About the Paper
Building capacity in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) requires not only tools and templates but also sustained learning. This Teaching Paper curates a set of essential resources—including books, articles, and professional websites—that help non-profits and practitioners deepen their knowledge and skills. Each resource is contextualized with practical notes to guide its application in program settings. A case study demonstrates how a women’s health non-profit strengthened its evaluation practices by integrating selected resources into training and decision-making. Reflection questions encourage readers to design their own learning paths, while practical considerations highlight challenges of access, application, and sustainability.
