Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems for National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes are essential for countries to track, assess and learn from their progress on adaptation. MEL systems can help countries to understand the effectiveness of their NAP processes, support mutual accountability and transparency to stakeholders, and contribute to learning to accelerate adaptation actions.

7. Who is the Adaptation Committee?
Adaptation Committee
The Adaptation Committee (AC) was established 2010 under the UNFCCC and also serves the
Paris Agreement.
The AC fulfils five core functions:
Promoting synergy
and strengthening
engagement with
national, regional and
international
organizations,
centres and networks
Sharing relevant
information,
knowledge,
experience and
good practices
Providing
technical support
and guidance to
the Parties
Providing
information and
recommendations
for consideration by
Parties
Considering
information
communicatedby
Parties on their
monitoring& reviewof

9. Why are MEL systems for NAP processes important?
Adaptation Committee
2. National MEL systems lay the foundation for effective, inclusive
and transformative adaptation processes.
Understanding the
effectiveness
of NAP processes
Enhancing efficiency
Improving adaptive
management and
mutual accountability
Mobilizing domestic,
international, public, and
private finance
Strengthening equity

10. Why are MEL systems for NAP processes important?

3. National MEL systems
generate information for
international reporting and
communications purposes.

12. Why are MEL systems for NAP processes important?
Adaptation Committee
5. The UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience sets a target
focused on MEL:
”By 2030 all Parties have designed, established and
operationalized a system for monitoring, evaluation and learning
for their national adaptation efforts and have built the required
institutional capacity to fully implement the system.”

13. Why a new toolkit: the current landscape of MEL systems
Despite this widespread
recognition of critical
importance of MEL for
adaptation, the development
and application of MEL
systems continues to pose
significant challenges.

17. About the NAP Global Network
What we do:
Our goal: Enhance national adaptation planning and action in developing countries
Support national-level
action on NAP
development &
implementation.
Help countries learn
from each other through
South-South peer
learning and exchange.
developing countries
have received direct technical
support​.
65 Over people from 70+
countries have participated in
peer learning and exchanges.
600
Generate, synthesize, &
share knowledge on NAP
processes.
Over knowledge
materials have been produced.

18. The toolkit aims to support countries in the development
and implementation of national MEL systems for NAP
processes, by producing actionable guidance.
➜ Draws from over a decade of experience from the NAP
Global Network and the Adaptation Committee
➜ Developed for national government teams working on
MEL for adaptation; and supporting actors.
➜ Brings comprehensive theory and actions that are
essential yet feasible for MEL of adaptation by country
actors; not reinventing the (MEL) wheel.
➜ Features over 30 case studies.
Unveiling the Toolkit for MEL
for NAP Processes

19. How to define MEL for NAP processes?
➜ MEL occurs to both a distinct phase and a
dedicated set of activities throughout the
adaptation process.
➜ Monitoring and evaluation must be embedded in
learning throughout the NAP process
➜ What does this mean in practice for government
teams working on NAP processes?

20. How was the toolkit
produced?
• Kicked off in April 2023
• Engagement and consultations with 15 iNGOs and
CSO institutions, over 10 country partners and
global experts working on national MEL systems for
adaptation in June-November
• First draft and peer reviews: Sept-December
• Presentation at Adaptation Futures
• Consultation at Paris Committee on Capacity-
building session at COP28
• Presentations at AC23, 24, and 25
• Second draft and peer reviews: January-April

21. The toolkit presents the
main M-E-L actions that
countries should
undertake at different
stages of the iterative
adaptation cycle
*Improves readability and
accessibility for adaptation experts

22. Countries start working on their MEL systems at different
phases of the NAP process… there is rarely nothing in
place!
➜ We provide easy and navigable links between sections for
the readers to read according to their starting point(s).
Countries have different levels of capacities and resources
➜ We provide a comprehensive pictures of what MEL systems
can comprise… countries must contextualize to their
priorities and capacities – not all compulsory!
➜ Structure: 19 sub-actions with guidance + additional
resources.
➜ 33+ practical examples and country case studies included.
➜ Key resources from peer organizations and initiatives.
The toolkit acknowledges
critical realities of countries

23. Countries starting with
MEL frameworks can read
the toolkit in order of
actions – even if they are
already implementing
their NAP processes

24. Countries with existing
MEL frameworks can read
the toolkit in order of
phases – focusing key
actions at the stage of
their NAP processes

25. Easy navigation between
sections

26. Flagged throughout the toolkit:
➜ Important considerations
➜ Gender equality and social inclusion
considerations
➜ Practical examples from countries and other
initiatives
➜ List of easily accessible featured resources

27. Download the toolkit for MEL
for NAP processes

28. Next steps
➜ Development of an online course over 2024 –
launch early 2025
➜ Ongoing potential trainings by the Adaptation
Committee
➜ Review of the toolkit every 2-3 years to stay on
up-to-date
Your feedback and comments always welcome!
Next steps..
