ABOUT THIS COURSE

Este curso forma parte de la iniciativa desarrollada en conjunto por el Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) y el Instituto Interamericano para el Desarrollo Social (INDES) del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) con la intención de facilitar este reto mediante la ampliación de las capacidades y la actualización estadística de un gran número de organizaciones públicas y privadas vinculadas a los procesos de desarrollo. Aunque los contenidos han sido actualizados y rediseñados, este curso corresponde al que el INDES ha venido ofreciendo desde 2007. Con él se intenta: elevar la conciencia sobre la importancia de establecer objetivos de desarrollo de largo plazo, como lo fueron los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) y lo son, ahora, los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS); discutir su papel en el diseño e implementación de las políticas públicas en los niveles nacionales y sub-nacionales; capacitar a los involucrados en procesos de desarrollo en el uso de objetivos, metas e indicadores. La intención última, es incrementar la disponibilidad de información estadística de calidad para facilitar el diseño e implementación de políticas públicas basadas en la evidencia. 

El curso cuenta tanto con actividades individuales como con actividades grupales, en las que cada participante deberá coordinarse con el equipo de trabajo que le sea asignado en cada caso. El curso podrá contar con reuniones para aclarar dudas en las actividades en las que se trabaje en equipos.

Como parte de los productos de aprendizaje del portafolio de AcademiaBID, los cursos tutorizados, a diferencia de los cursos autoguiados o los masivos, son impartidos por una/s persona/s experta/s en la materia con experiencia demostrada en la enseñanza en línea. A lo largo de las semanas de duración del curso, los/las participantes tienen numerosas oportunidades de interacción con el equipo docente y compañeros/as, lo que contribuye a una experiencia de aprendizaje más eficaz. Las tareas y otras actividades de aprendizaje serán revisadas por el equipo docente asignado, quienes estarán brindando comentarios personalizados.

AUDIENCE OF THE COURSE

Este curso está dirigido a los funcionarios públicos y a líderes de ONGs que tienen responsabilidad en el diseño, implementación, monitoreo y evaluación de políticas y programas sociales. Personas que trabajan en áreas de comunicación social, asignación de presupuestos para programas sociales, asesores de los parlamentos, profesionales que trabajan en organismos internacionales o agencias de cooperación también se beneficiarían de este curso.
