This paper introduces a set of M&E tools and approaches, discussing their potential usefulness in supporting adaptive management in development and humanitarian programmes.
Adaptive management brings additional challenges for monitoring and evaluating programmes as they need intentional M&E design from the start that is oriented towards both learning and accountability.
The paper focuses on adaptive programmes characterised by complex aspects - that:
- are innovative
- have uncertain pathways for change
- operate in uncertain or unstable environments
