Introduction

Blockchain in M&E Training Course is designed to equip development professionals with cutting-edge skills to enhance data integrity, transparency, accountability, and trust across project lifecycles. As donors, governments, and implementing partners demand real-time, tamper-proof, and verifiable evidence, blockchain technology is rapidly emerging as a transformative solution for results-based management, impact tracking, and evidence-driven decision-making.

This course explores how distributed ledger technology (DLT) can be strategically integrated into M&E systems to address persistent challenges such as data manipulation, weak audit trails, fragmented reporting systems, and low stakeholder trust. Through hands-on case studies from humanitarian aid, social protection, health, climate finance, and governance programs, participants will learn how to design, implement, and evaluate blockchain-enabled M&E frameworks aligned with SDGs, donor compliance standards, and digital transformation strategies.
