Course description
Effective evaluation and appraisal are crucial elements of the project and programme development lifecycle, and should form part of the development and planning of an intervention from the start. They help to inform how scarce public resources should be invested; assist in measuring the anticipated impacts and returns; and support the responsible and transparent management of these resources.
This one-day course provides an accessible introduction into economic appraisal and evaluation, helping participants to understand key concepts, as well as recognising good practice and pitfalls.
The course assumes no formal training in economics but would ideally suit people working – or with some experience – in economic development or an economic policy environment.
Suitable for individuals working in economic development or an economic policy environment who are looking to carry out economic appraisals and evaluation exercises or are seeking to commission such work from consultants. In particular this course will support individuals that are involved in the development of HM Treasury Green Book compliant Business Cases (“five case model”) for City and Regional Deals. It is also suitable for individuals who, whilst not directly involved in economic evaluation and appraisal exercises, may be operating at a more strategic level where best value and financial accountability is key.
