31 Jul ME&A Team Leads Communications Training for US Government missions Partners in El Salvador

Communicating to external audiences about the progress and achievements of US Government missions projects was the subject of two training sessions representatives of 10 US Government missions implementing partners attended on July 12 and 19, 2018, in El Salvador. The Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MELI) initiative for the US Government mission in El Salvador carried out the External Communication Level 1 and 2 trainings on methodological and technological tools to facilitate external communication about progress and achievements. Participants were instructed on the criteria to follow for the development of statistical charts and graphs, highlighting different types of graphs and their application depending on the type of variable. Additionally, participants learned about computer tools, practical applications of “Dashboards” using Excel, and graphics using the Power BI program. ME&A currently implements the five-year MELI project for the US Government mission in El Salvador under the Policy, Planning and Learning-Learning, Evaluation and Research (PPL-LER) IDIQ Contract to provide evaluation, monitoring, and assessment services for US Government missions and offices worldwide.
