There is growing recognition that relevant, evidence-based digital policy making is key to achieving significant and sustainable change and fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this course, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of public policy analysis tools used commonly throughout the world. Monitoring and evaluation of policies and projects is often required by international organizations, NGOs, and national governments to produce meaningful, rigorous, evidence-based recommendations based on the outcomes of existing programmes, as well as an essential part of accountability to donors and affected populations. It is therefore imperative for anyone interested in the realm of public policy for digital technology to have a grasp of what it means to conduct rigorous evaluations.
The course is divided into four units. The first unit is an introduction to public policy analysis. In the second unit students are introduced in greater detail to the monitoring process and relevant tools. Units three and four are dedicated to the description of impact evaluation methods and their practical application with cases related to digitalisation
