Course Description
Development projects, programs, and policies are typically designed to create change for the target beneficiaries.

Impact evaluation assesses the changes that can be attributed to a particular intervention, such as a project, program, or policy, both the intended ones, as well as ideally the unintended ones. This course is designed to equip the participants with adequate skills to conduct rigorous impact evaluations for their interventions. The course covers all aspects of planning, designing, and implementing a successful impact evaluation. By the end of the course, the participants are expected to be experts who can carry out impact assessment assignments for their organizations or as consultants.
