Project profile — Impact Monitoring Capacity

This project aims to improve the effectiveness of preventing violent extremism (PVE) in Jordan and other Arab States by enhancing tools for monitoring and evaluation of PVE projects. Project activities include: (1) delivering 4 capacity-development trainings to members of Jordanian government and civil society; (2) providing support for designing monitoring and evaluation framework for Jordan’s National PVE Action Plan; (3) monitoring 2 PVE-specific projects in Jordan; and (4) producing 2 new tools for monitoring of PVE intervention.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased ability of governmental and non-governmental actors to effectively design, monitor and evaluate their PVE projects, programmes and strategies; and (2) improved application of best practices, norms and practices in design and articulation of PVE projects and strategies.

Results achieved at the end of project (June 2019) include: (1) 73% of training participants reported improved knowledge of monitoring and evaluation of PVE interventions; (2) 72 experts (43 women and 29 men) participated in a forum on PVE measurement in Amman, Jordan; and (3) translated 1 monitoring and evaluation toolkit into Arabic and produced 9 videos, including 1 on gender-sensitive project monitoring.
