23 July 2020

This webinar took place on Thursday July 23, 2020 - 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. (GMT) and provided African Francophone Least Developed Countries (LDCs) a platform for sharing knowledge on the links between National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and the strengthening of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for climate change.

To support countries in sharing experience on the topic, the National Adaptation Plan Global Support Programme (NAP-GSP) partnered with the NAP Global Network to organize a webinar in July 2020 for Francophone African LDCs. The webinar was part of a series of webinars organized by the NAP-GSP and funded by the Global Environment Facility to promote a South-South exchange on National Adaptation Plans (NAP) among LDCs. The objective of this webinar was to discuss how the process to formulate and implement NAPs can strengthen M&E mechanisms for climate change adaptation at national level and, in turn, informs their NDCs.

What was discussed:

1. The means and indicators to measure progress in terms of adaptation within the transparency framework of the Paris Agreement.

2. The establishment of systems for monitoring and evaluating progress in terms of adaptation.

3. Make the link between the monitoring and evaluation system for adaptation and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Sendai monitoring framework and surveillance systems for communicable diseases in the context of COVID-19.

The online event brought together 104 participants from 26 countries and heard two presentations from the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. From Burkina Faso, Arouna Dolobzanga from the Ministry of Environment, Green Economy and Climate Change delivered a presentation on M&E challenges in terms of adaptation. Jean Douglas Anaman, the Coordinator of the UNDP NAP GSP project in Cote d’Ivoire presented on defining adaptation metrics by using vulnerability index.  Following these country experiences, the participants entered breakout rooms dedicated to three topical challenges. The full webinar recording is available below.
