About the program
IPDET combines core evaluation training with applied learning, supporting participants at different stages of experience—from those building foundational evaluation skills to more experienced practitioners seeking to deepen or update their practice. Through intensive courses and targeted thematic workshops, the program helps participants connect evaluation concepts and methods to real‑world policy, program, and institutional challenges.
As part of GEI’s broader professional development offer, IPDET complements regional and country‑based training delivered through GEI partners, helping link global standards and shared learning with locally grounded capacity development.
