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

The authors hope this manual will help peacebuilding practitioners appreciate
how design, monitoring, and evaluation (DM&E) can contribute
both to their learning and to the success of their programs. The belief
that underpins all the concepts within this text is that monitoring and
evaluation are the learning disciplines most accessible and most useful
for peacebuilding practitioners. Ultimately, excellence in conflict transformation
program design and effectiveness is the goal of the authors.
The purpose of the 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 target audience is front-line peacebuilding
practitioners from around the world with minimal formal training in
design, monitoring, and evaluation. It assumes the audience has experience,
training, and access to resources on conflict assessments, which are
a prerequisite to participating in conflict transformation program design.
