Abstract

In the case of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM), it is useful to think not only in terms of ever changing capacities but also of changing relationships — among individuals, organizations, and networks. The project acted to support collaborative learning about the use of evaluation and monitoring in capacity development for participatory action research, and CBNRM. A key lesson that emerged is the importance of evaluative learning frameworks for capacity development strategies – including scaling up, sustainability, and institutionalization. The theory of change is a critical starting point in evaluative learning.
