pdfResearching, monitoring and evaluating communication for development- trends, challenges and approaches

04 May 2011This report highlights a number of important trends, challenges and approaches associated with researching, monitoring and evaluating Communication for Development (C4D) within the UN context. It is a key component of the Research, Monitoring and Evaluation (R, M&E) Resource Pack for C4D Programmes. This Resource Pack is being developed as part of an ongoing series of strategies that aim to institutionalise C4D within the International Development Agenda, demonstrate the contributions and impacts of C4D, and thereby strengthen C4D’s institutional position within the UN.

To prepare this report, we undertook a major literature review and consultations with 11 C4D Focal Points or M&E specialists from seven UN agencies and a 15 member Expert Panel, who provided extensive inputs into the project, including suggested revisions to a draft of this report which was discussed at a series of meetings at UNICEF headquarters in New York in December 2010 (see Pamer et al., 2011).
