M&E in Conflict and Post-Conflict Environments Training Course

Insecurity, restricted access, displaced populations and fast-changing political dynamics make standard monitoring approaches unreliable and sometimes dangerous in fragile settings. The week begins with conflict analysis, do-no-harm principles and how programmes can unintentionally fuel tensions or put staff and respondents at risk. Framework design sessions show how to build conflict-sensitive results frameworks, indicators for peacebuilding, stabilisation and humanitarian outcomes, and context monitoring alongside performance monitoring. Data collection days cover remote and third-party monitoring, mobile data tools, community-based monitors, triangulation and protecting the safety and confidentiality of informants.

Evaluation and impact assessment sessions examine realistic designs when baselines are missing and comparison groups are impractical, including contribution analysis, outcome harvesting and real-time evaluation. The final day focuses on adaptive management, scenario planning and preparing M&E systems for transition from emergency response to recovery and development. Case studies from humanitarian, peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction programmes ground every topic in field realities. M&E officers, humanitarian programme managers, peacebuilding practitioners, donor staff and government recovery agencies will be able to generate credible evidence while minimising risk to people and programmes.

About this course

This M&E in Conflict and Post-Conflict Environments Training focuses on helping professionals design and implement effective monitoring and evaluation systems in such contexts. The course explores conflict-sensitive monitoring approaches, impact assessment methodologies, resilience measurement, peacebuilding evaluation frameworks, stakeholder engagement strategies, and adaptive management techniques. Participants will gain practical skills for measuring results, managing risks, improving accountability, and supporting evidence-based decision-making in fragile and complex settings.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from banking institutions, financial services firms, audit practices, and public finance bodies, examining how M&E in conflict and Post-Conflict environments is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for evaluation and impact assessment, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.

Training Objectives

  • Design comprehensive monitoring and evaluation frameworks for conflict and post-conflict programs.
  • Analyze complex operating environments using conflict-sensitive assessment methodologies.

  • Apply risk-informed approaches to data collection, analysis, and reporting.
  • Integrate conflict-sensitive M&E systems into organizational processes and governance structures.
  • Optimize program performance through evidence-based decision-making and continuous learning.
