Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this course

The goal is to equip you with the skills to design and implement impact evaluations (IE) within an M&E framework. You'll learn to scientifically measure the causal effects of your projects to build a strong evidence base.
IE is a specialized type of evaluation that measures the changes a project causes. The training focuses on comparing outcomes in a target group with what would have happened without the intervention, using a control group.
While traditional M&E tracks progress and assesses performance, IE measures the causal effect of an intervention. The training emphasizes IE's unique ability to answer the question, "did the project cause this change?"
You'll learn to develop an IE plan, select appropriate evaluation methods, collect and analyze data, and communicate your findings. The training focuses on a professional and rigorous approach to evaluation.
You'll learn about methods like randomized control trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental designs, and difference-in-differences analysis. The training focuses on selecting the most appropriate method for your project and budget.
