Designing for Results: Integrating Monitoring and Evaluation in Conflict Transformation Programs

Intended as a "living reference", to be updated periodically, the purpose of this manual is to introduce peacebuilding practitioners to the concepts, tools, and methods needed to incorporate better design, monitoring, and evaluation practices into peacebuilding programming. As an introductory volume, the main audience is front-line peacebuilding practitioners from around the world with minimal formal training in design, monitoring, and evaluation. This guide assumes that the audience has experience, training, and access to resources on conflict assessments, which are a prerequisite to participating in conflict transformation programme design.

The manual offers general information on learning and change in addition to chapters dedicated to specific issues such as baselines, indicators, monitoring, and evaluation. It also includes practical tips and examples from the work of Search for Common Ground and other organisations around the world.
