Course Description
Program evaluation is the systematic collection of data about program characteristics, outcomes and impacts to document the merit or worth of a specific program, and is a fundamental component of program planning, implementation, and improvement. The growing demand for programmatic efficiency and accountability has increased the need for public health professionals skilled in program evaluation. This course introduces the concepts and functions of program evaluation, and will provide practical experience in translating concepts into application for actual programs. Course materials, examples and exercises will draw on programs implemented in resource-rich and resource-limited settings.
