Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Fiji’s National Adaptation Plan Process

The report outlines a structured approach for Fiji to track 160 prioritized adaptation actions across five systems and five sectoral components. It proposes a two-part M&E methodology combining a simple 'traffic light' monitoring system for progress with a more complex process- and results-based evaluation for effectiveness. The framework emphasizes the need for interministerial coordination, the use of primary and secondary data sources, and the potential for an online National Adaptation Registry to centralize information. It also highlights the importance of aligning the NAP M&E with international commitments such as the Paris Agreement, Sustainable Development Goals, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

• Fiji's National Adaptation Plan, launched in December 2018, identifies 160 prioritized adaptation actions to be delivered over five years, divided into five systems components and five sectoral components.
• The proposed M&E methodology consists of two parts: a simple monitoring system using traffic light colors (Red, Amber, Green) to summarize progress, and a more sophisticated process- and results-based evaluation to assess effectiveness.
• The results-based evaluation component distinguishes between process-based measures (inputs, activities, and outputs) and results-based measures (outcomes and impacts) to monitor the effectiveness of adaptation actions.
• M&E of international policies and agreements in Fiji is currently fragmented, leading to overlaps in reporting across different ministries.
• The framework recommends that the Climate Change and International Cooperation Division (CCICD) exploit synergies between international commitments, such as using the 2020 revision of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to better recognize the NAP process.
• Data collection for M&E should be performed by those implementing the adaptation actions, utilizing a prioritized list of primary and secondary information sources.
• The Climate Change Bill 2019 provides for the creation of an online National Adaptation Registry, which could serve as a centralized repository for data from national vulnerability assessments and other M&E information.
• The framework suggests establishing steering groups led by government agencies with both sectoral and cross-sectoral representation to oversee the implementation and M&E of each NAP component.
• Evaluating achievements in the NAP process is expected to be challenging due to the long-term nature of adaptation, complex relationships between policies, and uncertainties in attributing outcomes to specific actions.
