General
Monitoring and evaluating serves as a guiding compass in environmental peacebuilding, facilitating evidence-based decision-making, continuous learning, and the improvement of interventions. As a dynamic field, environmental peacebuilding necessitates tailored monitoring and evaluating approaches that address its unique challenges. These challenges arise from the complex interplay between environmental issues, conflict dynamics, and peacebuilding efforts. By embracing tailored approaches, addressing challenges, and leveraging the interconnectedness of monitoring and evaluation, practitioners can navigate the landscape of monitoring and evaluating in environmental peacebuilding to promote sustainable and transformative change.
