About this Course
Overview
Looking to leverage data to enhance your global health program? This course teaches you how to systematically collect, analyze, and apply data to real-world challenges.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a critical element of any successful health program. M&E enables programs to track and demonstrate progress, as well as diagnose programs to enable better results. Participants who complete this course come away with improved understanding of the necessary tools to develop and implement M&E frameworks for their global health programs.
Through practical case studies, interactive activities, and real-world insights from M&E experts in global health, you’ll gain a comprehensive approach to designing M&E plans for diverse health settings. Course topics include M&E models and frameworks, indicators, design and deployment of M&E plans, quantitative and qualitative data collection, data verification methods, M&E assessment designs, and ethical considerations. By the end of this course, participants will have the tools to develop an M&E framework tailored to the needs of their particular health program and the knowledge to apply it rigorously in field settings.
Format
Participants watch video lectures, complete case studies, quizzes, practical assignments, and readings, and post in discussion forums. This is equivalent to a graduate-level course.
You can participate in this course as an independent participant or as part of a site with 5 or more people. Participating as a site group provides a forum for discussing course concepts and applying them to local context and customs. If you are participating independently, the online discussion boards provide a forum for these types of discussion.
Eligibility
The course is aimed at public health and healthcare professionals. While this is a foundational level course, it will be very technically focused. Successful participants should be familiar with technical terms within this field. You’ll also be more successful with an advanced level of English language fluency, as writing assignments are required.
Enrollment Fees
You can enroll in this course as part of a registered site group or you can apply as an independent participant.
If part of a site group, your site coordinator will manage your group’s enrollment fee. You may be asked to contribute towards this site fee.
If an independent participant, you will be invoiced based on details and preferences you note in your application. OECD*/LMIC** rates are based on your current location. Invoices are sent soon after the application period is over.
For site groups made up of participants from a high-income country (OECD*), the fee is determined by how many people are in your group. For groups of 16-50 people, the fee is $3500 USD. However, for smaller groups (OECD*), we offer a discounted rate of $300 USD per person.
For site groups made up of participants from a low-middle income country (LMIC**) we further discount the site rate down to $1750 USD for groups of at least 5 people (with a cap of 50 people for this course).
For site groups that may have a mix of both LMIC** and OECD* participants, the fee is based on the LMIC** rate (of $1750 USD) plus $300 USD per OECD* participant. However, if it is more economical, a flat rate of $3500 USD is also an option. Please inquire with us if you have questions about the fees at your site.
