Story by Marco Flores Santiago, Biodiversity Specialist, USAID
In 2017, the USAID Forestry and Biodiversity Office released three USAID Biodiversity Programming How-To Guides:
1) Developing Situation Models;Here you can access the self-paced online course, and here you can download the pdf guide.
2) Using Results Chains to Depict Theories of Change; Here you can access the self-paced online course, and here you can download the pdf guide.
3) Defining Outcomes and Indicators for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning.
These guides provide in-depth guidance on key tools and practices to support teams (USAID and Implementing Partners) as they design and manage biodiversity programs within USAID’s Program Cycle and in accordance with the Agency’s Biodiversity Policy. The methodology described throughout these guides is based on the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation.
The first two How-To Guides are now available on the USAID FAB gateway as self-paced interactive online courses. For best results, use Chrome when accessing the courses. For more information contact biodiversity@usaid.gov.
