Assessing the Effectiveness of Climate Resilience Grants to Local Governments in Least Developed Countries
Effectively addressing climate change impacts, requires action and adaptation at the local level. The United Nations Capital Development Fund and the World Resources Institute (WRI) have created an adaptation monitoring and evaluation framework to enable the Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility (LoCAL) mechanism to address climate change more effectively. As well as allowing for a better understanding and sharing of the adaptation achievements. This working paper reflects the experiences of this project, focusing on three challenges faced along the way and introduces the LoCAL program and the Assessing Climate Change Adaptation Framework (ACCAF).
To measure and strengthen the impact of the Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility (LoCAL), a mechanism of the UNCDF, the World Resources Institute (WRI) created the Assessing Climate Change Adaptation Framework (ACCAF). The framework aims to improve how LoCAL and its partner governments address climate change. This working paper, written by Ayesha Dinshaw and Colleen McGinn, is a reflection on the experiences of creating the ACCAF; it identifies challenges in monitoring and evaluation (M&E), presents solutions to these challenges, and offers lessons that donors, practitioners, and specialists can adopt. This working paper and the ACCAF serve to further LoCAL's mission of building the capacity of local decision-makers and and practitioners as their communities adapt to climate change
