Rationale
The Professional Diploma in Evidence Based Learning and Knowledge Management (PELKM) is a short course designed to impart knowledge and share knowledge and experiences among industry practitioners through a controlled learning environment. The course is concerned with programs and projects that deal with creating behavioral and social change in communities through specific project interventions ranging from health, climate change adaptation and social justice, gender based violence, youth leaders development and political actors so as to enable participants to learn and know how to become change agents and development champions.
The introduction of this short course in Evidence Based Learning and Knowledge Management thus has arisen from the observation that the industry has over the years emphasized generic training in Project Management and little attention is given on how evidence based learning and knowledge management that is crucial for policy makers, project funders and planners; monitoring and evaluation experts.
