Webinar: Benefits of investing in national monitoring and evaluation systems
Join our webinar on 2 Oct 2018 to discuss how developing countries can benefit from investing in national M&E systems for climate change adaptation - and go beyond narrow project or indicator-based monitoring systems.
Developing countries aiming to monitor and report on their progress on adaptation face numerous challenges, including a lack of capacity, complex metrics, and how to report on adaptation activities being undertaken across widely varied ecosystems and at different scales, from local to national.
This webinar will look at the benefits of investing in national Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) systems for climate change adaptation.
For many years, countries have been investing in MEL systems that help to monitor progress at project level. This webinar will investigate how countries can nurture national evaluation systems that go beyond narrow indicator-based methods and output-oriented techniques to measure national adaptation outcomes. Countries can invest in MEL systems to improve their national planning processes – and then use the MEL systems for reporting their progress under the Paris Agreement.
This webinar is designed for M&E practitioners and policymakers from developing countries, donors, as well as practitioners from the climate adaptation community.
