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.

Learning outcomes
A better understanding of the foundational concepts of monitoring and evaluation, including the principles and methodologies used to assess policy engagement outcomes.
More proficiency to develop a theory of change, and to track outcomes and impacts.

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

In Part 2, participants will expand their understanding of tracking outputs and impacts throughout the project cycle by utilizing pertinent tools and techniques. They will put their knowledge into practice by applying one of the previously reviewed tools within the context of a case study.
