Monitoring as learning

Monitoring is the continuous process of gathering information about programme implementation and using this information in decision-making. It takes place as the poject/programme is running. It is emphasised that monitoring is a learning discipline for peacebuilding - a unique opportunity to reflect what we are doing, how we can improve our work and adjust to a changing context.

The activity aims at raising awareness for the need for multiple lenses to see change. Note: This activity is also listed in the Introduction chapter. Results journal. This activity familiarises participants with a possible monitoring data collection tool - the "results journal" - taking the example of a current peacebuilding engagement. Cornerstones of the monitoring system. This activity builds on earlier activities where results chains, indicators and baseline plan were developed for a peacebuilding project example. Now, participants will deal with the question what basic elements the monitoring system should be constituted of. Use any of these Content Processing Activities. Group process to develop a monitoring system for a project Developing a monitoring system. Here you can find a suggestion for how a monitoring system can be developed in a team process.
