Strengthening National Monitoring and Evaluation Capacities: National Evaluation Societies as a Driving Force
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. 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.

This course introduces results-oriented project planning and monitoring in the field of development cooperation. Participants work through the different steps of project planning, using the logical framework approach, and learn how to design and implement monitoring. Practical examples and experience illustrate the steps of the project management cycle ranging from inception to project steering and reporting. Exercises and examples from the field encourage student participation and peer learning.Duration: 23.09. – 27.09.2019

International Joint Master of Science Regional Development Planning and Management
SPRING places its emphasis on development management at an intermediate level (e.g. district) between macro-regional and community-based planning. Development planning is seen as a problem-oriented management tool with the following objectiv to identify development problems, trends, resources, constraints and potentials; to formulate development objectives, policies and strategies; to design plans and programmes; to assess environmental impacts of plans and programmes; to organise target group participation and decision-making processes; to apply instruments for programme implementation and management and to evaluate and monitor plans and programmes.
SPRING, Fakultät Raumplanung, Universität Dortmund (ISPC / SPRING)
SPRING (Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies) is a two year Master´s degree programme that addresses up to date topics of spatial planning in developing countries. In lectures, participants of the SPRING Programme discuss for instance the rapid growth of megacities, searching for solutions in the conflict between environmental protection and economic development as well as dealing with strategies to improve traffic systems. The course starts with one year of study in Dortmund, Germany, followed by a second year at one of the four partner universities in Asia, Africa or Latin America. At TU Dortmund University SPRING is with now more than 25 years the oldest Master course and was the first one being conducted in English. SPRING combines teaching in development theories and strategies, planning concepts and methods, and implementation and monitoring tools with practice-orientated field studies aimed at elaborating regional development plans and programmes in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The programme content is oriented by the specific socio-economic problems in the developing world.SPRING places its emphasis on development management at an intermediate level (e.g. district) between macro-regional and community-based planning.
