About this Course
Overview
Looking to leverage data to enhance your global health program? This course teaches you how to systematically collect, analyze, and apply data to real-world challenges.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a critical element of any successful health program. M&E enables programs to track and demonstrate progress, as well as diagnose programs to enable better results. Participants who complete this course come away with improved understanding of the necessary tools to develop and implement M&E frameworks for their global health programs.
Through practical case studies, interactive activities, and real-world insights from M&E experts in global health, you’ll gain a comprehensive approach to designing M&E plans for diverse health settings. Course topics include M&E models and frameworks, indicators, design and deployment of M&E plans, quantitative and qualitative data collection, data verification methods, M&E assessment designs, and ethical considerations. By the end of this course, participants will have the tools to develop an M&E framework tailored to the needs of their particular health program and the knowledge to apply it rigorously in field settings.
Format
Participants watch video lectures, complete case studies, quizzes, practical assignments, and readings, and post in discussion forums. This is equivalent to a graduate-level course.
You can participate in this course as an independent participant or as part of a site with 5 or more people. Participating as a site group provides a forum for discussing course concepts and applying them to local context and customs. If you are participating independently, the online discussion boards provide a forum for these types of discussion.
