| scope="col" width="750" |''Fundamentals'' provides a comprehensive overview of QIA concepts. Participants will learn the difference between program outcomes and program impacts, and be introduced to the common approaches to QIA (such as difference-in-differences, discontinuity estimators, and more). This session also offers a detailed overview of randomized controlled experiments – the gold standard of QIA.

| scope="col" width="750" |''Case Studies I'' focuses on three real-life examples of QIA methods being applied to evaluate program performance and impact. These case studies primarily leverage social data. The methods covered are (1) empirical density design, (2) hierarchical linear modelling, and (3) propensity score matching and difference-in-differences.
