Description

Paper by Rhonda Schlangen

The promotion and protection of human rights around the world is driven by principles of transparency
and accountability. These same principles drive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) efforts. Yet, conceptual, capacity, and cultural barriers often discourage the use of M&E in support of human rights work.

These case studies profile the monitoring and evaluation efforts of three human rights non-governmental
organizations (NGOs). They are intended to support efforts within the human rights community to explore
and tackle M&E challenges by providing concrete examples and transferable lessons about how to integrate
M&E in useful ways. The cases emphasize both the methodologies used and the organizations’ efforts to
build internal M&E capacity and support.

  1. The International Secretariat of Amnesty International is using an internally developed impact monitoring framework, along with accompanying simple tools and processes, to plan activities and learn
    from campaigns. A team of internal evaluation and monitoring professionals supports the use of these
    tools, while also cultivating nodes of support among staff in order to build an organizational culture
    that values M&E.
  2. The International Commission of Jurists is adapting donor-mandated M&E requirements into useful,
    relevant, and internally operated systems. The case study shows how the organization adapted a
    traditional results framework to its human rights work, and it highlights the benefits of constructive
    evaluation experiences for promoting internal M&E support.
  3. Crisis Action demonstrates how the systematic use of relatively easy-to-use M&E tools can support collaborative advocacy around conflict-related crises. The organization’s experience demonstrates how
    short-term feedback loops can be integrated into international advocacy campaigns with minimal
    resources.
