Water Stewardship (Short Course)
School of International Development, University of East Anglia (DEV)
The course provides participants with a comprehensive grounding in the rationale and evolution of water stewardship to address shared water security challenges, as well as the principle strategies and tools used to implement water stewardship plans in practice. It will offer insights gained from our combined contributions to many of the aspects that make up water stewardship, including integrated water resources management, water risk analysis, water accounting, water policy and regulation and stakeholder engagement. Specific case studies will broaden the discussion of water issues from sector- or business-specific concerns to a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges and drivers of water issues across government, private sector, civil society and local communities. Course sessions will include a combination of concepts, tools and case studies through both taught and practical sessions, through which participants will be able to discuss and compare their experiences. The course is designed to allow an ample and secure space for discussion of and expert feedback on participants' own experiences, strategies and challenges with regard to designing and implementing water stewardship for the diverse supply chains and contexts in which they work.School of International Development, University of East Anglia (DEV), United Kingdom
Strengthening National M&E Capacities: National Evaluation Societies as a Driving Force
The importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in the area of development is widely acknowledged and may be understood from its two major objectives, i.e. learning and accountability. M&E is a crucial ingredient in the move towards more evidence-based iterative policy-making and implementation (learning) and, in hands of non-governmental actors, M&E functions as an instrument of accountability. However, establishing well-functioning country-owned M&E systems and arrangements is considered a major challenge (see e.g. the annual Paris Declaration Monitoring Surveys). One of the actors which has largely been neglected in this context, so far, are National Evaluation Societies (NES) or Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPE). NES/VOPE are organizations which bring together M&E practitioners and experts from different settings (government, NGO, parliament, universities, donors) and which can play an important role in strengthening national M&E capacities and use of M&E.
Institute of Development Policy and Management, University of Antwerp (IOB)
This two-week evaluation capacity development (ECD) seminar funded by the Belgian Development Cooperation’s Special Evaluation Office (SEO) aims to bring together leading evaluation experts (members of National Evaluation Societies, VOPEs) in developing countries to strengthen those evaluation societies in taking up the role of developing national M&E capacities and use. More specifically, this seminar will enable 25 evaluation experts – who are members of national evaluation societies – to become driving forces in strengthening their national M&E systems and their own evaluation societies.The importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in the area of development is widely acknowledged and may be understood from its two major objectives, i.e. learning and accountability.
