Evaluating and Managing for Sustainable Development Impact
The development landscape has become increasingly complex over the last few decades. Many of the issues we face today, such as climate change, poverty, and conflict, call for a new way of doing business, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Managing for Sustainable Development Impact (M4SDI) approach, which is central to this short course, supports leaders and development practitioners in navigating this complexity and managing initiatives/organizations successfully toward sustainable development impact.
What will you learn?
In this course, which focuses on the M4SDI approach, you learn:
- To use an integrated, results-oriented management approach that can be used across a range of sectors and domains, in a variety of contexts;
- How to engage primary stakeholders;
- Designing effective strategies and relate monitoring and evaluation (M&E), focussing on capacity development and responding to change in a complex context.
During this course you first of all strengthen your competency to manage for impact in your sphere of work. Secondly, it helps you play a more effective role in helping your organisation manage for sustainable development impact. Please find a more detailed course programme overview below.
