- 1. Page 1 Current Landscape and GIZ Approaches to M&E NAP Expo 11 April 2019, Songdo Na-Hyeon Shin GIZ Climate Policy Support Programme
- 2. Page 2 Rationale for M&E of adaptation • How does climate vulnerability change over time? • What impacts do undertaken adaptation actions have? • Are target groups getting more resilient over time? Monitoring & Evaluation (+learning and reporting) 1. Monitoring implementation ✓ (NAP) process on track? 2. Understanding results/outcomes ✓ Adaptation goals/objectives being achieved? ✓ Climate vulnerability reduced?

Page 5 Many countries (> 40) are developing adaptation M&E systems - Aim: better understanding of adaptation achievements - Important source of information domestically & internationally, i.e. for the Transparency Framework, Adaptation Communications, Global Stocktake Current landscape of M&E Source: Leiter (2017).

- 6. Page 6 GIZ‘s work on adaptation M&E ➢ Developing targeted methods and tools • Adaptation M&E toolbox • Including guidebooks, excel tools, training materials • M&E tailored to national and project-level ➢ Supporting partner countries in the development of national adaptation M&E systems ➢ Capacity building and outreach • Adaptation M&E Training course • Side events and conferences

- 8. Page 817/04/2019 Lessons learned Lack of outcome focus • Still focused on process and output level • Need to understand actual adaptation contribution Limited learning and information sharing • Focus often towards simple indicators • Need to understand HOW & WHY adaptation worked (or didn‘t) • Need to share information more effectively Limited connectivity across scales • Adaptation M&E often limited to a specific level • How to meaningfully assess adaptation globally?
