Wageningen UR Center for Development Innovation (CDI) will conduct short term course “Monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment of food and nutrition security programmes” from 6 June 2016 to 24 June 2016 in the Netherlands.
In this course participants will learn what a M&E system for food and nutrition security entails. Emphasis will be placed on what steps are needed within the M&E system to facilitate impact assessment. The course stresses the need for careful selection of indicators in designing information support systems. A scientific basis is used for analysis and interpretation of M&E data to be able to design strong policy on food and nutrition security.
The course is targeted at professionals from the field of food and nutrition security. Highly skilled experts will facilitate the course to ensure participants will obtain sufficient knowledge. The training approach is interactive, experience- as well as evidence-based. Transfer of knowledge will go hand-in-hand with working in international groups or individually on case studies. This course is given together with Wageningen University, Division of Human Nutrition.
