Our approach is centred on collecting and analysing evidence together about what others do differently – and determining how far that is because of our work. The approach is different because it is flexible and straightforward enough to be used in complex, rapidly-changing contexts. It empowers front-line staff, communities and partners to ‘monitor’ what matters to them.
Key benefits: • It is simple, but promotes complex discussion and analysis. • It allows conflict- and gender-sensitivity to be built into programmes; it promotes analysis of and adaptation to context. • Bringing front-line staff and partners into wider conversations with others substantially increases cross-organisational learning.
