WEBINAR | Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Process
How are countries developing national monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems for adaptation?
How are countries developing national monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems for adaptation?
M&E of adaptation aims to track progress in implementing adaptation interventions, and/or how these interventions are reducing vulnerability, improving adaptive capacity, and supporting the overall well-being of populations affected by the impacts of climate change. As more and more governments move from raising awareness for the necessity of adaptation to developing and implementing adaptation plans and policies—including the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process—M&E of adaptation at the national level is gaining importance.
