Question

List five methods to monitor client progress against agreed goals.

Answer 1

Ans) Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is critical to ensure the long-term success of climate adaptation initiatives, plans and actions. It can help to demonstrate accountability to stakeholders and communities.
Monitoring, evaluation and review design is critical to ensure that information is used to inform decision-making, make appropriate adjustments, and report to stakeholders and decision makers. Without a clear link between monitoring and decision-making, there is a risk that monitoring activities and resources will be seen as a drain on resources and discontinued.  
Trigger points can be identified and monitored and, when reached, can stimulate the implementation of the next action in a sequence. In identifying trigger levels for response, it is important to consider the time required for the decision to be made and implemented. This should include acknowledging the time that may required for effective stakeholder engagement, or for any detailed investigation, design and development of actions that may be required.
Evaluation helps you to learn from what you have planned and what has been done. It helps with considering what changes need to be made to your planning approach, your plan and associated activities to get adaptation outcomes.
Your monitoring program should include a variety of measurements which enable you to report to your organisation and stakeholders about your activities.
Monitoring should include outputs, immediate and short-term outcomes, and longer term outcomes.
Stakeholder feedback is essential. People or groups who have an interest in the plan, or who are responsible for delivering various actions, must be made aware of any changes that affect them. Importantly, consideration must be given to how the plan is being amended so that the planning cycle can be continued.
Monitoring, evaluation and review is not the end of the adaptation planning cycle, it is a new beginning!!
