The Virtual Masterclass on Social Impact Measurement and Management: Theory, Concepts and Practical Tools is a 12-hour online masterclass distributed across 4 days in 3-hour modules each. It is designed to provide NGOs, Social Enterprises, CSR Leaders and Academics, insights into the importance of integrating a sound M&E structure into their social projects. The course will take you through important concepts and theories, various types of evaluation designs, focused research tools, and the utilization of M&E results. The course adopts an active learner-oriented pedagogy clubbed with interactive and engaging discussions and practical application of the technical concepts through complimentary worksheets and exercises.

The masterclass will acquaint the participants with the benefits of results-based management to meet the expectations of Donors and other stakeholders effectively.
