M&E for Adaptation Projects

• We built an M&E System to evaluate the progressof Adaptation projects being implemented andprojects on the way to start implementation.

• Due to lack of capacity and limited qualifiedhuman resources, we didn’t reach the level ofdeveloping specific indicators to major theeffectiveness and efficiency. Is a simple exceldatabase that can be managed by people using it.

• Database example

Gaps Observations

• The system is being used to monitor andevaluate a GEF funded project on EarlyWarning System in the south side of Angola(Cunene Province), an area affected by severedroughts in one side and floods on the otherside.

• The project started in 2015 and aims topromote and develop resilience to CC impactsin order to reduce disasters risk.

• Because of its simplicity, this system is more a tracking process and not exactly a measuring results process.

• But allow us to have a clear idea of the progress of the project.

M&E System on NAP

• NAP process is complex and can not bemonitored and evaluated by simple system.

• We are working to make this system much moreefficient and effective by using the PEG Toolwhich allows to carryout a continuous and morecomplete evaluation and monitoring processfrom the formulation to the implementation ofadaptation projects, programs and policies.

Outcome

• From this system we get an annually report asa result.

• This report is suppose to provide informationto help the Government and agencies orpartners on formulating of programs, policiesor projects.

• We expect to identify gaps if there are some.

Lessons learnt

• It doesn’t matter the conditions we have to make things work, we have to find a way to make things work and to achieve good results and find a way to always make things better.
