This document outlines the monitoring and evaluation plan for a climate change project. It discusses the purpose and activities of M&E, who is responsible, and how results will be reported. The M&E will have three levels - regional, national, and field/city project level. It will include evaluation questionnaires, a tool to assess national progress over time, and indicators for each national project. All experts and national entities will implement M&E under the guidance of an M&E expert. Results will inform adaptation/mitigation options and help stakeholders make climate-related decisions. Lessons learned will also be reported.
PEG M&E tool: a tool for monitoring and reviewing Progress, Effectiveness & G...Tariq A. Deen
The session will provide details on: the tool developed by the LEG for monitoring and evaluating progress, effectiveness and gaps (PEG M&E tool) and its application in the process to formulate and implement NAPs; and the best practices for developing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems for adaptation at the national level. It will also look at the experiences of countries in developing and applying M&E systems at their national levels.
The Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) has developed National Adaptation Plan technical guidelines. These guidelines will assist developing countries in producing their National Adaptation Plans in a comprehensive and strategic manner.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

• Which M&E activities will take place ?
• How M&E will be undertaken ?
• Who is responsible ?
• What will be reported to whom, how and when ?
• How lessons will be learned ?

• Evaluation: “The impartial assessment against

4. The monitoring process of the project implementation will be
implemented at three levels:
At the regional level:
through evaluation sheets of
participants to training events.
At the national level to follow the overall evolution of CC
policies situation, using the monitoring tool (Spider Graphs)
described in the methodology.
At field/city project level: results achieved according to
SMART indicators agreed upon at the first meeting of the pilot
actions
5. Systematic monitoring (evaluation questionnaires) of Regional/national
capacity building at each event.
National tool to assess and monitor the national situation in each country will
be done using the tool that was used during the inception phase to establish a
‘baseline situation’: “Spider graphs” as reference & proposed targets. Exercise
repeated on a yearly basis to obtain a visual assessment of progress made.
SMART indicators for each national project will be jointly agreed with
beneficiaries at the first project meeting as described in the project concepts.
They will describe the resources or capabilities needed to act on the
particular climate risks, hazards, or drivers of vulnerability that the
intervention addresses.
6. The «M&E Mindset»
The actors
All Key Experts – together
with national relevant
entities - are in charge of
planning and implementing
the M&E tasks with the
support of an M&E expert
who will facilitate project
follow-up and timely
reporting.
7. The results
• will inform on the identification of options for
adaptation/mitigation actions and/or sustained development
in the context of climate change.
• will be used to help stakeholders, such as policymakers or
communities, to make decisions about development in the
context of climate change
