Abstract

The workshop brought together representatives and experts from 20 regional and sub regional organizations as well as donor agencies in the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) programme. Participants reviewed and discussed preliminary results of a baseline study on existing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices and toolkits. An M&E framework should be capable of providing a minimum set of indicators for adequate and timely measurement of expected project results and accomplishments. Ideally projects should focus on priorities within national development plans, with M&E allowing decision makers and others to assess the success of individual projects in terms of overarching policies and plans.
