|a This publication summarizes efforts by member organizations of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to monitor and evaluate policies, projects, and programs implemented as component parts of the climate change adaptation (CCA) process. The UNFCCC asserts that monitoring and evaluating policies, projects, and programs represents a crucial step in the adaptation process, allowing implementing agents to measure the success, usefulness, and effectiveness of an adaptation plan or measure. This information is then utilized to inform other processes. Monitoring, the UNFCCC points out, enables planners to see if an adaptation measure is in harmony with the goal for which it is implemented. Evaluation, on the other hand, is described as a tool used to determine the effectiveness of an adaptation measure in terms of achieving its goal. The main contribution of monitoring and evaluation processes, the UNFCCC argues, is that they enable stakeholders to identify and share good and bad practices. In terms of gaps, the UNFCCC identifies the insufficiency of human, financial, and technical resources as critical barriers to effectively monitoring and evaluating progress towards adaptation. As a result, the UNFCCC advocates for seeking ways to maximize the use of current monitoring and evaluation systems, being sure to identify both their strengths and weaknesses. It also calls on policy-makers and implementers to ensure that the multi-sectoral, multi-scale, and multi-stakeholder nature of the adaptation process is taken into account when developing monitoring and evaluation tools. And lastly, it places emphasis on improving mechanisms for the dissemination of information found during monitoring and evaluating processes. |
