Ep. 3: Aileen Van Leewen "Introduction to Monitoring and Evaluation in the Counter-Terrorism & P/CVE Fields"
In this Knowledge Series interview, Aileen Van Leewen, an M&E Officer at the International Centre for Counterterrorism (ICCT), introduces the fundamentals of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) within the Counterterrorism and Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) fields. She highlights the importance of building a culture of evaluation to gain insights, demonstrate effectiveness, ensure accountability, and empower stakeholders.
Addressing common challenges and misconceptions, such as the difficulty of measuring non-events and the perceived sensitivity of evaluations, Aileen Van Leewen advocates for evidence-based practices to enhance organizational capacity and transparency. The establishment of ICCT’s M&E Center of Excellence aims to revolutionize evaluation practices, promote multi-stakeholder collaboration, and integrate M&E into all initiatives, fostering sustainable and effective counterterrorism efforts.
