Toolkit for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning for National Adaptation Plan Processes

The 'Toolkit for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning for National Adaptation Plan Processes' provides practical guidance for national government teams to develop and improve monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems, specifically focusing on the identification and use of adaptation indicators.

• Indicators are essential components of MEL systems because they provide structured, continuous data that allows governments to track the impact of policies and actions. They serve three primary functions: supporting accountability for decision-makers and partners, enabling learning by identifying successful and unsuccessful approaches, and linking national efforts to international reporting requirements.
• Creating an effective indicator framework is more than a technical task; it necessitates a comprehensive understanding of existing data systems, institutional landscapes, adaptation objectives, and the intended use of the findings.
• Strong, nationally owned MEL systems assist countries in meeting global transparency obligations, including the global stocktake under the Paris Agreement and the second round of Biennial Transparency Reports, which are due by the end of 2026.
