Background

UNITAR

The Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative aims to ensure universal protection from hazardous hydrometeorological, climatological and related environmental events through life-saving multi-hazard early warning systems, anticipatory action and resilience efforts by the end of 2027, as called for by the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres in 2022. 

Achieving this vision demands effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices, which are crucial for guiding decision-makers, tracking progress, and demonstrating the real-world impact of early warning systems. 

In line with this objective, the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative has established a comprehensive M&E framework that includes a set of global indicators and a structured approach to results-based management. This framework is instrumental in capturing the effectiveness of early warning systems by aligning diverse projects and programmes with four core pillars: disaster risk knowledge, detection and monitoring, dissemination and communication, and preparedness and response capabilities.

Monitoring & Evaluation of Early Warnings for All E-Learning Course

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is pleased to offer the e-learning course titled "Monitoring & Evaluation of Early Warnings for All” (EW4ALL) designed by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Bonn Office. 

The “Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) of Early Warnings for All” (EW4ALL) e-learning course aims to serve as a practical guide and resource designed to empower practitioners to set up and evaluate end-to-end, people-centered, Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS). 

This course provides an accessible yet rigorous platform for government officials, programme planners, M&E specialists, and other interested learners to become adept at applying the EW4All Logic Model and M&E Framework. Through a combination of theoretical insights, practical applications, and scenario-based exercises, participants will acquire the skills needed to contribute meaningfully to early warning efforts, ensuring that their work supports a safer, more resilient world.

Course Structure and Learning Experience

The course is divided into four engaging modules, each offering lessons, assessments, and supplementary materials to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. Delivered through UNITAR’s virtual learning environment, participants will have access to interactive, scenario-based exercises, reference materials, and discussion boards to foster collaboration.

With flexible study options, participants can progress at their own pace, exploring additional annexes and resources according to their needs. Successful completion of assessments leads to official course certification, a valuable credential for disaster risk professionals.
