Course Overview

Society can only ensure economic development by improving the quality of life for the underprivileged. To do that, intervention in various sectors, including education, health, transport, agriculture, microfinance, etc., is required. The Impact Evaluation Methods with Applications in Low and Middle-Income Countries programme by edX will equip you with the statistical and experimental tools necessary to measure the impact of such interventions. 

The Impact Evaluation Methods with Applications course will teach you how to design and conduct a Randomised Control Trial, how to use regression techniques, and other quasi-experimental methods to collect and evaluate data. That way, you will be able to determine which policies and innovations work, and which do not. 

International development practitioners and policy-makers, when equipped with this information, can accelerate the development process and improve the quality of life for those who are deprived. The Impact Evaluation Methods with Applications Programme is brought to you by Georgetown University and uses the Standard Policy Evaluation Toolkit, as recognised in the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics. 

The self-paced programme provides two tracks for students to pursue it; the paid certificate track and the free audit track. In the free audit mode, the candidates will be given access only for a limited duration.
