Participatory monitoring and evaluation for natural resource management and research (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

Participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) is increasingly recognized as a vital approach for assessing developmental changes in natural resource management. By involving a diverse array of stakeholders, PM&E enables a more comprehensive understanding of impacts by incorporating the perspectives of the target populations rather than solely relying on external assessments. This approach encourages continuous learning, fosters collaboration, and helps enhance motivation among participants. The paper highlights the growing interest in PM&E within the natural resource sector, driven by trends in participatory practices, and discusses the appropriateness of various assessment methods to different stakeholder groups, emphasizing the need for consensus in indicator selection.
