If a budget for M&E is not designated, then there may not be enough funds for M&E; without M&E,
there will be inadequate data to show if progress in the conflict environment is being made; without
data indicating progress, funding for continued programming will be less likely.
Event Description.
This lesson is based primarily on the article: “Metrics for the Haiti Stabilization Initiative,” D. Becker
and R. Grossman-Vermaas, Center for Complex Operations (CCO): Prism Vol. 2, No. 2, (March
2011). Information was also found from this recorded event: “Measuring Progress in Stabilizing War-
Torn Societies,” R. Grossman-Vermaas, Logos-Technologies, (01:02:30). This event was hosted at
USIP to release the MPICE Metrics Framework, (9 July 2010).
