MONITORING & EVALUATION
OF ADAPTATION IN
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Nicolina Lamhauge, OECD Environment Directorate
Task Team on Climate Change and Development Co-operation, 9-10 April 2014, Zürich, Switzerland

Why focus on the national level?
![Page 3: Monitoring & evaluation of adaptation in developing countries](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554a7f2cb4c90579288b5334/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

• To serve as a mechanism for continuous learning
– What progress has been made to implement strategic adaptation policies or plans?
– Is the country over time becoming less vulnerable or more resilient to the impacts of climate change?
• Monitoring and evaluation as an accountability measure
– Does resource allocation for adaptation reflect prioritised adaptation needs?
– Are policies and plans implemented in a cost-effective manner?
Objectives of national monitoring and evaluation of adaptation

Data availability and capacity
• Climate & socio-economic data to detect, predict and respond to climate change
• Capacity to use the data to monitor and evaluate the climate vulnerability
Co-ordination
• Brings together information providers and user
• Establishes clear roles and responsibilities
2 pre-requisites for monitoring and evaluation of adaptation

2 pre-requisites for monitoring and evaluation of adaptation
Domestic circumstances (rather than theory) tend to inform national frameworks being developed and implemented

Climate risk and vulnerability assessments
• Guide the allocation of resources
• Map the country’s climate vulnerability
• A “basis” against which progress on adaptation can be reviewed
• Periodic “snapshots” of changes in risks and vulnerabilities
• Monitor how priority adaptation needs evolve
• Inform an evaluation of the relevance of the policy approach on adaptation

Indicators for prioritised adaptation needs
• Monitor progress in addressing identified adaptation priorities
• Over time and between locations
• Identify scope of existing data sources and remaining gaps
• Build broad stakeholder engagement to ensure relevance and buy-in

Learning from adaptation approaches
• Identify approaches that effectively deliver adaptation objectives
• E.g. by learning from particularly large and/or pilot initiatives
• Contribute to evidence-based policy processes
• Understand the necessary pre-conditions

National audits and climate expenditure reviews
• Assess the alignment of resources with adaptation priorities and policy goals
• Is resource allocation cost-effective and does it meet principles of good governance
• Determine if institutional mechanisms are in place to manage/deliver climate finance

Title Contribution
1Climate risk and vulnerability assessments
• Establish a “baseline” • Provide periodic “snapshots” of
risk/vulnerability• Monitor how adaptation priorities change
2Indicators for prioritised adaptation needs
• Monitor adaptation priorities • Survey existing data sources and remaining
gaps• Build stakeholder engagement and buy-in
3Learning from adaptation approaches
• Identify “effective” adaptation approaches• Understand the necessary pre-conditions
4
National audits and climate expenditure reviews
• Assess alignment of resources with identified goals
• Examine if resource allocation is cost-effective and aligned with good-practice principles
