This evidence evaluation and subsector review analyzes data from twenty-two cases. Six macro-level violence reduction Theories of Change (ToC) were developed across three approaches from an analysis of the peacebuilding cases and the strength of evidence for each was assessed.

This study provides a highlevel analysis on DMEL requirements across funding types to assess similarities, differences, and best practices. Initial recommendations, based on the findings, are provided for peacebuilding funders to strengthen support for more effective peacebuilding DMEL.
