| Abstract:
The International Labour Organization (ILO), an agency of the United Nations, strives to advance opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security, and human dignity. The ILO's objectives and programming for a given country are encapsulated in a five-year Decent Work Country program (DWCP). This presentation will describe a very recent evaluation of the DWCP's relevance, partnerships, strategies, implementation, results, and monitoring and evaluation systems in Indonesia. In addition to reporting basic findings of the evaluation, the presentation will also discuss the planning, staffing, logistics, and operation of conducting such an evaluation. In addition, we will discuss the challenges inherent in evaluating a large portfolio in a complex country, especially given that the ILO's mandate requires the delicate political feat of collaborating equally with governments, employers' organizations, and trade unions.

| Abstract:
Livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy (LLS) is a 23 countries International Union for Conservation of the Nature (IUCN) initiative funded by the Netherland Government. It is oriented to generate lessons from local initiatives to influence the national and local policies regarding real and meaningful change in the lives of rural poor, enhance long-term and equitable conservation of biodiversity and ensure the sustainable supply of forest-related goods and services.
Its approach is to build a partnership with local stakeholders and communities to add value to on-going activities. It is outcome-oriented. To answer these challenges in M&E a local based system that combines Theory of change approach, use of M&E questions rather than indicators and a learning/action-research approach has been recently developed.
We will present here lessons from various countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America
