We are excited to launch the interactive online course: “Impact Evaluation: Methods, Advocacy, and Scalability” now available for free on the Edraak platform.

This course was originally delivered in person in Amman between 19–23 January 2025, with participation from key education stakeholders in Jordan. The content is now available to everyone through a high-quality, self-paced MOOC designed with Arabic-speaking learners in mind—including with Arabic subtitles and platform settings to support accessibility.

This course is led by Professor Howard White, a global leader in impact evaluation who brings over 30 years of experience at institutions such as the World Bank, the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), and the Campbell Collaboration.

Organized by the Queen Rania Foundation (QRF), and funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), BHP Foundation and QRF, the course is designed to build practical knowledge on how to measure what works in education and social programs. It explores not just evaluation methods like Randomised Control Trials ( RCTs) and quasi-experiments, but also how to use evidence effectively, engage stakeholders, and scale what works.

Who is this course for?

• Participants with some prior exposure to monitoring and evaluation, quantitative research, or policy analysis who are ready to deepen their skills.
• Professionals working in or with the education sector, including government, NGOs, universities, and development partners.
• Participants interested in strengthening their understanding of evidence-based decision-making.

What will you gain?

• A deep understanding of impact evaluation fundamentals.
• Tools to apply rigorous methods in your context.
• Strategies for promoting the use of evidence in policymaking.
• Insights into scaling successful interventions.

You’ll learn how to design and interpret evaluations, promote the use of evidence, and make decisions that lead to real and measurable improvements in education.
