Key topics include the construction and use of Theory of Change and Logical Framework Matrices, result chains, performance indicators, risk assessment, and contextual factors. The course covers evaluation approaches such as utilization-focused evaluation, the design of evaluation matrices, and formulation of evaluation questions, along with the selection of appropriate evaluation designs. Participants will gain practical skills in identifying data sources, applying data collection methods, designing sampling strategies, and conducting qualitative and quantitative analyses, while considering ethical issues, gender aspects, and data protection. The course emphasizes hands-on learning through workshops where participants apply concepts to case studies, construct evaluation plans, and develop actionable recommendations. By the end of the course, participants will be able to design, implement, and critically assess evaluations of international development projects, linking theoretical knowledge with practical application in a professional context.
