Introduction
The Field Building Initiative Leadership Initiative (FBLI) in South East Asia is a 5 year Ecohealth program,
consisting of three interlinked components: i) research ii) capacity building and iii) knowledge translation.
We present here the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework for the (FBLI) using Outcome Mapping
(OM) - a M&E concept focusing on one specific type of result: outcomes as behavioral change. We describe
the process of monitoring used in the FBLI program i.e. how proposed tools such as detailed monitoring
and the quarterly bulletin, the self-reflection tool and OM are integrated to monitor and evaluate the expected
outputs. What the program’s varying hopes and expectations are laid out in the project proposal as what we
would love to see, like to see and expect to see in the field of Ecohealth building in South East Asia.

Detailed monitoring and quarterly bulletin – an update
and a progress tracker for each activity of the program
will be internally shared electronically to all the RCG and
country team members of FBLI and IDRC.
OM tool shared with country team
The OM tool is implemented at country level and regional level
The OM tool is implemented at country level and regional level
Self-reflection, an informal and participatory evaluation,
implemented yearly is a joint effort to generate and reveal
dynamics and outcomes created by the members of the
network and to facilitate a self-reflection process among all
FBLI members building up the track records of FBLI in
participatory and self-reflective way.

Outcome Mapping including key indicators to measure
progress toward program outcomes is being developed by
the Coordinating Unit of the project, with support from an
international consultant and with collaboration with the
RCG members.
