Registration Now Open for Collaborative Program Evaluation Course with QF Partners Georgetown and HBKU
Georgetown University in Qatar, in partnership with the HBKU College of Public Policy, is offering an Executive Education Certificate course to drive improvements around program efficiency and outcomes titled “What Works? Program Evaluation Techniques for Policy Managers.”
Combining the expertise and resources of two leading QF-partner institutions, the 4-day evaluation course will be delivered online and will run June 29 through July 2, 2020, from 10:00 am to 12:30pm. It is aimed at managers who supervise staff engaged in program evaluation activities, professionals who advise policymakers, and analysts at research organizations, government agencies, and nonprofits who seek to develop a more rigorous understanding of program evaluation techniques.
Dr. Leslie Pal, Founding Dean of the HBKU College of Public Policy, said: “Through our collaboration with Georgetown University in Qatar, we are pleased to announce a learning opportunity that aims to build capacity in Qatar through hands-on training that gives organizations and institutions a better understanding of the role and purpose of program evaluations.”
“Now more than ever, program evaluations are crucial to evaluate an organization’s programs in order to determine the effectiveness and impact of invested resources. This evaluation process is also a key opportunity to gather feedback for improvements and to guide the decision-making process, “says Rodolph Boughaba, the Associate Dean for Executive Education at GU-Q, adding that “a clear understanding of how to evaluate that data is required to achieve these benefits, and this is what our course will provide.”
Now open for registration, the course will be taught by leading experts Dr. Adam Thomas, who teaches courses in quantitative methods and microeconomics at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy in Washington, DC, and Dr. Anis Ben Brik, Associate Professor at HBKU College of Public Policy.
No prior experience in program evaluation is required to enroll in the course; instructors will be following a “ground-up” approach, under the assumption that participants are learning the material for the first time.
