Summer and Winter
Schools are a recent but important addition to the University of Bologna's
educational offer. They are generally organised as intensive courses on
various subjects designed to match specific educational and
professional needs. Summer Schools may last from one to four weeks
and they normally take place in the summer, mostly
outside traditional academic structures.

Planning,
monitoring and evaluation in development programs requires a focus on
national development priorities. The definition and measurement of
intended results should respect the principle of national ownership
and should strengthen both institutional and human capacities for
managing development initiatives. The Course aims at covering new
developments in M&E techniques, like the results-based and
utilization-focused approaches, the developmental evaluation approach
and the outcome mapping approach.
The
Course presents practical steps and examples in applying monitoring
and evaluation methods to strengthen management for development
results. Participants will leave with practical step-by-step
guidance on how to prepare and carry out benchmarking, monitor
outcomes and use information on program and project results to
improve performance. Policy makers, program managers, ministerial
strategy departments, and staff and consultants responsible for M&E
will find this course useful. It presents analytical tools solidly
grounded in economic theory applied to the practical questions of
monitoring and evaluating policy programs in developing countries.
