Course Overview

Data-driven decisions begin with the right training

Across Nigeria's development sector, NGOs, government agencies and project teams are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable outcomes. Yet many professionals still lack the technical skills to collect, analyse and communicate data with confidence.

WIPS Global's Master Class Training bridges that gap. This is a structured, facilitator-led, hands-on programme — not a lecture series — built around the tools and techniques that M&E professionals and project teams actually use in the field.

Participants leave with applied competencies in data management, analysis, visualisation and M&E reporting, backed by a capstone project and a recognised certificate of completion.

Why Attend

Skills that move your career forward

The development sector is becoming data-intensive. Donors, governments and international partners increasingly demand evidence-based reporting, real-time monitoring and credible impact evaluations.

This masterclass gives you the technical edge to meet that demand — whether you are employed in a project team, running your own consultancy or still building your professional portfolio.

Gain In-Demand Analytical Skills

Excel, data tools and visualisation techniques are now baseline expectations for M&E roles.

Learn Real Project Evaluation Techniques

Frameworks used by development organisations and NGOs — not classroom theory.

Network with Professionals

50 participants per cohort means meaningful connections with peers across the development sector.

Improve Career & Consultancy Opportunities

Graduates of this masterclass are better positioned for project roles, M&E contracts and sector leadership.

2 Laptops to Be Won

The Capstone Challenge

Every participant completes a capstone project during the final day of training — a real-world data analysis task that integrates everything learned across the four days.

The two participants whose capstone projects demonstrate the best analytical rigour, visualisation quality and practical insight walk away with a brand new laptop each.

This is merit-based. Every participant is eligible to win based on the quality of their capstone project.
