Design monitoring and evaluation systems for organizational learning and policy development.
The nature of development work — regionally, nationally or internationally — requires accountable, efficient programs that can measure the impacts of their interventions. Offered through Clark University’s Department of Sustainability and Social Justice (SSJ), the monitoring and evaluation certification ensures that current and aspiring community development and international development practitioners can take multiple perspectives, paradigms, and disciplines into account when developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating major projects, development programs, and intervention strategies.
Unlike most evaluation programs, which focus on education or psychological assessment, we prepare you to work across a range of programmatic areas, including youth work, food and agriculture, refugee work, land tenure and natural resource management, education and gender.
