AdaptationCommunity.net under “Monitoring & Evaluation”. Since early 2013, the knowledge portal AdaptationCommunity.net provides introductions to key topics, examples frompractice,webinar recordings andpublications on four focal topics includingclimate information, vulnerability assessment,mainstreamingand NationalAdaptationPlanning aswell asmonitoring and evaluation. It is operated by GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH), the Table 18.4 (continued) Approach: defining andmonitoringmilestones in theNAPprocess Benefits and limitations Agreeingonmilestones or targets for theNAPprocess canprovide orientation for its implementation.Comparing actual progresswith milestonesdoesnotdirectlyprovideanunderstandingofhowandwhy themainstreamingprocessworksornot,but itcanindicate theneedfor adjustments or further analysis Resources needed Ingeneral, resource requirements are lowcompared to otherM&E approaches since someof the data is expected tobe readily available fromdocument analysis Examples from practice TheLeastDevelopedCountriesExpertGroup (LEG)has defined ten “Essential functions” that theNAPprocess shoulddeliver to countries (UNFCCC2013).TheNAPprocesscansubsequentlybemonitoredon whether these functions are fulfilled in a given country.TheLEGhas developeda tool for this purpose (“PEGtool”)whichdefinesexpected outcomes and a list of specificquestions for each essential function TheStocktakingforNationalAdaptationPlanning(SNAP)toolbyGIZ (2014) defines seven success factors for theNAPprocess.Countries can assess their current and intended future level on these success factors.
