The Causality Assessment for Landscape Interventions (CALI) methodology supports adaptive management through promoting continuous, participatory reflection on the effectiveness of Project interventions in reducing deforestation at landscape or jurisdictional level. 

Although the CALI methodology aims to help predominantly Project teams by linking their interventions to the system that drives deforestation or land-use change in the landscape, it also benefits evaluators to assess causality mechanisms and system dynamics in which the Project operates.

The methodology proposed in the guidebook provides an integrated, systems-informed approach for project managers and their teams to continuously reflect on the validity of their Theory of Change, with a strong emphasis on unpacking causality between results at different levels.
