About this course
This course provides a foundation in the design of the monitoring and evaluation stage of a water quality monitoring programme and considerations of setting a long-term monitoring programme. Participants will explore how monitoring objectives are defined and refined, how indicators are selected, and how evaluation frameworks are applied to assess monitoring program performance. The lessons focus on monitoring and evaluation (M&E), long-term monitoring strategies, and the financial and institutional considerations required to ensure that water quality monitoring remains effective, adaptive, and credible in the long run. The course also lays out the institutional and financial dimensions in setting up longer-term monitoring efforts.
Learning Objective
Participants should be able to assess and improve water quality monitoring programmes using monitoring and evaluation principles, understand the requirements for sustaining long-term monitoring, and recognise the institutional and financial considerations needed to support effective and adaptive water quality management over time.

Instructor
I work at the intersection of science and policy to address environmental issues and the triple planetary crises. I’m adept at working in multilateral and cross-cultural environments, particularly in the Global South, where environmental justice and governance are tightly interlinked. With a background in environmental chemistry, engineering, and public affairs, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and policy insights. My experience spans across environmental management, environmental policy, hazardous chemicals and waste management, and pollution.
