Course information
Currently there is so much debate over NGO’s need to assess and present the impact of their work. This 2 day workshop provides NGO staff with the knowledge, tools and skills they will need in order to plan or carry out an impact assessment of their projects and programmes. The first day provides a succinct overview of the concept of impact assessment; how it differs from and complements monitoring and evaluation processes; an overview of approaches used to assess impact, and a short case study to illustrate and experiment with these ideas.
The second day enables participants to develop appropriate tools for the assessment of impact and provides guidance about how to develop a system for assessing the impact of their development or humanitarian interventions.
Learning Outcomes:
• Develop a common understanding of what is meant by impact assessment; and how it differs from and complements the processes of monitoring and evaluation.
• Identify key challenges that they face in conducting impact assessments
• Work with pre-selected case studies to design an impact assessment process
• Consider how the results of impact assessments might be used in learning, reporting and being more accountable to both donors and stakeholders
• Identify ways in which learning will be taken forward from this workshop.
