The most interesting aspects are those involving collecting stakeholders’ views and incorporate them when designing a programme so as to suit their need. Other people termed this process as “participatory way” of doing things .In designing a social programme community's needs and expectation should well be observed because these are the primary beneficiaries of programmes. It is a bottom up approach rather than a top down approach whereby in the later one sits down and thinks for the community. What are the least interesting aspects of your field? Being a Monitoring and evaluation Manager of a programme requires willingness of community to participate in a programme.There are times when some people in these communities oppose developments for their individual benefits.This in other times slower the process.As a manager i have to negotiate with the community for the programme to be undertaken What is your weakness? I usually accept works from other staffs.This has placed me in a situation whereby i have a heavy load in most of the time How can potential employers contact you?
