What will the course be like?
This intensive 5 ½ day programme will provide an overview of the theory behind different evaluation tools. Participants progress through a series of hands-on activities that allow them to apply the tools of learning-based monitoring and evaluation to their current work. At the end of the week participants will present their plan and choose a step to implement over the next three months
Participants will be invited to re-group after 3 months and share their experiences of applying these concepts in the work place.
Who is the course for?
If you and your team are looking for evaluation that helps people link policy intention to on-the-ground service and the difference they make in people’s lives then this training opportunity is a must for you. This workshop would appeal particularly to community organisations, government agencies and evaluators.
