Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of Animal Health Interventions
1 Course Overview
Directly after the AITVM-STVM conference on 8 and 9 September 2016, a 1.5 day workshop aimed at life scientists with limited or no knowledge of socio-economics, will provide practical guidance in assessing the socio-economic impact of animal health interventions in developing countries. The primary focus will be on the design and implementation of quantitative impact assessment methods. The course is by no means a substitute for a full course on impact assessment, but it is rather intended to raise interest in project evaluation and to convey key concepts and messages. The Leibniz Universität Hannover and the Freie Universität Berlin jointly organize the course.
