Managing the Politics of Evaluation

This course considers some of the challenges that evaluators and evaluation managers face when striving to have an impartial evaluation of a programme. It will focus on the humanitarian context where it has been less openly discussed. Although there are certainly political factors stemming from ideological and policy debates that can affect the "success” of an intervention, this course will particularly focus on how the "political” interests of the various partners involved can influence the evaluation process. It will then go on to look at what measures can be taken to address these potential threats and protect the professional integrity of the evaluator and the contract manager.

Cutting Edge Monitoring and Evaluation: A Guide for Practitioners

This course provides a novel way of looking at the practice of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The question "what difference are we making”- as an individual, project, programme, organisation or network, is increasingly important whether for learning or accountability. The course lays out the challenges, introduces a tool-box of techniques and shows where these can be best applied through practical strategies and case studies. M&E are viewed as critical to all stages of a policy or programme development.  Ways of promoting early participation and the engagement of key stakeholders are explored and benefits and risks assessed. This lays the ground for M&E to make vital contributions to incentivise change and measure performance. In later sections techniques to measure impact and enable learning are provided.
