How can we know if international development work is making any difference? Create an inventory of evaluation and monitoring methods and tools for practitioners. Discuss the role of culture, colonialism, power, ethics and sustainability in the evaluation process from southern and northern perspectives. Analyze case studies and practise writing your own evaluation. Contribute your own ideas for "doing development" better by incorporating the beneficiaries’ voices into evaluations.
Prerequisites for this course are Culture, Communication and Development and Dimensions of Development, OR at least 2 years of experience working in international development.
