In the digital age, public investments in ICT, from broadband rollout to e-government services, digital ID systems, or the adoption of new technologies, are high-stakes and resource-intensive. Ensuring these initiatives deliver real impact requires evidence-based policymaking. This course introduces participants to the fundamentals of public policy analysis, monitoring, and evaluation, with a focus on applications in digital transformation.
Monitoring and evaluation are essential for ICT professionals working in the public sector: they demonstrate accountability to citizens, donors, and partners; generate insights for adapting digital strategies to fast-changing technologies; and ensure that programmes contribute meaningfully to the Sustainable Development Goals.
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.
