Global Directory of Academic Programs in Evaluation

This program is intended to provide learners with knowledge to conceptualize programs within the logic framework, develop M&E indicators, monitoring systems, develop evaluation plans for programs, conduct research and evaluations and advocate for the utilization of M&E for evidence-based decision making.

The primary objective of this program is to equip learners from a variety of sectors with the knowledge and skills to successfully plan, implement and manage monitoring and evaluation systems from initiation to close-out.
The hands-on program presents practical steps, examples, and exercises in applying M&E concepts and tools. Participants will work in groups to apply these concepts in an integrated manner, enabling them to plan, monitor, and evaluate their interventions, be accountable, and improve performance.

This program provides training to students who require knowledge and skills in monitoring and evaluation methods. It is aimed at professionals and other individuals who are tasked with the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programs. Students complete five assignments and a research assignment.

The MPhil program focuses on the history and theory of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) as a developing 'discipline' in its own right, which is practiced within various contexts. M&E has its own approaches and models, sets of designs and methodologies and domains of implementation. This program offers a comprehensive and focused curriculum on the theory, methodology, and practice of M&E. Students complete eight (six compulsory and two optional) modules, as well as a research assignment.

The two-year doctoral program aims to meet the demand for high-level and scarce skills in Monitoring and Evaluation studies on the African continent. At this level, the aim is to ensure that a new generation of evaluation scholars is trained to ensure that the growing professionalisation of the field is sustained and that a tradition of high-quality scholarship in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in Africa is established and further expanded. The successful completion of the program involves a good grasp of the theoretical and methodological demands of scholarship in the field that culminates in a novel and original contribution to the field in the form of a substantive dissertation and subsequent journal articles.

This program aims to strengthen capacity in management, monitoring and evaluation. It is a response to government’s demand for personnel who can accurately measure outputs and outcomes of its interventions as a way of enhancing evidence-based decision-making. Scarcity of local personnel with these and other related skills translates into government sourcing these skills internationally, which is often expensive, untimely, and not customized.

The Masters in Management are designed to test student's ability to design and carry out a complex problem solving task within a well-articulated analytical and conceptual framework. Graduates will have a strong foundation in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, and the ability to synthesize knowledge from multiple disciplines. Wits School of Governance believes that our degree cultivates policy practitioners, researchers and policy analysts that make a difference.

This program is tailored for development practitioners seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in the fields of development monitoring, evaluation, planning, and management. This program provides students with the essential tools and techniques to excel in their careers.
