Impact Measurement & Evaluation for Sust

In a world driving towards the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, the measurement and evaluation (M&E) toolkit is critical for holding governments, philanthropies, impact investors and others accountable for creating benefit, preventing harm and contributing to effective solutions. During this course, we will explore both the demand and supply side of generating data and evidence for decision-making in the 21st century. We will also learn practical M&E skills that can be applied across all professions and thematic sectors and that are tailored to meet the needs of diverse stakeholders. Finally, we will ground-truth concepts and theories through discussions with experts and practitioners as well as place-based use cases (primarily from Asia and Africa) of the challenges and opportunities in measuring and evaluating impact. Students can expect to develop the critical skills needed to ensure they are able to navigate, negotiate and facilitate their way to a quality measurement and evaluation plan.
