What is purpose of M&E?

•Monitoring: “The continuous analysis of project progress toward a project

objective with the purpose of improving project management”.

•Evaluation: “The impartial assessment against defined plans and objectives

of programme/project design, relevance, performance (efficiency),

effectiveness (outcomes), impact (positive and negative, intended or not)

and sustainability ”.

Which M&E acti viti es will take place?

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

How M&E will be undertaken?

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.

What will be reported to whom, how and when?

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.

How lessons will be learnt?

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

LOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE ENPI CLIMASOUTH PROJECT

Intervention logic Objecely verifiable indicators Sources of verification Countries covered

Overall objective

To support the transition of ENP South countries towards low carbon development and climate resilience, in a context of sustainable & democratic development, by enhancing regional cooperation, information sharing &capacity development on CC mitigation and adaptation between the EU & Mediterranean neighbors & among ENP partners themselves
