Introduction to Information Management Systems for development projects

About the Webinar

One of the keys to a successful implementation of a development project is having access to quality information. Having an information management system in place helps to ensure that you are organizing all the information about your project effectively so that you have access to the insights you need to make decisions about your project.

But what exactly is an information management system? And what would we need to know to set one up for our project?

In summary, we cover:

• The importance of information management systems in development projects
• Key components of information management systems
• Qualities of an effective information management system

Is this Webinar for me?

• Are you a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) practitioner and are interested in learning more about the role that information management plays in M&E?

Then, watch our Webinar!
