criterion
Key government
counterparts,
end-users and beneficiaries have relatively
high levels of understanding of CCA
programme’s
intended objectives,
and have clear ideas

adaptive capacity or
measures they need
+ Development of
adaptive capacities
and introduction of
new adaptive measures that are
requested by the

adaptive capacity
and high utilisation
level of adaptive
measures introduced

motivation level of
government officials
Relevant stakeholders
have strong sense of
ownership and have
adequate resources
and capabilities
+ Introduction of adaptive measures to the
stakeholders and
institutions with relevant mandate enables
‘rooting’ of these
measures inside the
