Monitoring

Context monitoring in the Context of Peacemaking

Definition of Context monitoring published by the United Nations: Process that keeps track changes in the Programme's operating environment, particularly on the dynamics of peace and conflict that that are affecting Programme performance. It describes the risks and opportunities that guide the formulation of mitigating strategies to combat the risks, and to positively influence the conflict environment. The Programme regularly updates its analysis of the conflict environment, as well as the overall context where it operates. Understanding changes in the context puts the Programme in a better position to mitigate adverse effects and effectively respond to these changes.

Outcomes monitoring in the Context of Peacemaking

Definition of Outcomes monitoring published by the United Nations: Type of monitoring that measures behavioral changes and its underlying theories of change in relation to the four dimensions of conflict (personal, relational, structural and cultural). This aspect of conflict-sensitive monitoring is essentially not within the direct control of the Programme. The positive changes resulting from various interventions, however, speak well of the Programme's degree of influence and success in changing the dynamics of conflict toward sustained peace.
