Program Design for M&E

This course will build on your ability to develop a theoretical framework of monitoring and evaluation. In this portion of the program, you will start operationalizing the theoretical framework into a measurable one. You will learn how to move from constructs to variables, how to build reliable and valid measures, and which qualitative and quantitative methodologies and designs are available to you. The course also will include discussion of case studies from various sectors/industries. Please note that Introduction to Monitoring and Evaluation is a prerequisite for this course. COURSE TOPICS:     Problem Definition and Targeting     Applying the Theory of Change     Evaluative Questions and Evaluation Capacity Planning     Logic Models & Framework     Indicator Design     Process Evaluation     Outcome & Impact Evaluation     Data Collection SystemsThis is an instructor-led virtual course which includes both synchronous-live sessions and asynchronous weekly modules. Students are required to attend at least 80% of the synchronous sessions in order to successfully complete the course.
