Progress in developing a national monitoring and evaluation system for adaptation in the agriculture sector: a multi-country case study

This case study aims to provide an overview and analysis of lessons learned from different approaches used in nine countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, in which the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) programme was implemented, to promote monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of adaptation in the agriculture sectors as part of National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes. The case study focus on concrete country experiences in advancing adaptation M&E in the agriculture sector.

Colombia case study: Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through NAPs

This country case study on Colombia is part of a series that describes the steps taken to formulate and implement National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), with a particular emphasis on adaptation in agriculture (including forestry, livestock and fisheries). The series aims to provide national policy makers with valuable information from colleagues and counterparts in Asia, Africa and Latin America who are on the same NAP journey to address the multiple challenges posed by climate change.

Guatemala case study: Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through NAPs

This country case study on Guatemala is part of a series that describes the steps taken to formulate and implement National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), with a particular emphasis on adaptation in agriculture (including forestry, livestock and fisheries). The series aims to provide national policy makers with valuable information from colleagues and counterparts in Asia, Africa and Latin America who are on the same NAP journey to address the multiple challenges posed by climate change.

Colombia: advancing monitoring and evaluation of adaptation in the agriculture sector

This case study provides an overview and analysis of lessons learned in developing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of adaptation in the agriculture sector in Colombia, as part of a broader national adaptation M&E system. It presents the policy and institutional context for adaptation M&E in Colombia; the process, theory and methodology applied for designing the adaptation M&E system and in particular its agriculture components; and the outcome, or the vulnerability and risk analysis, and the indicators, that have been identified for assessing adaptation in the agriculture sector. Finally, lessons learned in terms of challenges, successes and next steps are discussed.

Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Programme (NAP-Ag): Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through National Adaptation Plans

This case study chronicles Viet Nam’s experiences in conducting vulnerability and risk assessments (VRAs) of selected agriculture sectors at the national level and a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to support sectoral adaptation planning, budgeting, and policy formulation. Lessons learned from these endeavors can provide insights for other countries who are seeking, like Viet Nam, to develop an evidence-based and climate risk-informed National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and/or adaptation plans for the agriculture sector.

 
Evaluation of the project "Integrating Agriculture into National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag)"

The evaluation found that NAP-Ag’s country-driven, multi-sector and multi-level approach allowed for ample engagement of stakeholders, contributed to establish coordination mechanisms and promoted ownership of results. The approach was qualitative and included a questionnaire, extensive documentation review and interviews with key-stakeholders in all countries.

Public expenditure analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector: A case study of Uganda

This paper presents a methodology for public expenditure review and analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector. It outlines the basic methodological concepts, including the classification of public expenditures in the context of their links to climate change adaptation and mitigation. It also illustrates how such analysis can usefully contribute to policy decision making to better achieve the climate change adaptation and mitigation goals using the case study of Uganda.

Public expenditure analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector: a case study of Kenya

This document presents a proposed methodology for public expenditure review and analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector (PERCC) and its application to a case study of Kenya. It starts by explaining the basic methodological concepts, classification and labelling of public expenditures that allow for calculating spending in agriculture related to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Using climate services in adaptation planning for the agriculture sectors

This brief provides an overview of climate services (CS) and how they can be used to assess risk and optimise adaptation decision-making in the agriculture sectors.1 It highlights entry points to integrate CS across all elements of adaptation planning, while acknowledging the challenges and limitations of using CS, particularly in Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The brief also discusses key considerations in using climate services for planning and provides technical guidance on dealing with the uncertainty and confidence of climate projections.

Guatemala´s progress in developing a national monitoring and evaluation system for adaptation in the agriculture sector

This case study provides an overview and analysis of lessons learned in developing a national monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system for adaptation in the agriculture sector in Guatemala, led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Security (MAGA). It presents the climate and policy context into which the M&E system is developed; the consultative process that was applied for designing the M&E system; and the outcome, or the M&E system itself. Finally, lessons learned in terms of challenges, successes and next steps are discussed.
