Well-designed M&E systems support fact-based assessments of incremental or overall intervention effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, accountability, and other defined dimensions of program success. M&E systems contribute to success through generation and use of valid and reliable data on intervention performance and results. Best use of that data is to better inform management and implementation decisions during the life of the intervention, in ways that maximize impact and probabilities of sustained change. Implications of the special challenges posed to implementing quality M&E in environments particularly susceptible to socio-political turmoil and/or violent conflict highlight some of the features that ideally would be present in almost any strong M&E system, but have increased salience in peaceprecarious situations.
