There's a rising demand for more adaptive methodologies as traditional monitoring and evaluation (M&E) approaches struggle to answer questions such as: How does our livelihood project strengthen or undermine social cohesion? Are our humanitarian projects contributing to local peacebuilding, as envisioned by the commitment to a more joined-up humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) approach in conflict contexts?
In this Training Course on Adaptive Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Approaches in Complex Environments offered by Phoenix Center for Policy, Research and Training, participants will explore the dynamic intersection of Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) with adaptive methodologies. Tailored for individuals navigating complex and uncertain environments, the course is designed to equip them with essential skills for adapting their programs and projects effectively and assessing their contributions to peace and positive social change.
Despite the widely acknowledged importance of adaptation and learning of MEL, practical guidance on implementation remains scarce. We aim to address this gap by offering a nuanced exploration of proven strategies and hands-on experience. Throughout the course, participants will immerse themselves in case studies and critically reflect the effective application and customization of adaptive approaches. Beyond individual learning, the course fosters a community of practitioners, offering a platform for sharing insights, networking, and collectively addressing challenges.
This course is aimed at anyone who needs to assess the extent to which interventions (either individually or collectively) are delivering effective adaptation outcomes and/or helping to make people and systems more resilient to shocks and stresses associated with climate variability and change. It addresses issues commonly framed in terms of monitoring and evaluation (M&E), or monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL).
This Training Course on Adaptive Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Approaches in Complex Environments offered by Phoenix Center for Policy, Research and Training outlines the challenges of adaptation M&E/MEL, reviews existing approaches, and presents frameworks for assessing the effectiveness of adaptation that go beyond the usual focus on outputs. It includes discussion of the Tracking Adaptation and Measuring Development (TAMD) framework and other approaches and frameworks, and recent developments in the measurement of resilience. It addresses the need for counterfactuals and the challenge of tracking the success of development and adaptation interventions in the face of evolving climate risk contexts, that may make the achievement of development goals more difficult.
Upon the successful completion of this Training Course on Adaptive Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Approaches in Complex Environments, participants will be able to:
