Objectives:

This short course will expose participants to impact evaluation (IE) of programmes, projects, and policies (using econometric methods) in the environmental and development economics arena. Evaluation of programmes – be it before programmes and projects are designed, or after they are implemented – is increasingly viewed as critical for learning about what works and what does not, and for raising overall accountability in public policy. There is sparse but growing literature on the application of IE methods to climate change, household energy, water and air pollution control, sanitation and hygiene, livelihoods, and forest conservation policies, including in the SANDEE research community.

Application Procedure:

Eligible and interested candidates are requested to email a one-page CV and an application with a short letter of interest (as one pdf document) explaining the relevance of this course to their research and teaching indicating the category they are applying for (SANDEE scholarship or paid) to Neesha Pradhan (neeshap@sandeeonline.org) no later than 22 October 2018.

Application deadline: 22 October 2018
