Working towards Caribbean regional approach monitoring evaluating NAPs

The document advocates for a coordinated Caribbean approach to monitoring and evaluating National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), emphasizing the need for indicators that serve national interests rather than just donor requirements. Key recommendations include adopting a 'big picture' approach via national adaptation road maps, creating a pool of regional indicators, leveraging existing frameworks like the CIF-PPCR, and establishing M&E indicators at the start of the process to allow for incremental improvements.

• A 'big picture' approach is recommended, where a national adaptation road map for the NAP incorporates all priority sectors to avoid a 'disjointed, piecemeal approach' and allow for organized implementation as funding becomes available.
• Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) should be designed to inform progress toward climate resilience and national interests rather than being treated as a formality to meet donor expectations.
• The development of a pool of regional-level indicators that countries can adapt for national use is beneficial; this aligns with the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre’s 2011-21 report which calls for transparent and simple M&E data relevant to regional and national challenges.
• To manage capacity constraints, countries should build on existing M&E frameworks, such as the Climate Investment Funds’ Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (CIF-PPCR), instead of creating new reporting burdens from scratch.
• M&E indicators must be developed early in the process to enable ongoing monitoring and the ability to adjust to emerging issues, as evaluation at the end of a project prevents incremental improvements over time.
