MSER 525 - Monitoring and Evaluation (3)

Interest in evidence-based policy and programming has become widespread in numerous sectors, including public health, education, economic development, and environmental policy. Generation of this evidence requires that those implementing social policies and programs engage in monitoring and evaluation to identify and understand their impacts. This course covers the dominant frameworks and tools used in monitoring and evaluation; the art and science of causal inference; and the experimental, quasi-experimental, and mixed-methods used in impact evaluation, with specific applications to evaluating the impacts of interventions designed to build climate resilience.
