The course offers a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of all aspects that practitioners need to set up a practical results measurement system for internal learning and communicating credible results.
The course will draw on the DCED Standard for Results Measurement, a practical framework, based on proven good practice, to improve programme performance and enable you to communicate credible results.
Course objectives
- By the end of the course you will be able to set up a practical results measurement system.
- You will practice how to develop realistic causal models, and how these results chains can be used to project impact, identify indicators, develop measurement plans and validate your assumptions.
- You will learn to make trade-offs between the different research tools, how to analyse results, use the information for decision-making, and how to ensure the credibility of the final result.
