Exploring CSO Collaboration in Three Countries
The role of civil society cannot be overlooked. Different waves of developmental changes have created stark changes in the demand and supply levers of the political economy and in this sense, civil society holds a crucial role in the promotion of good governance through the rule of law and human development. Ensuring the sustainability and credibility of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) is a challenge in an immensely policy-influenced world., where the relationship that civil society has to the state, is endogenous to successful results and evidence-based outputs, which positively affect wider systemic outcomes.

(more…)Demand and Supply of Evaluators: A South African Perspective
What’s the situation?
Twende Mbele has embarked on a project to examine the demand and supply of evaluators. Evaluations are becoming part and parcel of public service, with an estimated growth in demand of at least 300% over the next three years. Given that the South African government outsources its evaluators, it is important to gauge if the current supply of evaluators is able to meet the growing demand and whether it will be able to maintain the quality required over the next three years.

Institutionalising evaluations among African Countries: what do we learn from each other?
“Since the early 1990s, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) has seen a steep climb within Africa, in terms of practice, profession and academic study. As a field of practice, specialized departments housing the practitioners now exist and the demand for evaluation of policies, projects, programmes and interventions remains on the increase. Legal and institutional frameworks for the practices of M&E are still weak”. Basheka and Byamugisha 2015
(more…)Online Theory of Change Course
Does monitoring and evaluation seem too technical? Are you grappling with logframes and indicators that don’t adequately tell the story of your programme?
A Theory of Change (ToC) approach can help you situate complex social and development interventions. It is both a process and a product for explaining the various contributors to change, and the multiple levels of outcomes that result from programme implementation.
This course will provide public and development managers, monitoring and evaluation practitioners, donor agencies, NGOs, academics, and other stakeholders with a toolkit to interrogate the process of change that they are engaged in.
The course will introduce you to theory of change approaches and principles.
It will give you the tools to both understand existing theories of change, and develop your own.
This course will run from 1-19 November 2017. Register at edX.org
