SLIDE 8 Common findings from evaluation reports
S everal evaluations found adaptation performing better compared to mitigation, overall:
"For adapt at ion, t he overall pict ure is st ronger, wit h around one t hird of t he proj ect s showing very st rong effect iveness and t he maj orit y showing moderat e t o st rong effect iveness." S DC effect iveness report 2014
Synergies underexploited: Climate adaptation and climate mitigation synergies should be harnessed as they are often interlinked to achieve multi-faceted results. Ex. REDD+
Low ownership: Low local partner involvement in intervention design
Canada Climat e Change Development Fund evaluat ion, "A maj or short coming of t he CCCDF was t he lack of part icipat ion of developing count ry part ners. Owing t o t he t ime const raint s and t he imperat ive t o meet Government of Canada obj ect ives, t here was lit t le consult at ion wit h developing count ries in set t ing up t he Fund or in proj ect select ion. In some inst ances part nerships were not solidified before proj ect s were approved."
Insufficient action, shallow treatment: Very general interventions, correspondingly
- evaluation. Inclusion of climate change as crosscutting issue but still regarded as
insuf f icient . Frequent recommendations of scaling up of efforts
Uneven coverage: S
- me sectors, such as clean energy, resilient agriculture receiving more
attention than others (as a consequence evaluation pool is also uneven)
