Description:

This course's objective is to equip participants with skills for conducting impact evaluations, with a special focus on youth employment programmes. This training will combine sessions for discussion on fundamental concepts related to youth and women employment interventions, sessions focused on properties of different techniques for impact evaluation and exercises with a statistical software for applying the techniques to real data. Offered jointly by ITC-ILO and IFAD, this course course on monitoring and evaluation of employment programmes, with a particular focus on interventions targeted at women and rural youth, will be delivered as part of an IFAD-financed project, “Strengthening gender monitoring and evaluation in rural employment in the Near East and North Africa.” Upon completion, it is expected that participants will: 

• Have deepened their understanding of employment indicators relevant for young people and reviewed the most typical designs of youth employment promotion interventions; 
  
• Have improved or updated their knowledge of quantitative impact evaluation concepts and methods; 
  
• Have reviewed and tested impact evaluation methods and techniques; 
  
• Have applied the different quantitative techniques to real data and interpreted the results; 
  
• Be in a position to identify the most pertinent type of impact evaluation technique, taking into account specific characteristics of the programme design and data needs.
