This five-week on-line course offers an overview of the principles and content that should be present for a consultation process to be considered “meaningful”. Since it is not feasible to discuss every possible circumstance in detail, the course reflects on principles and gives overall guidance, rather than a standard blueprint or “one size fits all” approach. Broadly, the course addresses three aspects of how consultation is approached in IDB policies and how good practice has evolved: (i) Explicit mandatory and binding requirements related to consultation in IDB policies and guidelines; (ii) Implicit requirements of the consultation process not stated explicitly in the policies, but that are necessary conditions and inputs to achieve the more explicit requirements; and (iii) International good practice related to consultation as developed in recent years, both by IDB and other development agencies, academia, civil society and others.

Building the capacity of national health, nutrition and population (HNP) project management teams and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) specialists, and World Bank project task teams is a critical starting point for strengthening the knowledge base on M&E for designing and implementing projects, and using evidence for informed decision-making and course correction. This course provides practical tools and approaches to improving the quality of M&E of HNP projects throughout the project cycle including design, implementation and completion.
