Overview
The institutional characteristics of the actors involved - be they governments, community-based organisations, international NGOs, bilateral or multilateral donors - are analysed in order to attain a better understanding of processes and outcomes. The theoretical perspective is that development can be understood as a set of interlocking collective action problems. The Master programme offers methodological and practical insight into development evaluation, its relevance and challenges.
The Master in Development Evaluation and Management at the University of Antwerp offers two tracks with specific objectives and courses:
- Track 1: National Institutions, Poverty Reduction Strategies and Aid. This track focuses on the analysis of the interaction between national institutions, local politics and external actors (macro level).
- Track 2: Development Interventions and Local Institutional Change. This track conceptualises socio-political and economic development as the outcome of interactions between a conditioning institutional environment and the agency of local, national and international actors (micro level).
Applicants to this Master programme must show a keen interest in studying and analysing the institutional context in which development interventions take place; in M&E; the design, implementation and evaluation of local/(inter)national development interventions; the role of external actors in development.
