Evaluation of Humanitarian Action with ALNAP (Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in Humanitarian Action)

14-16 June, 2010

This course is an introductory-to- intermediate level course and has the overall aim of making evaluations of humanitarian action more effective in contributing to the improved performance of interventions and to improve the quality of the evaluation process. This 3-day training course is based on an update of the ALNAP training modules. The course will also introduce some new material, specifically:

  • on joint evaluations: the rationale, experience and learning to date, interwoven throughout the training programme
  • on evaluating policy as well as projects and programmes
  • on innovative learning processes as part of the evaluation process.

Based on ALNAP and Channel Research’s experience of running training programmes on evaluation, this course will be open to evaluators, managers and users of evaluations. It presents an opportunity for learning and exchange between participants from different backgrounds and who play different roles. The course is facilitated by Channel Research, Margie Buchanan Smith and John Cosgrave. It will be held near Brussels.
