Cooperation
Through cooperation, diverse stakeholders, including governments, civil society organizations, and private sector actors, can work together towards common goals, finding mutually beneficial solutions to environmental challenges. Effective M&E frameworks can help to track progress, identify gaps, and ensure that efforts are achieving the intended results, promoting transparency and accountability.M&E is essential for assessing the impact of collaborative efforts and for providing feedback to guide decision-making and enhance the effectiveness of peacebuilding initiatives. Moreover, M&E frameworks can foster transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. This can help to address concerns and build confidence in the peacebuilding process, leading to greater support and commitment from all stakeholders.
