This announcement is not only intended to serve as a means of informing you of the availability of the program, but also to ask for referrals of applicants. There may be promising employees working in monitoring and evaluation of public health programs who would be able to increase their contributions to this field in your country by enhancing their qualitative evaluation skills by attending this workshop.  We would appreciate your forwarding this announcement to potential applicants.
