18.7 Conclusion
The Adaptation M&E Navigator is closing a gap in the existing landscape of
guidebooks and tools for adaptation M&E. First, it provides a list of specific
purposes for undertaking adaptation M&E in practice. In doing so it goes beyond
the frequently stated general purposes like accountability and learning which, taken
on their own, are not sufficient to decide upon particular M&E approaches. Secondly, the Adaptation M&E Navigator illustrates to decision makers the range of
available options and equips them with the necessary information to select among
those the most suitable one for their particular purpose. The Adaptation M&E
Navigator is hosted on an established online platform (www.
AdaptationCommunity.net) in the form of an easy to use web interface. By drawing
upon adaptation M&E approaches and examples available to date, the Adaptation
M&E Navigator also demonstrates the progress which has been made in this subject
area since the first International Conference on Evaluating Climate Change and
Development took place in 2009.
