TRAINING COURSE ON IMPACT EVALUATION FOR EVIDENCE-BASED DEVELOPMENT

INTRODUCTION

Impact evaluation involves the assessment of changes as a result of projects, programs, or policies. This included both the intended and unintended interventions.  This course aims at imparting skills to participants on the ways to carryout impact evaluations on their respective programs, policies, or projects. At the end of the course a participant sold be able to carry out a vigorous impact assessment with respect to specific interventions.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course the participants will be able to:

  • Identify impact evaluation theories and practices
  • Understand problems of evaluation (biases n placement, attribution and selection)
  • Explain designs of IE
  • Carry out a project impact evaluation
  • Learn impact evaluation econometric tools
  • Undertake analysis of impact data using Propensity Matching and Difference-in –Difference
  • Report and share findings from impact evaluation

DURATION

5 Days

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course targets project staff, researchers, managers, development professionals, government policy makers, NGOs and development organizations who want to identify the impacts in relation to specific interventions.
