Standards, Program and Project M&E
Adaptation metrics are especially challenging given the complexity of climate adaptation and resilience and what it means to different stakeholders involved in adaptation activities. Climate Adaptation Works has developed a portfolio of three analytical services to help clients measure their projects' and programs' success over time
FRAMEWORK & STANDARD EVALUATION
CAW experts can help strengthen your adaptation standards. Our review methodology consists of a combined quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the framework (hazard, threat, exposure, adaptive capacity).
CAW's Tools and Innovation Leader is an author of the Adaptation Metrics Mapping Evaluation Framework (AMME), a tool to help clients review and improve international metrics and evaluation frameworks. Find out more about AMME.
What we do
Benchmark and Alignment with Recognized Standards
Training & Education on Adaptation Best Practices
Development and Technical Review of metrics, and framework scopes
Testing & Implementation
program and project monitoring & evaluation
Adaptation M&E requires clarity in developing the appropriate metrics and tools to ensure that new and existing capacity are accurately accounted for. Climate Adaptation Works' Program & Project M&E team analyzes the consistency, relevancy, and accuracy of all metrics to ensure overall project robustness.
What we do
M&E Capacity Evaluation and Building
Personnel & Technology
External & Internal Data Gathering
Database & Blockchain Solutions
Drafting, Execution & Revision of M&E Plans
Third-party Auditor Services
Vulnerability Reduction Credit mechanism and Adaptation M&E systems and plans integration
Evaluation and monitoring of climate adaptation programs and projects
M&E is a requisite to ensure that adaptation activities and systems are effective at reducing vulnerability
grants for adaptation projects must consider their sustainable capacity over time
GRANT ADAPTATION PROGRAM DESIGN & EVALUATION
Resilience is the goal of long-term adaptation actions. It is also complex and often elusive, and the challenge of designing and implementing climate adaptation plans, programs, and projects for long-term resilience is a challenging one.
Do you need assistance incorporating effective adaptation actions and measures in your projects?
We work with grantmakers and donor institutions to build social and economic incentives and quantified impact measures into program and proposal design and implementation.
Your program will have the built-in tools to help you evaluate which actions and incentives increase effective outcomes - not just a year after project completion, but during implementation.
We can work with and train your program implementation partners, academic and industry grantees and their subcontractors.
What we do
Evaluate grantmaker and donor programs for climate adaptation
Program design
Quantified impacts of outcomes
Integrate adaptation projects, measures & evaluation into programs
Align projects with agency, government objectives
Incorporate adaptation in requests for proposals
To implementation partners
To grantees and contractors
Deploy incentives in adaptation project design for long-term success
Vulnerability Reduction Credits and others
Social and economic incentives
Directly to project participants
Training for your partners and grantees
Evaluate and Monitor climate adaptation programs and projects during and after project performance
Climate Adaptation Works has extensive experience in the design of adaptation M&E plans and execution of adaptation evaluations and monitoring activities. CAW experts developed the climate Vulnerability Reduction Credit (VRC™) and can help integrate it into adaptation M&E, and created the Adaptation Metrics Mapping Evaluation Framework (AMME) and have helped clients to in the review and improvement of major international metrics and evaluation frameworks. The AMME Framework is sanctioned by the International Platform on Adaptation Metrics as a standard for evaluating and coming up with metrics, and Climate Adaptation Works has client experience deploying the Framework.
