GLBH 612 GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM MONITORING & EVALUATION II
This course builds upon Program Evaluation and Monitoring 1 by engaging students in using a health program monitoring and evaluation framework to design credible and feasible global health needs assessments, implementation monitoring systems, and outcome evaluations that involve stakeholders as appropriate. There is a more in-depth analysis of qualitative and quantitative methods including study design and question development frequently used in global health program evaluations. Students learn the importance of an ethical approach to involving stakeholders throughout the monitoring and evaluation cycle that demonstrates integrity and respects people from different cultural backgrounds and communities. Through case studies students will evaluate whether program designs, analyses, and evidence are credible and conclusions are justified. They will propose how to communicate and use findings and shared lessons learned to improve the health of global communities.
