How Countries Are Advancing Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Across Their National Adaptation Plan Processes

Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems are a core component of both the national adaptation plan (NAP) process and the NAP document. They are designed to assess whether adaptation strategies are achieving their intended outcomes, to understand how and for whom they are effective, and to inform adjustments based on evidence. Essentially, MEL systems generate insights on what works, what does not, and why, […]
