The Network for Peacebuilding Evaluation was pleased to welcome the working group on peace and development FriEnt (link is external), as they presented on their recent publication, “How do I know? Strategic planning, learning, and evaluation in peacebuilding (link is external)” on February 5, 2015.
Results orientation in its current practice may be more of a hindrance than a help for achieving better results in the field. However, there are experiences in international and local organizations that point to a learning orientation beyond the established structures and procedures, a more systematic use of lessons learned and results of multiple experiences and a more adventurous use of alternative methods that allow for taking into consideration the complexity and dynamics of (post-) conflict situations.
