Visualizing Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning in National Adaptation Planning Processes  

By Emilie Beauchamp, Lead, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning for Adaptation to Climate Change, NAP Global Network, IISD

Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems are used to provide a structured approach to monitoring progress, evaluating results, and learning to ensure climate change adaptation strategies are effectively achieving their intended outcomes. This blog builds on what the NAP Global Network has learned about effective NAP processes to identify and explain the basics of a MEL system as part of NAP processes.

Approches à la production de rapports d’avancement de la mise en œuvre du Plan national d’adaptation (PNA)

Par Patrick Guerdat, Institut international du développement durable (IIDD)

Cette année, le réseau mondial NAP a procédé à un examen des rapports d’avancement disponibles sur le NAP. Les résultats indiquent que les rapports diffèrent en termes d’objectifs énoncés, d’approches pour évaluer les progrès réalisés et de la façon dont les résultats sont présentés et communiqués. Nous voyons que le processus d’élaboration des rapports d’avancement des PAN présente de nombreux défis ainsi que de nombreuses opportunités pour renforcer les processus PAN.
