Monitoring and Evaluation

Key risks, as well as less urgent risks, and the effectiveness of CCA and CRM actions on key risks will need to be monitored and evaluated, which also includes an element of learning. This step generally focusses on understanding changing conditions with regard to climate risk as well as CRM/CCA. While monitoring entails tracking progress with regard to the CRA process as well as CRM/CCA implementation, evaluation seeks to understand the effectiveness of CRA and CRM/CCA action. Learning entails consideration of insights gained during processing the various CRA steps and it may lead to adjusting the processes particularly if basic conditions or expectations undergo change. The Monitoring and Evaluation step produces new information – this can then feed into the CRA cycle designed for iterative repetition with the goal of delivering new insights for the scoping step as well as additional input for and from participatory processes.
