Fostering Civil Society Engagement through Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation Globally

The Spotlight Initiative Global Learning Session - Fostering Civil Society Engagement through Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation - brought together Spotlight Initiative teams and civil society partners to build a common understanding of Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PME). Participants gained greater insight into how a participatory approach to monitoring and evaluation better surfaces the underlying structural factors that perpetuate discrimination, bias, and inequality and, as such, contributes to improved programming to end violence against women and girls. The session also fostered discussions on the challenges to meaningfully implement PME, and ways to further integrate PME in Spotlight Initiative programmes. Furthermore, the session sought to analyze, further refine/revise and validate the PME guidance note while identifying and sharing concrete mechanisms and ways forward to further integrate PME into Spotlight Initiative programming. To support the (practical and meaningful) implementation of PME, this product highlights critical lessons learned and promising practices surfaced during the session from Spotlight Initiative programmes and partners in Belize, Malawi, and Niger, as well as in other contexts.
