This publication is a Compendium of Facilitation Guides on change-oriented PME through the Community of Learners (CoL) apporach. It is a response of the Consulting Team Inc. (CTI) to feedback received from MISEREOR Partner Organizations (MPOs) in the MISEREOR-supported CTI project on capacity enhancement on change orientation since 2014 in the Philippines.

From poverty reduction to health, education, economic growth, gender equality, climate action and more, peace is essential for all interventions working towards healthy, safe, and just societies. Peace matters for us all. We need to build evidence and identify the investments in peace that have the best outcomes for people and practitioners affected by conflict.

Imagine if we could track what really matters for peace and drive our conversation and our investment toward that. A new framework makes this possible by identifying essential elements of peace and how to measure it based on the work and input from people in more than 180 organizations in 45 countries worldwide – from local community organizers to government representatives to academics. From their insights, five themes emerged as vital for peace, and there are three essential pillars to understand and measure it. The Peace Impact Framework creates a structure to track the vital signs of peace in any society.

This document provides guidance on how to apply the Peace Impact Framework to your work.

The toolkit emphasizes learning before, during, and after the implementation of peacebuilding programs. It explores the connections between learning and effective peacebuilding practice and suggests practices for reflection and learning as individuals and communities. The tool kit looks at ethical considerations, the types of change that peacebuilding practice promotes, and tools to further understand change and develop indicators to trace those changes over time. The tools can stand alone or augment existing systems and practices. They are intended to help practitioners enhance their creativity in developing context-specific learning, monitoring, and evaluation systems. Published in collaboration with the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame.

The Learning Power of Listening guide is intended for those who will coordinate, participate in or support the use of SenseMaker—a complexity‐aware, narrative‐based method supported by proprietary software—to conduct assessments, monitor progress, and carry out evaluations or research. The guide can be used for personal reference or for training others involved in a SenseMaker process. The experiences on which the guide is based, and the examples used, focus mainly on development programs, particularly efforts that seek behavioral change, social justice, poverty reduction, peacebuilding, and natural resource restoration and protection. They come from organizations and programs that have used SenseMaker over the
last decade (from About This Guide, p.1).

The Most Significant Change technique helps monitor and evaluate the performance of projects and programs. It involves the collection and systematic participatory interpretation of stories of significant change emanating from the field level—stories about who did what, when, and why, and the reasons why the event was important. It does not employ quantitative indicators.
