Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning from Policy Engagement - Part 1
Putting in place effective processes for learning is key to getting better at policy engagement, and to meeting some of the demands we face to demonstrate the impact of our work. But what tools and resources can we use – and how do we use them?

To help researchers answer these questions, the Policy Engagement Team is offering this short course, comprising two parts, each lasting 2 hours.

In Part 1, participants will engage in small-group and plenary activities. They will learn about effective techniques for monitoring, evaluation, and learning related to policy engagement. These concepts are then applied through drafting a theory of change.

Supplementary materials, including PowerPoint slides, handouts, and recommended reading and resources will be provided to participants, further embedding the concepts covered.
