Program Design
Quality program design helps sift through complexity, establish realistic expectations & maintain focus on primary objectives. Importantly, good design helps with evaluation; better initial design increases the likelihood of gathering clear evidence of success and areas for improvement (Peacebuilding Evaluation Consortium). This Thematic Action Area is a collection of discussions, resources, events & more that provide knowledge & coordination opportunities around program design in conflict-affected settings.
Frequently Asked Questions

Peacebuilding program design is directly linked to a conflict analysis & involves four steps: 1) articulating clear goals, objectives, and activities; developing plausible theories of change; 3) identifying preliminary indicators; & 4) pulling the pieces together into a logical framework (Peacebuilding Evaluation Consortium).
