Methodology

Interactive training: introduce key concepts, principles, and frameworks for impact measurement.

Case study analysis: examine real-world examples of impact measurement, analyzing both successes and challenges.

Hands-on exercises: practice designing measurement plans, developing indicators, and selecting data collection methods.

Tool demonstrations: explore practical tools for data collection, analysis, and visualization (e.g., survey platforms, statistical software, qualitative analysis tools).

Group project: collaboratively develop an impact measurement plan for a hypothetical or simplified project, applying the course concepts.

Guest lectures: invite practitioners to share their experiences in conducting and utilizing impact evaluations.


Assessment

Quizzes & short assignments: check understanding of core concepts and terminology throughout the course.

Impact measurement plan: develop a detailed impact measurement plan for a self-selected project, demonstrating the ability to apply frameworks, select indicators, and design data collection methods.

Data analysis exercise: analyze a provided dataset (quantitative or qualitative), interpreting results and drawing conclusions about project outcomes.

Report presentation: present key findings from the impact measurement plan or data analysis exercise to peers, demonstrating effective communication of results.

Reflection: a final reflective essay on the learning process, challenges, and how impact measurement can be applied in their future work.

Focus: assessment will emphasize practical application, the ability to design robust measurement plans, interpret data, and effectively communicate findings.
