This document is a compilation of a cycle of 3 training courses on the monitoring of Economic Interest Groups (EIG) provided to the coordinators of Kissidougou and Kankan Watershed Projects between December 1996 and June 1997. These courses were accompanied by practical exercises compiled in this document in the form of corrected exercises and application exercises using data from the field. The data therefore remains specific to an intervention area and is only intended to implement the course.
