Overview
This course focuses on how to design interventions, whether these be policies, programs of projects in situations of high complexity where outcomes cannot be determined with certainty or where the intervention seeks an innovative outcome which, by definition, cannot be clearly defined upfront.
These situations occur both in FCVAS (Fragile, Conflict and Violence Affected Areas) as well as in development in relatively stable but complex situations where many actors are present and are linked by dynamic and constantly changing interconnections and relationships. The course is designed to be very practice oriented, but adequate theory is included to ensure that participants new to this kind of thinking can have a sound understanding of the principles in order to be ready for the practice.
