This M&E note supports the monitoring and evaluation of strategies, policies and projects that seek to increase resilience by linking climate change adaptation, peacebuilding, and sustainable livelihoods. It accompanies the guidance note which is focused on policy, strategy and project development. Chapter 1 explains the importance of M&E and lays out the basic principles of conflict- and genders-sensitive M&E. Chapter 2 explains how to measure results and impacts putting a special focus on climate change adaptation and peacebuilding results. Chapter 3 provides guidance on how to develop indicators and how to approach your baseline. A number of checklists and sets of guiding questions throughout the note help readers to put the concepts and approaches described into action.
