Why do this course?

Development programmes working in complex environments need to understand the context they work in, monitor changes, and adapt their work accordingly. This sounds simple but is challenging in practice. What should we be measuring? What is ‘good enough’ measurement, and how do we attribute change to our programme? And – hardest of all – how do you get decision makers to change their minds?

DevLearn’s online training course answers these questions and more, using the DCED Standard for Results Measurement, a practical framework used by over a hundred programmes worldwide.

During this course, you will:

• Learn how to build a practical, adaptive results measurement system. Understand how to select from different research techniques to measure these indicators, and attribute results to the programme.
• Develop a theory of change showing the logic of an intervention, explore the assumptions that you make in intervention design, and articulate indicators based on the results chain.
• Practice introducing the DCED Standard during a case study. Have your questions answered online by the course facilitator and other experts working in results measurement.

This interactive and participatory course is delivered entirely online. Participants are expected to spend approximately four days working on the course over the entire length, at times that suit you.

Course Activity

The course consists of 5 components:

1. Recorded lectures. You will have access to recorded lectures, which introduce the course material in an interesting, accessible way

2. Weekly live seminars. We run a weekly live seminar to practice what you've learned, share your experiences and learn from other participants and the facilitators.

3. Forum discussions. You can ask (and answer) any questions you want in the forum, and get answers from other participants and the course facilitators.

4. Assessments. There are two assessments, peer-assessed by other course participants and reviewed in the weekly seminars.

5. Expert presentations. In order to support ongoing learning, we organise online expert presentations in topics as diverse as women's economic empowerment, value for money, measuring systemic change, and using results for measurement.

The course typically takes four days to complete over the month, depending on your interest and availability. It is completely flexible (apart from the live seminars) - you can watch the lectures, participate on the forum, and do the assignments whenever you want.
