“Thanks again for the excellent training last month. It has made a significant difference in the way I think about the work I do and how to best understand planning, and linking objectives to activities in a meaningful way.”

_

“As part of my final Master’s thesis in project management research, I decided to work on harvesting the effects of advocacy projects by civil society health organizations in Côte d’Ivoire. It is really from our online training in Outcome Harvesting that I really chose this theme.”

“The work Southern Hemisphere has done with our currently supported NGO’s on the M&E training has been phenomenal – thank you.”

_

“The training with Southern Hemisphere was SO useful. I felt so much more confident in the process and it’s great to have learned new skills. Our partners were so happy to learn more of the process and we had great fun working together.”

_

“It was a very participatory evaluation process – our colleagues from the Country office were patiently taken along the process and empowered to perform data collection. The way in which the consultants kept all of us on track of the process despite the process being stretched over many months was outstanding.”
