Having completed this course, I give credit to the Philanthropy University and FHI360 team for conveying such a technical given subject matter (monitoring and evaluation) in such a simplified manner.

Though, the fundamental concepts, skill sets, tools and knowledge of the field (monitoring and evaluation) are enormous, however, the basic and fundamental of it all were all covered and discussed in simplified terms, devoid of any technical jargons.

The assessments and quizzes were also relevant, as it gave me the opportunity to appropriately apply and exercise the knowledge gained, tools learnt and skills developed.

Kudos to Philanthropy University team for putting up quality learning opportunities in collaboration with international organizations of high reputation, to esteemed learners at no cost to the prospective learner, in contrast to the popular belief that nothing of high quality comes for free.

Having undertook some selected courses of Philanthropy University and attest to the fact that it was a time well spent for me, I look forward to undertaking many more courses to come.
