授業の目的 【英語】
This course focuses on basic concepts and issues on how projects and programs are evaluated to obtain useful information and knowledge for improving planning, implementation, monitoring and feeding back to next interventions. It is also quite relevant to improve making of public policy as a whole which many students are expected to take part in the future.

Main part of the course is on theoretical as well as practical analysis of planning and evaluation of projects and programs. The course also puts emphasis on developmet of innovative methods for evaluation such as RCT (Randomized Controlled Trial), Revealed/ Stated Preference Method and Capacity Development for Evaluation. The course is expected to be a major part of human resource development programme for independent and active creation of knowledge as proclaimed in the Deploma Policy and the Curriculum Policy

As the lecturer has long experience in working at a Japanese Aid Agency (The Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund now a part of JICA), more emphasis is put on the reality of evaluation, especially applicability pf theories to actual practices. 4 periods are assigned to the Cost Benefit Analysis commonly used in the field of infrastructure development. Students are expected to obtain basic skills for planning and evaluation projects which are indispensable for economic development.
