Evaluating the impact of policies, programmes, and projects is crucial for ensuring their effectiveness and sustainability. This training course equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to design and conduct comprehensive impact evaluations, enabling them to measure outcomes, assess benefits, and inform decision-making processes.
The course begins with an overview of impact evaluation and its role in evidence-based policy and programme development. Participants will learn to apply various evaluation frameworks, including experimental and quasi-experimental designs, to measure causal impacts. The training highlights the importance of data collection, analysis, and stakeholder engagement in crafting evaluations that are accurate and actionable.
Through real-world examples and case studies, the course demonstrates how to identify key indicators, navigate challenges, and integrate findings into organisational practices. Practical exercises on tools like the theory of change, cost-benefit analysis, and evaluation reports ensure participants leave with actionable skills.
By the end of the course, attendees will have a robust understanding of impact evaluation and the ability to apply these skills to policies, programmes, or projects, driving accountability and improvement in their organisations.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able:
- Understand the fundamentals and importance of impact evaluation.
- Apply various evaluation designs to measure causal impacts.
- Develop indicators and data collection tools for robust evaluation.
- Conduct data analysis to assess the outcomes and impacts of initiatives.
- Integrate evaluation findings into strategic decision-making processes.
- Navigate common challenges in conducting impact evaluations.
This course is designed for:
- Policy Makers and Programme Managers : Professionals responsible for designing and implementing initiatives.
- Evaluation and Monitoring Specialists : Individuals tasked with assessing the outcomes and impacts of projects.
