Description
This course develops an original perspective on policy evaluation by combining a presentation of the key methods and required skills needed to be a good evaluator with a reflection on the politics and institutional organization of evaluation. Practicing policy evaluation requires a particular set of skills, which are not only methodological but also include the capacity to reflect on values, identify stakeholders and organize their participation to favour evaluation use. However, the evaluation practice can also be enriched by reflexivity on its political and institutional dimensions: who conducts evaluations? What are the political stakes underpinning evaluation practices? How is evaluation institutionalized in different contexts? Combining inputs from policy evaluation and policy analysis, this course reflects both on the practice and politics of evaluation. The course will interest students keen on working in the field of policy evaluation in the public or private sector, as well as more research-oriented students.
