RESULTS MONITORING AND REPORTING
GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 69 OF 101
H
Dynamic implementation–monitoring of project activities
Monitoring of project activities will be achieved through management actions, including monthly briefings with the GCF,
weekly staff meetings, and review of staff and adviser inputs to quarterly reports. A system will be established to
channel counterpart responses through activity feedback forms, and the findings will be incorporated in
recommendations for changes as needed.
Specific issues addressed in these feedback forms will include the quality of technical assistance provided by the
project, the quality and timeliness of the implementation data provided by the project, and the recipients’ response to
project assistance.
Dynamic implementation–monitoring results
Performance monitoring involves two related tasks: (a) analysing realized indicator values; and (b) evaluating the
overall results and impacts of the project. Realized (actual) indicator values will be analysed, focusing primarily—but
not exclusively—on those indicators whose values differ significantly from proposed levels. The question, “Why the
difference?” will be answered, and findings will be incorporated in recommendations for changes in indicator values,
specific tasks or expected results.
Specific issues to be addressed include the quality of reported data, such as timing and data classification, operation of
the data collection and reporting system, how related tasks were implemented, how recipients responded to assistance
as contrasted with expectations, and how closely indicator values are a function of identified tasks.
Progress reporting
The M&E system will provide information regarding project execution; progress towards achieving key targets; and,
probability to meet impacts and outcomes. The Project Coordinator will prepare reports for each regular meeting of the
PAC. An outside independent third party will conduct the mid-term review and the end-of-project evaluation. The midterm
review and the end-of-project evaluation will be presented by the consultants to the PAC and analysed in detailed
with the PMU. Lessons learned will be documented and communicated to the GCF, the GOP and the community of
development practitioners. Dissemination of lessons learned will include national and international meetings on REDD
and climate change. The GCF will be briefed on a regular basis and as needed.
Monitoring of capacity-building
The project will provide support for capacity-building to increase the sustainability of project investments. During
implementation, the project will create various indicators (e.g. number of people trained, number of government offices
supported) representative of the progress of building government capabilities, and of communities’ and associations’
capacity to develop plans to manage natural resources and implement activities for the creation of sustainable
livelihoods in order to promote trade, investment and private-sector development.
Monitoring implementation of pilots
The project will conduct various pilot programmes to test innovative technologies that could produce tangible impacts. A
number of indicators will be created (e.g. baseline studies for pilot programmes, M&E to ascertain the impact of pilot
programmes).
Proposed indicators
The proposed indicators are linked to project objectives and outputs. Indicators were selected based on the scope of
each result and the specifics of the activities involved. Each indicator in table H.1 is related to the corresponding
desired output. These indicators will be continually reassessed throughout project implementation.
