There is an acute shortage of people and institutes with the ability to generate and analyse evidence or to plan actions based on evidence. Therefore, this course was designed to address this need and enhance the skills of researchers. ASER Centre in collaboration with the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai offered certified capacity building courses for field researchers, survey coordinators and professionals in other organisations working in similar fields. Participants from organisations such as Accountability Initiative, IDInsight, JPAL SA, IFMR, Room to Read, Saajha, and many individual participants have successfully completed the course.
