Training Modules for Design, Monitoring and Evaluation for Peacebuilding

Developed by Search for Common Ground, the curriculum is based off SFCG’s Designing for Results: Integrating Monitoring and Evaluation into Conflict Transformation Programming, authored by Cheyanne Church and Mark Rogers. The modules synthesize key messages of Designing for Results, and expands on the original publication by providing real-life examples, tips and practice exercises to deepen your understanding and comprehension of this crucial knowledge for effective peacebuilding.

Search for Common Ground is an international non-profit organization operating in 36 countries whose mission is to transform the way the world deals with conflict away from adversarial approaches toward cooperative solutions.

End violent conflict. It’s our purpose — our call to action.

Instead of tearing down an existing world, we focus on constructing a new one. We do this through a type of peacebuilding called conflict transformation. Meaning: we look to change the everyday interactions between groups of people in conflict, so they can work together to build up their community, choosing joint problem-solving over violence.

Our mission is to transform the way the world deals with conflict, away from adversarial approaches, toward cooperative solutions.
