What Needs to Change Program Monitoring and Evaluation needs to change from being “accountability-focused” to facilitating learning by all stakeholders. • Monitoring and evaluation should be made more participatory, and should (to the extent possible) involve all key stakeholders.

Food Security and Forestry should play an active role in monitoring the performance of the CORAD program • The Role of the M&E Coordination Unit (managed by World Vision) should change from “ ensuring standardization and compliance for accountability” to a more “facilitative role” that builds the necessary capacity at levels and “maximizes learning” by all major stakeholders
