09 Listening, trust and MEL with Anne Garbutt

Today I am speaking with Anne Garbutt. Anne is an independent
senior monitoring and evaluation consultant and an Associate of
INTRAC.  She has worked in international Development for 37
years, starting when she volunteered with VSO to lead a Midwifery
training programme in Nepal for the W.H.O. 


She has led large multi-country monitoring and evaluation
exercises for government donors, but also works with many small
civil society organisations.  


She also develops and delivers training, coaching and mentoring
in MEL and delivers INTRAC’s popular Advanced Monitoring and
Evaluation training course. In this wisdom filled conversation,
Anne shares generous insights from her decades of experience of
working as a consultant. We talk about trust, listening and how
to build relationships with our clients. We learn how this
sometimes means we need to hold back our opinion, and how we can
steer clients down a route that will ultimately work for them and
get them the best result.

Please bear with us on the sound on the last 20 minutes or so -
Anne sounds perfect.
I sound a bit like a Dalek! I had some mic issues - but the
wisdom is wonderful and clear from Anne!
