Starting with the outcomes and indicators of success, this module will progress through examples of different types of evaluations and explore how each is best suited to answer specific research questions. You will also learn practical skills such as understanding the resource requirements to implement different evaluation designs and the implications of different evaluations for communicating with different stakeholder groups.

By the end of the module students will be able to:  

  • Demonstrate the appropriate use and interpretation of different types of evaluation and measurement tools and methods, aligned with the intended goals of the evaluation and adapted to evolving contexts and needs.  
  • Critically appraise diverse evaluation plans with respect to their intended endpoints and analyse the key components and stages of the health programme evaluation process.  
  • Design data collection tools and techniques that align with the specific objectives of evaluating a health programme intervention.  
  • Evaluate the influence of contextual, resource and other factors on the effectiveness and implementation of evaluations.
