The document discusses the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system developed for adaptation projects in Angola, specifically addressing climate change. It highlights challenges such as capacity limitations and the simplicity of the system, which primarily tracks progress rather than measuring results. The M&E system aims to help improve resilience against climate impacts through an annual report that informs policy and project development.

2. M&E for Adaptation Projects
• We built an M&E System to evaluate the progress
of Adaptation projects being implemented and
projects on the way to start implementation.
• Due to lack of capacity and limited qualified
human resources, we didn’t reach the level of
developing specific indicators to major the
effectiveness and efficiency. Is a simple excel
database that can be managed by people using it.

4. • The system is being used to monitor and
evaluate a GEF funded project on Early
Warning System in the south side of Angola
(Cunene Province), an area affected by severe
droughts in one side and floods on the other
side.
• The project started in 2015 and aims to
promote and develop resilience to CC impacts
in order to reduce disasters risk.

5. • Because of its simplicity, this system is more a
tracking process and not exactly a measuring
results process.
• But allow us to have a clear idea of the
progress of the project.

6. M&E System on NAP
• NAP process is complex and can not be
monitored and evaluated by simple system.
• We are working to make this system much more
efficient and effective by using the PEG Tool
which allows to carryout a continuous and more
complete evaluation and monitoring process
from the formulation to the implementation of
adaptation projects, programs and policies.

7. Outcome
• From this system we get an annually report as
a result.
• This report is suppose to provide information
to help the Government and agencies or
partners on formulating of programs, policies
or projects.
• We expect to identify gaps if there are some.

8. Lessons learnt
• It doesn’t matter the conditions we have to
make things work, we have to find a way to
make things work and to achieve good results
and find a way to always make things better.
