Methodology
DescriptionThis workshop is your gateway to the world of impact evaluation for population, health, and nutrition programs. In an environment of increasing resource constraints and heightened scrutiny of program performance, this course equips you with the knowledge and skills to rigorously assess the real impact of these vital initiatives. Explore fundamental questions such as the true effectiveness of these programs and their differential impact on various groups. Through theoretical foundations, hands-on exercises, and in-depth case studies, you will gain the expertise to inform program design, implementation, and adaptation decisions.

ObjectivesBy the end of this workshop, participants will:
- Understand the fundamental concepts of program impact evaluation.
- Define key questions in impact evaluation and examine the critical considerations for obtaining valid answers.
- Explore a variety of evaluation designs and estimation methods used to assess program impact.
- Develop criteria for selecting the most appropriate estimation strategy based on program characteristics and data availability.
- Interpret results accurately and evaluate their programmatic implications.
BACK
CompetenciesKey competencies that students will gain upon completing the course:
- Proficiency in program impact evaluation concepts and techniques.
- The ability to formulate precise impact evaluation questions and considerations.
- Mastery of various evaluation designs and estimation methods for program impact assessment.
- Skill in selecting appropriate estimation strategies based on program characteristics and data availability.
- Competence in interpreting evaluation results and understanding their programmatic implications.
- Competence in preparing comprehensive impact evaluation proposals for real-world programs.
- These competencies will empower students to be more effective in their roles as program managers, policymakers, and evaluators in the field of population, health, and nutrition programs.

MethodologyThis course is conducted on the Moodle platform (Learning Management System or LMS), which provides 24/7 access, always within the specified date ranges for each activity. As a result, you can review the educational resources as many times as you find necessary.Our teaching and learning strategies for the course are as follows:
- Resource Analysis: Involves reviewing and analyzing information provided in the recommended reference materials. This analysis serves as the foundation for the proposed learning activities in the course.
- Forum Participation: This serves as a space for reflection, where you can ask questions or share ideas and perspectives on specific topics through written contributions.
- Learning Activities: These are specific tasks or learning evidence that promote various skills and contribute to the final grade, with designated weightings.
- Partial Assessments: These assessments consist of brief questionnaires to evaluate your understanding of the content covered in each module.
- Final Assesment: The final grade will be the average of the scores obtained in the four modules. An average greater than 7 will result in a passing grade.
