ALNAP Webinar | Breaking the Mould: Alternative approaches to M&E for humanitarian action

Traditional approaches to M&E are being challenged from a number of angles. As humanitarian agencies become more adaptive to change, how can M&E systems based on fixed programme logics keep up? As humanitarians increasingly target continuous learning over multi-annual programmes, how can M&E systems developed for single project cycles provide useful input? And as humanitarians seek to integrate the views of different affected population groups, how can M&E systems get better at exploring the tensions and contradictions about the value of a project, programme or initiative?

Watch the clip below for a conversation about how humanitarian M&E teams can answer these challenges. This webinar explored a range of innovations that ALNAP Research Fellow Neil Dillon highlights in his recent paper ‘Breaking the Mould’. He looked at M&E systems that are specifically designed to flex as programmes adapt, to support continuous ongoing learning, and to explore the different and sometimes contradictory views of humanitarian action from a wider range of stakeholders.
