Local Voices in Measurement and Evaluation After War

Essential Insights and Perspectives for Practitioners

In the aftermath of war, measurement and evaluation (M&E) play a vital role in assessing the effectiveness of interventions and ensuring accountability. However, traditional M&E approaches often fail to capture the complexities and nuances of post-conflict contexts. This book, "Local Voices in Measurement and Evaluation After War," provides a much-needed corrective by bringing together the voices and perspectives of local practitioners and researchers.
