Evaluation
Evaluation constitutes a systematic and comprehensive assessment within the monitoring and evaluation framework of environmental peacebuilding interventions. It involves a careful examination of the intervention's design, implementation, and effects to determine its worth, value, quality, and importance. Evaluations not only utilize monitoring information but also delve into the underlying mechanisms and impacts of the intervention. Evaluation can take place at various stages, from inception to completion and beyond, depending on the specific objectives of it. By actively engaging in thorough evaluations, practitioners in environmental peacebuilding can optimize the outcomes of their interventions and advance knowledge in the field.
