Evaluator is most sought after professional in the development sector around the world, today. It helps Governments and development partners to build accountability, efficient use of increasingly scarce resources and good governance in the development process. However, in spite of high importance accorded to this discipline, there are not many regular teaching programs in this arena, leading to dearth of evaluation professionals more particularly in the developing countries.
One year PG (Post Graduate) Diploma in Program Evaluation at Himgiri ZEE University is a maiden effort to fill this void. This course is jointly developed by a group of academic institutions in South Asia known as TESA (Teaching Evaluation in South Asia) with support from several UN and international development organisations.
