Our Background and Expertise
Vantage Africa School of Leadership has positioned itself as a trusted training partner across Africa. We have trained over 10,000 professionals in 28 countries, walking alongside governments, NGOs and private sector organizations to strengthen their ability to design, monitor, and evaluate programs that deliver real impact.
Our Philosophy
We believe the key factor that will transform Africa is Leadership. And to us, leadership is, among other things, the ability to translate ideas into results. We strongly believe that Africa does not have a shortage of ideas, but rather, execution. With strong M&E, individuals, communities, organizations and countries are better able to execute, translating ideas into tangible results. And that is why, in our endeavor to develop transformational leaders across the continent, we chose to provide practical, hands-on training on Monitoring and Evaluation.

Gambia Ports Authority Board Training on M&E
The Gambia Ports Authority sponsored 4 staff members from their M&E department to attend our open program. When they resumed to the office after being certified, they informed the board on the value they got from the trainings, and the board reached out to us to train them. We took them for a 5 day training on M&E in Accra, Ghana
This team had representation for The Gambia Revenue Authority, Ministry of Transport, CEO of The Gambia Chamber of Commerce, Deputy DG of The Gambia Ports Authority
How We Conduct Our M&E Trainings
(and why our methodology works)
Our Unique Approach
We believe that M&E is not an academic concept. It is a competence based concept. Before you get certified, the question should not be "what you now know" but rather "what you now can do". Therefore, our training does not just focus on passing knowledge, but building competences. The job of the facilitator is to verify that participants have demonstrated all the competences necessary to be recognized as "Certified M&E Professionals".
Select Case Study
Every participant selects a case study project. Participants are encouraged to select projects they are already implementing, or projects they are planning.
Develop M&E Plan
Every participant is guided through the development of a comprehensive M&E plan for their project. This ensures that participants can apply skills anywhere.
Demonstrate Competence
In the process of developing the M&E plan, participants get to learn all the skills they need to become Certified M&E Professionals.
Learn by "Doing"
Concepts are learned by doing not by definition. For example, if we are discussing what an "outcome" is, we do not just define it. Participants create it for their projects.
Build All Key M&E Tools
Participants are not certified until they develop all the key tools in M&E, including Theory of Change, Logframe, Results Frameworks, Performance Monitoring Plans.
E-Learning Platform
Participants are enrolled on an E-Learning Platform, where they take a quiz after each module. After passing the quizzes for all the 5 modules, they download their certificate.
This approach has produced excellent professionals across the continent who do not just have "book knowledge", but can deliver results in the field.
