Doing it better: monitoring and evaluation for ecosystem-based adaptation

Why attend
This training session provides an overview of how to design and implement monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). Participants will learn how to use a theory of change approach for supporting long-term M&E that focuses on measuring outcomes and impacts, and for managing the challenges associated with M&E for EbA.
HideDescription
This training session provides an overview of the process needed for designing and implementing effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) interventions. It introduces participants to the intricacies and challenges associated with monitoring and evaluating EbA, and provides them with approaches and tools for addressing these. Participants will learn how to use a theory of change approach as the basis for developing a long-term M&E system that goes beyond measuring the activities and outputs of an EbA intervention to evaluating the outcomes and impacts of those actions. By developing theories of change for typical EbA interventions, participants will gain hands-on experience in carrying out the process, including in identifying risks, assumptions and appropriate indicators (focusing on medium- to long-term outcome indicators). The training will also cover steps for operationalising an M&E system, and for using and communicating M&E results.
