| Bellagio Framework for Adaptation Assessment and Prioritization | At the end of 2008, the World Resources Institute convened a technical workshop in Bellagio, Italy to start to develop a shared set of critical adaptation functions. The resulting “Bellagio Framework”, written up in this working paper, can be used to help identify strengths and gaps in adaptation capacities in a given country, as a basis for prioritizing adaptation actions and target resources. Although it is aimed at identifying strengths and gaps in national adaptation functions some of the principles apply at much smaller scales | http://www.wri.org/publication/bellagio-framework-for-adaptationassessment-and-prioritization |
| Monitoring and Evaluation for Adaptation:Lessons from Development Cooperation Agencies | This OECD Working Paper is an assessment published in 2011 of M&E frameworks used by development co-operation agencies for projects and programmes with adaptation-specific or adaptation-related components. It has analysed 106 project documents across six bilateral development agencies. Based on this, it identifies the characteristics of M&E for adaptation and shares lessons learned on the choice and use of indicators for adaptation. | Lamhauge, N., E. Lanzi and S.

| Measuring adaptation to climate change - a proposed approach | This paper proposes a framework for exploring, prioritising and selecting an initial set of indicators of adaptation. This will be used by the UK Government to understand how well the UK is adapting to its changing climate and preparing for future climate scenarios. Snapshots, taken at particular times in the future and which examine the UK’s resilience to its changing climate, will be able to help monitor progress and reach a judgement as to the status of the UK’s adaptation, i.e. its ‘adaptation status’. | http://archive.defra.gov.uk/environment/climate/documents/100219-measuring-adapt.pdf |
| Making Adaptation Count: Concepts and Options for Monitoring and Evaluation of Climate Change Adaptation, World Resources Institute | This report aims to provide adaptation and development practitioners with a practical framework for developing monitoring and evaluation systems that can track the success and failure of adaptation initiatives in the development context. It offers sections on the challenges involved and the need to see evaluation in the context of learning, indicators for adaptation action, adaptive capacity and sustainable development and opportunities for intervention. | http://www.wri.org/publication/making-adaptation-count |
| AdaptME | The AdaptME toolkit was designed to equip adaptation practitioners to develop a robust evaluation process by think through some of the factors that can make an evaluation of adaptation activities inherently challenging. It can be used to tweak individual parts of an evaluation design or use multiple tools to build a new. This toolkit will help you to: refine evaluation purpose and objectives; reflect on what you are trying to evaluate and the logic behind this; understand how specific traits of climate adaptation can make evaluation challenging and how you can overcome these challenges; understand how to develop evaluation as a process of learning and draw out, explore and disseminate key learning; understand and re-evaluate assumptions underpinning the approach; consider how progress and performance might be best measured and evaluated; identify examples, good practice and techniques which may help ensure the evaluation is robust in the context of climate change and prioritise evaluation activities, recognising that evaluations need to be proportionate to the investment and are resource limited. This toolkit was developed in response to a growing demand for practical support in evaluating adaptation progress and performance, and enhances Step 5 of the UKCIP Adaptation Wizard (Monitor and Review) although it can be applied to any work on adaptation. | http://www.ukcip.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/AdaptME/AdaptME.pdf |
| Climate - eval.org | Climate-Eval.org is the online platform of the Climate-Eval community of practice. It is a venue for members to share information on the latest development on the evaluation of climate change and development interventions. The website features an electronic library, blog, and studies page as modes of sharing evaluation reports, opinion and tools relevant to our community of practice. There are also online discussions on climate change and evaluation are hosted through a Linkedin site. | http://www.climate-eval.org/?q=home |
| Gender Evaluation Methodology | Gender Evaluation Methodology is a guide to integrating a gender analysis into evaluations of initiatives particularly those that use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for social change. It provides a means for determining whether interventions are really improving women's lives and gender relations at the individual, institutional, community and broader social levels. The guide provides users with an overview of the evaluation process (including links to general evaluation resources) and outlines suggested strategies for incorporating a gender analysis throughout the evaluation process. It can also be used to ensure that a gender concerns are integrated into a project planning process. | http://www.apcwomen.org/gem/ |
