Why You Should Attend
COVID-19 is upending our daily lives and how we typically work. This can provide both challenges & opportunities. There is a need to retool, retrofit and adapt current and future programmes to better respond both in the short and long term to shocks, stresses and health hazards. This workshop will help you to more effectively design, monitor and evaluate your programs to face various layers & structures of adversity: climate crisis, pandemics like COVID-19, and growing structural inequities that exacerbate vulnerabilities.
This Zoom comprehensive online workshop will focus on how to deal with COVID-19 impacts in real time in the way you design, manage, monitor, evaluate and report on your initiatives. The workshop will help you deal better with disruption, uncertainty and significant change so that you and your organization are more resilient and better at anticipating and adapting to disruption in the future. We will focus on real time case studies drawn from workshop participants to learn the essentials of results-based management. Together we will have an opportunity to reflect, retrofit and adapt our programming and our monitoring and evaluation work in light of COVID-19. Understanding the gendered impacts of COVID 19 will also be addressed with strategies that seek social transformation in gender relations in order to achieve greater gender equality. You will also learn how to use new online technologies to work in teams remotely in a participatory and inclusive way.
Take a step and join us in this adventure into remote digital collaboration and get inspired for the future of your work!

What Results To Expect
This remote workshop responds to the COVID-19 impacted environment we are all living in. Using an online Zoom platform, presentations will address COVID-19-related challenges and opportunities to better design, monitor & evaluate and report on programmes and projects that are affected by external shocks and stresses. Short presentations will be combined with breakout rooms for small online group discussions and exercises. Real time case studies drawn from workshop participants will be used to support the development of appropriate logic models, theory of change, risk management plans, and reports that take into account COVID-19 and its impact.
You will walk away with the skills to utilize concrete tools (Logic models, Performance Measurement Frameworks, Risk Mitigation Strategies, Results-based Reports) and dive deep into examples from case studies and presentations. You will be introduced to new online remote software (e.g. ZOOM, Kinaki (https://www.kinaki.ca/), among others) that you will use in your group work and that you can continue to use in your workplace. The hands-on, participatory and practical approach used by Mosaic in its face-to-face workshops will also be embedded in this remote workshop to ensure that you learn by doing and that the training is practical and ready to use in the workplace.
