National Climate Change Adaptation
Emerging Practices in Monitoring and Evaluation
Developing countries are increasingly moving towards more strategic national policies and plans, the effectiveness of which will depend upon proper assessment of a given country’s vulnerability to climate change. This report draws upon emerging monitoring and evaluation practices across developed and developing countries to identify four tools that countries can draw upon in their own assessment frameworks: 1) climate change risk and vulnerability assessments, 2) indicators to monitor progress on adaptation priorities, 3) project and programme evaluations to identify effective adaptation approaches, and 4) national audits and climate expenditure reviews.
The appropriate mix of tools to monitor and evaluate national climate-change adaptation will to a large extent be determined by data availability, monitoring and evaluation capacity, and the ability to bring together the producers and the users of relevant climate information. The report also examines how development co-operation providers can support partner countries in their efforts to monitor and evaluate adaptation.

Effective monitoring and evaluation of climate change adaptation
This chapter examines two important enabling factors for national monitoring and evaluation of adaptation: i) data availability and monitoring and evaluation capacity; and ii) good co-ordination between the providers and the users of climate information. It also explores how providers of development co-operation can support partner countries in putting in place these enabling factors.
