Mission
Harnessing Collective Action for Peace
About
Through our cutting-edge Learning and Evaluation (L&E) program, AfP is leading the peacebuilding field to embrace a more rigorous evaluative culture. This requires building capacity to capture high quality, actionable data; encouraging the field to become more evidence-based; and making a stronger case for peace through shared research efforts to synthesize impact. AfP is not only designing how to prove impact but is also building capacity to measure results among its members, so collectively they can be more effective in reducing violence and building sustainable peace. AfP made great strides in 2018 to achieve our goals and promote opportunities for shared learning around monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Over the course of 2018, AfP co-hosted its first Peacebuilding M&E Solutions Forum with the United States Institute of Peace and One Earth Future Foundation, supported a dedicated L&E tract at PeaceCon, provided capacity building to more than 30 global peacebuilders participating in the IREX Community Solutions Program, and provided technical support to the inaugural Somalia SDG 16 Monitoring and Evaluation Task Force with UNDP, UNPBSO, and the Global Alliance. The Solutions Forum was a unique opportunity for M&E practitioners to come together, network, and connect with counterparts. It further provided participants with an open environment in which to share best practices, lessons learned, results, and evidence from across a broad spectrum of M&E activities in peacebuilding programming. The full-day event was met with overwhelming support, interest, and success. It hosted over 150 individuals from around the world, featured 30 presentations, and had 48 presenters from 11 countries. It also supported a scholarship fund to bring six presenters from around the world to share their work and enhance this learning event. It was an unparalleled opportunity for AfP to convene a safe space for knowledge and ideas exchange and employ action learning to develop creative, flexible, and successful strategies to pressing M&E problems in the peacebuilding field. In addition to convening our own events, AfP has been supporting our members and the United Nations through practical capacity building. The focus of this work has been to provide recommendations and skills building on the actual process and methodology of measuring to move beyond discussion and present feasible solutions on how to measure peace. 2018 also marked a considerable transition for AfP in how we define, prioritize, and conduct our research. Recognizing that most peacebuilding organizations operate within a single programming area or approach and conduct research to support those efforts, AfP's research efforts in 2018 looked to bridge the gap between organizational-relevant research and sector-wide learning. Our work has focused on synthesizing available data and learning into approachable formats, conducting relevant research, and developing partnerships with leading academics and institutions. AfP has focused on how we concatenate, translate, and make available guidance, research, and outcome-level learnings that are usable and practical. Lessons learned from this work enable AfP to better provide actionable recommendations to our members and the broader community on peacebuilding M&E, as well as participate in the development of innovative M&E systems intended to improve the impact and accountability of international investment in Sustainable Development Goal 16. This includes publishing the "Guiding Steps for Peacebuilding Design, Monitoring, and Evaluation," leading research and making policy-relevant recommendations on employing adaptive management in peacebuilding, and the publication of the "Snapshot of Adaptive Management in Peacebuilding Programs." AfP has further undertaken our own additional research efforts to better understand the state of the peacebuilding field.
