ILO and J-PAL Course on Evaluating Social Programs
Deadline: 10 October, 2014 (for applying for scholarships) / 17 October, 2014
Open to: academics, evaluators, implementers, researchers, managers and other interested individuals with relevant experience in statistical tools and impact evaluation
Venue: Sharjah, UAE, from 16 to 20 November, 2014
Description
The ILO and J-PAL Executive Education course is a five-day training on evaluating social programs which will provide participants with a thorough understanding of randomized evaluations and pragmatic, step-by-step guidance for conducting their own evaluations. Through a combination of lectures and case studies from real randomized evaluations, the course will focus on the benefits and methods of randomization, choosing an appropriate sample size, and common threats and pitfalls to the validity of the experiment.
While the course is centered around the why, how, and when of randomized evaluations, it will also discuss the importance of a needs assessment, measuring outcomes effectively, quality control, and monitoring methods that are useful for all kinds of evaluations. The course also provides the opportunity to learn from and interact with ILO and J-PAL affiliated researchers and practitioners in the region.
Youth unemployment rates are disproportionality high in many regions of the world, particularly in the Middle East. In the face of this challenge, policymakers and practitioners need more evidence on which social programs work and why, especially for youth labor market programs. This course is intended to equip academics, evaluators, implementers, and researchers with the skills necessary to produce and consume rigorous impact evaluations.
The course will take place at the American University of Sharjah. Information on visas can be found on the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Visa Information page. This page will be updated as more logistical details are to be confirmed.
Eligibility
The training is open to everyone. Managers and researchers from international development organizations, foundations, governments and non-governmental organizations, trained economists are all encouraged to apply. The course places special emphasis on evaluating labor market programs, although professionals from other sectors and backgrounds will find the course useful.
A necessary prerequisite for this course is relevant experience in statistical tools and impact evaluation. Interested applicants who have already participated in a ILO Evaluation Clinic are especially encouraged to apply, as this course will build upon the skills developed in that course.
Costs
All course fees will be covered by the ILO for applicants who are accepted to the course but course participants will need to pay for their travel, accommodation, and visa. There is a limited number of scholarships available to cover travel and accommodation for participants who demonstrate need. If you are interested in applying for one of these scholarships, please complete the application no later than October 10th, 2014. All admission and scholarship decisions will be made on a rolling basis, and participants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
Application
You can apply for the training HERE by providing the required information and submitting your application. Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate from J-PAL. Deadline for applying for a position with scholarship for travel and accommodation is 10 October, 2014.

Youth Forum “New Generation for Eu Enlargement”
Deadline: 29 September 2014
Open to: participants between the ages of 20 and 30 years old, from EU and neigbouring countries.
Venue: 25-30 October 2014, Belgrade, Republic of Serbia
Description
The Youth Forum “New Generation for EU Enlargement” will take place in Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, on 25 and 30 October 2014. This Forum are organized by the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) of the University for Peace established by the United Nations, the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) and Youth Association of Serbia (OSS), with cooperation with Euroregion Nisava and Euroregion Drina. Analyzing the situation in the Balkans and results of projects dealing with cross-border cooperation reconciliation, tolerance and human security as preconditions for maintaining peace in the Balkans, we have concluded that, although the Balkans’ capacity for changes and innovations in the area of cross-border cooperation at the local and regional level is constantly growing, the analysis shows that there is a lack of young leaders in the border areas who can initiate and implement the cross-border projects and prepare the new generation for the EU Enlargement. Cross-border cooperation is one of the crucial factors influencing the achievements of the economics, social and territorial cohesion within Europe, especially relating to the borders between the new and the old member states, between the new member states, as well as between the new EU member states and their neighboring countries. For almost half century cross-border cooperation has been recognized as a very powerful tool for maintaining peace and building good neighbourly relations between the European borders.
The meeting aims to provide young people with a deeper understanding of the circumstances in which they live and to enable them to develop common initiatives and projects for assuring a positive prospect for young people in the border regions of Europe.
Eligibility
In order to be considered eligible to apply, you must fulfill all of the following criteria:
- Preferable age between 20 and 30
- The applicants should have ability to speak and understand English
- postgraduate students from the Balkan region who are majoring in one of the following fields: cross-border cooperation, politics and diplomacy, economics, culture, media, tourism, sports, peace and conflict resolution.
- young professionals in one of the following fields: cross-border cooperation, politics and diplomacy, economics, culture, media, tourism, sports, peace and conflict resolution
- young professionals in one of the following fields: cross-border cooperation, politics and diplomacy, economics, culture, media, tourism, sports, peace and conflict resolution
Application
For applying to participate in the work of the Youth Forum, please send the filled registration form by September 29, 2014 to the following e-mail address: info@ecpdorg.net or office@ecpd.org.rs .
