M&E Thursday Talk – Everyday Peace Indicators: Including Hard to Access Populations into International Peacebuilding Efforts – 05.07.17

On May 7, 2015, the Network for Peacebuilding Evaluation and the Peacebuilding Evaluation Consortium had the pleasure of hosting a Thursday Talk with Dr. Pamina Firchow of George Mason University who discussed the Everyday Peace Indicators and how to include hard to access populations into international peacebuilding efforts.

 

The Everyday Peace Indicators project aims to create alternative, bottom-up indicators of peace. It seeks to address the limitations of existing approaches to measuring peace and reconciliation, as well as limitations in evaluation practices. The project is being piloted in four sub-Saharan countries (South Sudan, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Uganda) using participatory action research methods and longitudinal, multi- mode mobile phone surveys to reach hard to access populations.
