This course offers theoretical and hands on knowledge on project evaluation both traditional and innovative approaches that can be applicable to different types of projects.  The goal of the course is to provide students up-to-date tools of program evaluation, particularly on impact assessment.   Students successfully completing this course should be able to understand an evaluation study in great detail and form a well-grounded judgment about its value. Complemented with appropriate technical background or help, they should be able to design an evaluation study best suited for the program and the practical constraints at hand.
