Towards Evidence-Informed Adaptive Management: A Roadmap for Development and Humanitarian Organisations

This working paper, produced under the Global Learning for Adaptive Management (GLAM) iniative, sets out four steps for strengthening evidence-informed adaptive management:

1) Establish the need for evidence in adaptive management (why, what and how).

2) Consider the appropriate types and levels of evidence.

3) Assess the robustness of that evidence, including whether and how it can be used for decision-making.

4) Ensure the basis of adaptive management decision-making is sound, transparent and documented.
