As part of Interpeace’s effort of strengthening its institutional learning capacity, especially in embedded results based monitoring and evaluation, the regional office for East and Central Africa (ECA) has created a position of Design, Monitoring and Evaluation Officer (DM&EO) to be lodged in the Great Lakes Regional Peacebuilding Programme “Trans-border dialogue for Peace in the Great Lakes Region” at its inception. The Interpeace regional office has in some of its programmes used the “Outcome Mapping” (OM) approach for the results framework development, namely for its anticipated Great Lakes Regional Peacebuilding Programme. The OM approach is an evaluative process that focuses on behavioural changes in the social actors (“boundary partners”) with whom a programme works directly. By focusing on ‘outcomes’ represented as the ‘changes in the actions and practices’ of those social actors with whom the programme works directly with and has an opportunity to influence, the ability to both monitor and evaluate the success of programme strategies focused on this social change is increased. The central concept of the Great Lakes Regional Peacebuilding Programme is thus to produce behavioral change in the programme’s boundary partners and it will focus on implementing activities that seek to achieve the identified changes. The programme is marked by participatory elements and given its character will be measured largely based on qualitative indicators. Through the programme, Interpeace and its partners in the intervention zones (Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo’s North and South Kivu provinces) seek to make a viable contribution towards building lasting peace in the Great Lakes Region.
