How can program evaluation training improve your organization's professional development plan?

1 Enhance your program management competencies

Program evaluation training can help you improve your program management competencies, such as defining program goals and objectives, designing program logic models and theories of change, selecting appropriate evaluation methods and tools, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting and disseminating findings. By learning how to apply these competencies in different contexts and settings, you can increase your confidence and credibility as a program manager. You can also demonstrate your ability to deliver high-quality programs that meet the needs and expectations of your beneficiaries, funders, and partners.

2 Increase your stakeholder engagement and communication

Program evaluation training can help you increase your stakeholder engagement and communication skills, which are essential for successful program management. By learning how to identify and involve relevant stakeholders in the evaluation process, you can build trust and collaboration among your team members, beneficiaries, funders, and partners. You can also learn how to communicate the purpose, scope, and results of the evaluation in a clear, concise, and compelling way. You can use different formats and channels, such as reports, presentations, infographics, and stories, to tailor your messages to different audiences and purposes.
