Evaluation training material
Evaluating humanitarian action
ALNAP first developed training modules in 2001 as a way of sharing knowledge and good practice identified through its research activities. The modules were updated in 2003 and 2007.
The material has been further updated in collaboration with Channel Research for a course organised by Channel Research in November 2009.
The material is available to all free of charge, to aid those providing courses on the evaluation of humanitarian action. The materials are not a definitive set of ideas: you may want to add further training materials or activities, and introduce your own organisation's policies, procedures and models.
It may be possible for the ALNAP secretariat to put you in touch with a facilitator to teach your course. All contractual arrangements between your organisation and the facilitator are your own responsibility.
ALNAP would appreciate any feedback on the content and usability of these materials - alnap@alnap.org
