Many students have expressed interest in taking the M&E course. In order to accomodate them, we have added another section of IH745 for all IH Concentrators.
This new section will be taught by Assistant Professor Nafisa Halim and will take place on Fridays from 2 to 5pm in the fall semester. Sign up on Student Link today!
Description of the course: There is consensus within the international public health community that inadequate project monitoring and evaluation (M&E) represents a major constraint in programmatic efforts to address the problems we face. The absence of sound M&E processes in large numbers of public health projects, despite continued evidence of their value in assessing and improving project performance, suggests that many project planners and managers may not yet have the necessary skills or understanding to develop and operate such systems. This course is designed to help address this need. This course provides a detailed analysis of program monitoring and evaluation with an emphasis on public health and nutrition-related projects. By reading relevant literature and using case studies, students will gain an understanding of the language and tools of program evaluation. The course will focus both on theory and practical utilization, and will consist of presentations, discussions, and applied exercises involving the preparation and critiquing of monitoring and evaluation plans.
Prerequisites: Biostatistics and Epidemiology core courses.
