On 1 April 2020, USAID and IDEAL hosted a webinar on ‘Challenges and Strategies for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in the Time of COVID-19’. The virtual meeting was attended by 500 M&E professionals.
The participants of webinar completed a poll that yielded the following results.
As most organizations were responding to the challenges by using remote data collection and monitoring, the following resources were recommended.
