About this Event

The course

This course provides an introduction to evaluation. It will cover three key types of evaluation: Impact, Process and Value for Money evaluation. The main tools used across all three evaluation types will be considered including evaluation planning, Theory of Change, evaluation questions and methods for data collection.

The course will draw on the Magenta Book (2020) and other sources of good practice e.g., the National Audit Office’s guidance on Value for Money analysis, to demonstrate evaluation techniques and application in practice.


Who should come?

The course is designed for economists and analysts new to evaluation. It is particularly suitable for:

  • Economists or analysts who would benefit from an introductory overview to expand their knowledge on evaluation to support current or future evaluation work.
  • Economists or analysts who are involved in commissioning or reviewing evaluation research now or in future.

Learning outcomes

The course will give you a foundation to support you participating in and commissioning evaluation studies. In particular, the course will enable you to:

  • gain a solid understanding of evaluation tools, methods and applications,
  • develop confidence as an intelligent user of evaluations and build insights into the uses of evaluation,
  • be confident in commissioning evaluation and recognise the key differences between evaluation proposals.

Course delivery

The course will be delivered in person by Dr. Ulrike Hotopp over one day. It will be a highly interactive course and a copy of all slides and materials used will be circulated after the course.
