Monitoring

 

Monitoring

In the context of environmental peacebuilding, monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring interventions stay on track, fostering ongoing reflection and learning. By employing defined indicators and both qualitative and quantitative approaches, monitoring provides valuable insights to guide intervention management throughout the implementation cycle. By embracing robust monitoring practices, environmental peacebuilding practitioners can enhance accountability, maximize knowledge exchange, and proactively identify unintended outcomes—both positive and negative. Ultimately, monitoring serves as a cornerstone in enabling adaptive and impactful environmental peacebuilding endeavors.
