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 course, 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.
