  <abstract>Reveals the roots of M&amp;E, illustrating its evolution from academia into a burgeoning field of science across various contexts. The challenge practitioners face lies in the inconsistent terminology used for identical concepts among humanitarian organizations, hindering the growth of M&amp;E through shared learning. Embracing an abductive approach, this book seeks to establish M&amp;E as distinct fields within social research. In doing so, it bridges the philosophical gap between novice and expert social researchers and provides a consolidated resource based on real-world experiences.</abstract>
