Thank you for sharing this! I have applied and I am anticipating new knowledge!

I have done three of the online courses, and have learned a lot of new things.  It is a great way t deepen your knowledge about some of the many aspects of evaluation. I particularly enjoyed the gender and equity evaluation. Moving on to the course in Spanish now, to mak sure i have the right terminology there as well. Thanks to the organisers for offering it again! Highly recommend it. Thanks Rituu for posting!
