Two important trends are shaping the future of development assistance. First, developing countries are ever more able to access finance from a wider variety of sources including private ones. Second, policy makers are increasingly attuned to evidence that can make programs more effective. This means that the value proposition of development agencies, such as the African Development Bank (AfDB), increasingly depends on the ability to offer knowledge, rather than finance alone. A critical element of this knowledge is derived from evidence on the intended and unintended effects of interventions. Impact evaluation is the main means for empirically testing what happens when interventions are implemented.

This training course is intended for a range of audiences with years of experience in implementing impact evaluation studies. 

For Whom: Senior M&E Officers, Managers and Project Coordinators in a range of areas including health, youth work, food and agriculture, refugee work, environmental and natural resource management, education, and gender.
