Five things to consider when developing monitoring and evaluation systems for adaptive programmes
International development is slowly waking up to the realisation that existing programming frameworks, often driven by the need for accountability, due not hold true in sight of the true complexity of local dynamics and do not deliver neither for beneficiaries, nor implementing organisations, nor the donors themselves. The truth is: we often do not know the solution to an existing problem and, as such, it is difficult to predict if and how a project will work out. Enter adaptive programming, where we design, test and evaluate different programming strategies to find out what works (best).
