Introduces basic concepts of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) as applied to conflict resolution and peace-building projects. Learners discover why it’s important to track the outcomes of their initiatives (to know what’s working and what isn’t) and learn simple tools for evaluation, such as surveys, conflict incident tracking, or community feedback meetings. This lesson might include designing sample indicators for success (e.g., reduction in school bullying incidents, increased dialogue between community groups) and how to collect data ethically. By understanding M&E, participants are equipped to ensure their peace efforts remain effective and are improved over time.
