About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to the podcast! Today, we're talking with an expert about the Certificate Programme in Disability Rights Impact Evaluation. Can you tell us a bit about this course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Of course! The course is designed to equip learners with the skills to evaluate the impact of disability rights interventions. I was inspired by the growing recognition of the importance of equal rights for persons with disabilities, and the need for professionals who can assess the effectiveness of these initiatives. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share some current trends in disability rights impact evaluation? GUEST: Absolutely. There's a growing emphasis on using technology to collect and analyze data, and on incorporating disability-inclusive development into mainstream development efforts. HOST: Those are important developments. What challenges have you faced in this field, or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the lack of standardized monitoring and evaluation frameworks for disability rights interventions. This makes it difficult to compare results across different initiatives. HOST: That's a significant hurdle. Where do you see the future of disability rights impact evaluation heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more emphasis on data-driven decision making, greater use of technology, and increased collaboration between organizations and governments to advance disability rights. HOST: That's a promising outlook. Thank you for sharing your insights with us today. GUEST: My pleasure. It's been a great conversation.
