Content
Demonstrating the impact and effectiveness of aid projects, programmes and policies is of central importance to development and humanitarian organisations and informs evidence-based approaches to decision-making. The unit first questions why there is often a disconnect between evidence and decision-making and looks at how local or indigenous forms of knowledge can be incorporated into knowledge frameworks. The unit will support students in developing skills and approaches to monitor, evaluate and undertake research in development and humanitarian settings, which is invaluable for those aiming to work in these sectors The unit explores tools, approaches and frameworks for monitoring and evaluation and examines the role of monitoring and evaluation as part of the project cycle. It provides both a theoretical and practical overview of debates related to development and humanitarian impact and effectiveness. Participatory approaches to evaluation are highlighted and students will be provided with practical assessments that will prepare them for possible roles as development and/or humanitarian monitoring, evaluation and research consultants.
