Lesson 10: Programme Support, Monitoring and Evaluation

 Transcripción del video

Lesson Ten focuses on programme support, monitoring and evaluation. DDR programmes have a better chance of success when the DDR planning process starts early (preferably from the beginning of the peace process), builds on the accumulated experience and expertise of local actors, is based on a solid understanding of the conflict, and deliberately encourages greater unity of effort among UN agencies and their community of partners. Planning is essential to delivering better DDR programmes, because DDR is a multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder and multi-phase process requiring coordination and adequate links among various post-conflict planning mechanisms. The implementation of DDR programmes often requires difficult compromises and trade-offs among various political, security and development considerations. It also relies very much on establishing an appropriate balance between international involvement and national ownership.
