the research participants, especially in low resource settings. The training was very informative, we learned a lot about the background of photovoice, but also got a lot of practice. I really recommend this training to everyone who want to expand his/her (research) toolbox with this participatory qualitative approach.”
Julia Challinor, nurse
Followed a ResultsinHealth training on PVMSC and Photovoice.
Leiderdorp/The Hague, the Netherlands, 2016/2017
"As a nurse working only in low- and middle-income countries in oncology care (a seriously biomedical and quantitatively heavy discipline), I relished the opportunity to learn new qualitative monitoring and evaluation (M&E) techniques to discover unexpected positive outcomes as well as give voice to the recipients and stakeholders in cancer care.
I have shared what I learned with colleagues across the world who are frustrated by traditional M&E results that show little progress, despite consensus that there have been significant changes. ResultsinHealth classes always have diverse students who are thoughtful professionals and the instructors are well-prepared with course teaching and staying on time, which means students are not short-changed. I heartily endorse ResultsinHealth courses for M&E qualitative-curious researchers and health professionals."
