1. Monitoring & Evaluation
Annie Bonnin Roncerel, M&E expert
1st Project Steering Committee Brussels, 11th-12th September 2013

2. • What is the purpose of the M&E system ?
• Which M&E activities will take place ?
• How M&E will be undertaken ?
• Who is responsible ?
• What will be reported to whom, how and when ?
• How lessons will be learned ?
• When M&E will be carried out ?

3. • Monitoring: “The continuous analysis of project progress toward a project
objective with the purpose of improving project management”.
• Evaluation: “The impartial assessment against
objectives of
(efficiency),
programme/project design,
effectiveness (outcomes), impact
intended or not) and sustainability ”.

defined plans and

4. The monitoring process of the project implementation will be
implemented at three levels:
 At the regional level:
through evaluation sheets of
participants to training events.
 At the national level to follow the overall evolution of CC
policies situation, using the monitoring tool (Spider Graphs)
described in the methodology.
 At field/city project level: results achieved according to
SMART indicators agreed upon at the first meeting of the pilot
actions

5.  Systematic monitoring (evaluation questionnaires) of Regional/national
capacity building at each event.
 National tool to assess and monitor the national situation in each country will
be done using the tool that was used during the inception phase to establish a
‘baseline situation’: “Spider graphs” as reference & proposed targets. Exercise
repeated on a yearly basis to obtain a visual assessment of progress made.
 SMART indicators for each national project will be jointly agreed with
beneficiaries at the first project meeting as described in the project concepts.
They will describe the resources or capabilities needed to act on the
particular climate risks, hazards, or drivers of vulnerability that the
intervention addresses.

6. The «M&E Mindset»
The actors
All Key Experts – together
with national relevant
entities - are in charge of
planning and implementing
the M&E tasks with the
support of an M&E expert
who will facilitate project
follow-up and timely
reporting.

7. The results
• will inform on the identification of options for
adaptation/mitigation actions and/or sustained development
in the context of climate change.
• will be used to help stakeholders, such as policymakers or
communities, to make decisions about development in the
context of climate change
