This paper identifies trends in how selected major international agencies have approached Climate Change Adaptation programmes, and particularly their MandE components. It is important to emphasise that this is not a meta-evaluation or systematic review of evidence or financial trends. Instead, this paper is an interpretive literature review based on the published portfolio evaluations of selected international agencies which finance or extend key technical assistance to CCA in Asia and the Pacific. We present past, present, and emerging trends in the evolving thinking and practice behind donors’ approaches to CCA DME. We believe that this reflective approach fills an important gap, and will help development practitioners and policy-makers better understand how to approach CCA DME in a way that reflects current trends, knowledge, and evidence. This in turn will enable them to not only satisfy current donor requirements, but reflect best practice in CCA DME. The sample of documents reviewed comprises portfolio evaluations published by UN and donor agencies within the past five years. However, there are limitations insofar as several important funders are not represented, either because their evaluations are kept internal, and / or their portfolios have not been evaluated as a whole. The information that we present should thus be regarded as illustrative rather than definitive. This also explains why we refrain from presenting pooled financial, performance, or technical data, and instead focus on broader messages. |
