EvalPartners, UNWomen and IOCE, in cooperation with UNEG, OECD/DAC EvalNet and Ministry of Foreign affair, Finland,  are pleased to announce the launch of its latest e-Learning course on Advocating for Evaluation as part of the broader e-learning programme in Development Evaluation. This course is particularly important to facilitate countries to develop and implement their own context-specific advocacy strategy to strengthen an enabling environment for evaluation in the Year of evaluation.

The course is based on EvalPartners Evaluation Advocacy Toolkit and includes eight units. Six world level specialists in evaluation and advocacy including senior representatives of the international community, a Member of Parliament and senior evaluation managers teach this course. The units and presenters are as follows:

The e-learning course is free and open to all interested evaluators. You may attend virtually from your personal or work computer anywhere in the world. The course includes on-line lectures, reading material and tests. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in an on-line forum, and on successful completion of the e-learning course will be able to print out a certificate of virtual attendance.
