DESCRIPTION
This discussion note outlines general principles and promising approaches for monitoring complex aspects of USAID development assistance. Complexity-aware monitoring is distinct from performance monitoring as practiced in USAID and is intended to complement performance monitoring when used for complex aspects of projects and strategies. Complexity-aware monitoring may be considered “normal” monitoring by some working in other organizations or contexts. Nevertheless, consideration of these principles and approaches may strengthen practice.
