Results-based Management, Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology Held at: University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada July 12-16, 2010 This popular workshop introduces participants to Results-based Management, Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology. Move beyond the problem solving approach to design programmes based on assets, capabilities and potential. Demonstrate the effectiveness of your programmes with Results-based Management. Master what we mean by results, develop programme/organizational plans or logic models which are results-based and design performance monitoring systems based on indicators and participatory methods. You will fine tune your outcomes-based management and reporting by creating evidence-based reports. Results-based decision-making will enable you to learn, grow and perform. You will expand your repertoire of tools while learning about Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space and how these can be applied to your organization, programme and/or project. These approaches are increasingly used around the world to tap into new ways to go about our work; ways that are more results-oriented, more appreciative, less problem-focused and more self-organized vs. top down.

Held at: University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada July 19-23, 2010 The new Gender Training Workshop seeks to provide workshop participants with a solid understanding & skills in core concepts, gender analysis frameworks and gender strategies that can improve the effectiveness of your organization’s programmes and projects in working with women and men, boys and girls. The workshop will move you beyond the theory to apply in practical and useful ways gender analysis and gender sensitive strategies to your organization and its programmes to achieve greater social justice.

Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation with Community Practicum Held at: University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada July 26-31, 2010 Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) involves a different approach to project monitoring and evaluation by involving local people, project stakeholders, and development agencies deciding together about how to measure results and what actions should follow once this information has been collected and analyzed. This popular and intensive six-day experiential workshop is practically focused with daily excursions into the community and a three-day community assignment with a community based organization. Topics covered at the workshop include Origins of PM&E, Skills and Attributes of a PM&E facilitator, Learning PM&E tools,Designing a monitoring and evaluation framework, Quantitative and Qualitative Indicators, Using Mixed-methods, How to triangulate your findings, Building Action Plans and much more. A three day community practicum with an Ottawa non-profit organization will enable you to actually practice the tools learned in the workshop in a real life setting. More information is available at our website at www.mosaic-net-intl.ca or Register Online. All workshops organized by Mosaic are sensitive to issues of gender, ethnicity, race, and class and how these can influence outcomes as well as, how we see the world if they are absent from our assumptions, direct participation, our analysis and conclusions. Discounts available for groups of three or more workshop participants from the same organization. Can't attend the workshops?
