UNDP Training

Field Monitoring

I had never heard of it before.
My boss signed me up for this workshop and I was shocked to death. I was petrified because even knowing what it supposed to mean was impossible for me. Wow!

Yet I came on the first day and it was indeed scary. I was the only 'white' woman over there. Many were local people from local NGO (non governmental orgz). Many were men. Huu,.. it was scary.

When the speaker started speaking, it was not that bad. Field monitoring is about going to the field and examining how your implementing partners have spent your aid, your money. It is about doing field research, questionnaire and survey, and in the end reporting it to your boss or other parties.

The attendants were fun, too! Jhon, man with brown shirt, was very funny. He looked like my english teacher in my junior high school. FYI, he has ever joined Indonesian Who Wants To Be Millionaire. Wow! Another funny friend I met there is Pepen, who looked like RAJA band vocalist. Hahahaha!! (he is the one in white-orange stripped polo shirt).

I am so glad to join this! Workshop

Update!

It is probably because I have been in Indonesia for a while. I am now more comfortable writing in Indonesian. I hope you don't mind reading that.
Yet, I promise to update this FREE PRAYER blog regularly.
