Examples from
practice
The Climate Investment Funds’ Pilot Program for Climate Resilience
(PPCR) has operationalized the indicators “Degree of integration of
climate change in national, including sector, planning” and the “Evidence of strengthened government capacity and coordination mechanism to mainstream climate resilience” through scorecards (R€ ohrer and
Kouadio 2015). The indicators are specified through five sub-questions
which are measured at national level against criteria to be defined by
the national stakeholders
To assess the development of mainstreaming capacity of line ministries
executing the Government of Ethiopia’s Climate-Resilient Green
Economy (CRGE) strategy a participatory self-assessment approach
was designed (Adler et al. 2015). An assessment matrix covering three
aspects of mainstreaming (planning, staff awareness and skills as well
as safeguards and equity) provides the scoring criteria. A qualified
assessor and the interviewees jointly agree on the score for each
component based on the assessment matrix
IIED’s Tracking Adaptation and Measuring Development (TAMD)
framework suggests indicators for climate risk management (track 1)
and for adaptation and development performance (track 2) based on a
theory of change. A number of generic indicators for track 1 have been
defined and can be assessed through scorecards (Brooks et al. 2014)

Table 18.4 Specific purpose: monitoring the implementation of National Adaptation Plan process
(NAP process)
Approach: defining and monitoring milestones in the NAP process
Background: The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process was established by the parties to the
UNFCCC to reduce vulnerability and integrate adaptation into policies and planning processes at
all levels (UNFCCC 2011). The initial guidelines for the formulation of NAPs state that least
developed country parties should “provide information in their national communications on the
progress made and the effectiveness of the national adaptation plan process.” (UNFCCC 2011,
p. 86)
Prospect
Knowing whether the NAP process in a particular country is advancing
in accordance to predefined milestones or targets
Potential use of M&E
findings
To track the implementation of the NAP process for management and
accountability purposes
Description
Milestones or targets for the NAP process in a particular country are
defined and their achievement monitored at agreed points in time. The
milestones or targets need to be specific enough to enable an unambiguous assessment based on document analysis or interviews
