About

This training course is targeted at Australian Government policy and program officers who want to understand how to plan for, and commission an evaluation. This includes scoping and addressing design constraints, developing program logics and evaluation questions, and being an informed customer when approaching the market. It also covers key questions to consider when planning an impact evaluation.
