GEI Training and Professional Development Programs

Objective(s): provide a comprehensive introduction to the concepts in measurement theory and quantitative survey design.

Scope: the programme covers the practical and theoretical aspects of collecting high-quality data, particularly for concepts that are difficult to measure, through an array of pedagogical tools including lectures, case studies, and experiential exercises.

Objective(s): equip participants with a better understanding of the potential and underlying challenges, to develop their policy skills for building and managing more productive partnerships with policy actors, and ultimately, to lead better and well-supported policy reforms with high impact.

Objective(s): teach participants the history and purpose of results-based management, comparing it with alternative models of public management; explain the three main stages of RBM (planning, monitoring, evaluation) and the different activities related to each; and train participants on the main practical tools of RBM (logical framework including target objectives, indicators and hypotheses, monitoring dashboard and evaluation questions).

Objective(s): Offer a more advanced level training for evaluators and participants of the basic PIFED program who wish to deepen their knowledge of evaluation by focusing on a specific subject or method. The three specialized modules are the following: Implementation of a monitoring and evaluation system, Evaluation of complex interventions, and No one left behind: equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluations in the context of the SDGs.
Note: participants may register for a single module or multiple modules (2 or all 3).

Objective(s): help participants build necessary perspectives and skills on why and how to conduct gender transformative evaluations, introduces participants to the concepts of both gender and evaluation and enable them to bring in a critical gender transformative lens when conducting evaluations.
