Academic Year 2026/2027

  • Teaching Mode: In-person learning (entirely or partially)
  • Campus: Ravenna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in International Cooperation on Human Rights and Intercultural Heritage (cod. 6808)

Learning outcomes

The workshop will introduce how monitoring and evaluation (M&E) – also known as Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) – works theoretically and practically. The workshop will move from models underpinning the MEL system and its conceptualisation to the operationalisation by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC) and other international organisations. It will analyse the main steps and practicalities of a MEL process, from the M&E design to the final evaluation. Ethical issues, conflict sensitivity and the recent debate on decolonising M&E will also be critically analysed and discussed. At the end of the workshop, students will be equipped with basic knowledge of the M&E systems. They will also have an understanding of how M&E is implemented by the main international organisations (World Bank, European Union, United Nations, etc.) and non-governmental organisations in different sectors (humanitarian, development and peacebuilding).
