Overview

Note: EULER programs are distinguished from EUCLID programs but also closely related as (1) they have slightly different areas of specialization (based on the list of degrees in the initial charter (2) they rely on very similar methods and platforms (3) the final degree is conferred by EUCLID but with the EULER logo added and dual degree option (two degrees, one from EUCLID (Euclid University – intergovernmental) and one from EULER (The Euler-Franeker Memorial University) starting ~10/2024.

The EULER online PhD in Monitoring and Evaluation (currently offered in partnership with EUCLID) is the only doctoral degree program offered in active partnership with an institution that is itself an intergovernmental treaty-based institution (EUCLID / EULER & Institute).

To master monitoring and evaluation means to be able to manage and oversee complex programs with external funding sources. M&E is defined as:

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is used to assess the performance of projects, institutions and programs set up by governments, international organisations and NGOs. Its goal is to improve current and future management of outputs, outcomes and impact. Monitoring is a continuous assessment of programs based on early detailed information on the progress or delay of the ongoing assessed activities.[1] An evaluation is an examination concerning the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and impact of activities in the light of specified objectives.

Moreover, EUCLID is an academic partner of other intergovernmental organizations lacking degree-granting authority such as LLPI and CAFRAD. Remarkably, EUCLID’s associated MBA (Sustainable Development) has been consistently ranked in the world's top 20.

This PhD degree program was officially designed for and by senior civil servants over 4 continents. It is also highly relevant to managers and executives working for multinational companies.

The EULER online PhD in monitoring and evaluation offers a strong coursework core capped with a dissertation and associated project. Graduates can expect to complete the program transformed and enhanced in their ability to make a contribution difference in global project evaluation but also in academia (university faculty positions).

Academic Presentation

OECD governments and international organizations play a vital role in today’s global and complex international development scene. These governments and organizations fund complex development programs that call for rigorous and professional monitoring and oversight. The employment opportunities in this field are vast, exciting and geographically diverse.

The EULER+EUCLID PhD in monitoring and evaluation program is the program you need to obtain the skills necessary to become a desirable and valuable asset for employment with these governments (often through their development agencies like SIDA) as well as international organizations (such as the World Bank or AfDB) and universities: you will receive advanced training in project management and auditing, project monitoring, relevant IT tools, etc.

Although spending 2 years in Geneva or Washington DC is exciting and possibly the best approach for those who can take the campus-based route, this program has the advantage of being offered completely online, with a very low tuition designed to make international careers possible for residents to developing countries.
