It offers practical guidance and tool suggestions for implementing monitoring and evaluation in PTC programs, or programs that involve PTC as one activity. The Module also highlights considerations and approaches for process and quality monitoring of PTC programs and practitioners.

Emerging Practices in Design, Monitoring and Evaluation for Education for Peacebuilding Programs

By Rebecca Herrington

This guide examines the ways in which peacebuilding and education interact and overlap. It helps to identify how best to design education for peacebuilding programming and assesses the potential impact and contribution of this education to sustainable, transformative change. Using DM&E tested practices, considerations, and lessons learned that have emerged over the course of the past five years, this paper presents critical information, practical tips, resources and tools for all stages in program cycles, and emerging practices and lessons learned from the field, including those arising from the UNICEF Learning for Peace program.

Practical Approaches to Theories of Change in Conflict, Security, and Justice Programmes; Part II: Using Theories of Change in Monitoring and Evaluation

By Vanessa Corlazzoli and Jonathan White

This document focuses on how theories of change can be used in the monitoring and evaluation stages of the project cycle. It provides practical guidance on how and why to use theories of change-focused monitoring and evaluation strategies, particularly exploring the ways in which theories of change can be included in any evaluation approach. In combination with Part 1, this document seeks to improve the effectiveness of DFID programmes and the measurement of their impacts by providing DFID Advisers with the practical skills to develop high quality theories of change, to understand the role they play in programme design and assessment.

Part 1, by Peter Woodrow and Nick Oatley, is available here.
