Learning unit contents

The course will present a series of analytical tools to approach public health projects, mobilizing diverse proposal from the fields of policy analysis and program evaluation.
It will follow a sequential analysis logic: problematization and agenda setting, intervention design, implementation and evaluation. For each step, various tools will be presented to allow the student to analyse a public health project and engage in its planification, implementation and evaluation.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the lectures, the student should master different theoretical and methodological tools, allowing them to develop a critical understanding of past, present and future public health projects, but also to engage in project planification, implementation and evaluation. These tools will allow, at least:


  • to identify the different key steps in a project or a program
  • to identify the social and contingent nature of a public health problem, its embeddedness in a specific context
  • to master the planification of a project (strategic objectives, operational objectives, actions, SMART objectives, GANTT diagram,...)
  • to develop relevant evaluation methods to answer various assessment questions
