授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | 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 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 development 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 Diploma Policy and the Curriculum Policy |
