BOX R An approach to learning for project developers and donors: learning about the impacts of the project over time Monitoring progress along impact pathways: In a project which aimed to build a multi-stakeholder approach to climate adaptation in rural Indonesia, indicators were developed to reflect progress along the impact pathway (Figure 19). The impact pathway was designed with three sequential phases: • Phase 1 was within the project’s control and aimed to build the capacity of the research team to undertake systems analysis and participatory planning. • This enabled Phase 2, when collaborative boundary partners involved in the participatory planning developed policies and programs for adaptation. • In turn, this led to Phase 3, where implementation and adoption of the policies and programs were intended to reach the ultimate goal of reducing the vulnerability of rural communities. There was an assumed trajectory of cumulative capacity for systemic change among stakeholders through the three phases, and indicators were designed to measure changes in this capacity. Interviews were carried out with the research team and other stakeholders at the project end, and interviewees were asked to give scores for the indicators. Results indicated that capacity-building had been strong in Phase 1, with leadership, trust, new knowledge and social networks emerging. There was also early evidence of outcomes in Phase 2 (management plans, new resources and projects) and impacts in Phase 3. The weakest indicator was institutional changes, suggesting that more action was needed to alter policies and social structures which would otherwise constrain future attainment of the project goal. The results of this evaluation were used by the research team to design the subsequent phase of the project. 82 RAPTA guidelines for project design
