摘要

背景:应对当今的可持续性挑战需要采取一种系统的方法,将社会和生态系统视为综合的社会生态系统。这些系统是复杂的,国际发展部门越来越认识到有必要考虑到他们寻求转变的系统的复杂性。目的:本文件概述了可持续发展领域国际发展方案具有复杂性意识的监测和评价系统的组成部分。设置:不适用。数据收集和分析:作者借鉴了现有的关于复杂性和评估的文献,并借鉴了他们在M&E领域的工作经验。调查结果:M&E系统不应被简单地视为一种工具,用来跟踪对预先确定的变革理论的遵守情况。相反,它作为一种实时方法最有用,可以不断定义和重新定义变革叙事,帮助推动系统沿着感兴趣的轨迹发展。处理复杂性包括包容不确定性;这挑战了既定的问责制概念——资助者和实施者必须开始共同重新定义这一概念。关键词:监测;评价复杂性社会生态系统;国际发展方案;变革叙事;变化论

Complexity-Aware Monitoring and Evaluation
Background: Addressing today’s sustainability challenges requires adopting a systemic approach where social and ecological systems are treated as integrated social-ecological systems. Such systems are complex, and the international development sector increasingly recognises the need to account for the complexity of the systems that they seek to transform. Purpose: This paper sketches out the elements of a complexity-aware monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system for international development programmes in the area of sustainable development.  Setting: Not applicable. Data Collection and Analysis: The authors draw on existing literature on complexity and evaluation and on their own experience from working in the field of M&E. Findings: An M&E system should not be seen simply as a tool to track compliance against a pre-determined theory of change. Instead, it is most useful as a real-time approach, constantly defining and re-defining narratives for change that help push systems along trajectories of interest. Dealing with complexity involves embracing uncertainty; and this challenges established notions of accountability—something which funders and implementers must begin to redefine together. Keywords: monitoring; evaluation; complexity; social-ecological systems; international development programmes; narratives for change; theory of change
