Approach

Revisit the high level objectives, outcomes or priorities as new policies and legislative frameworks

are developed to assess linkages, synergies and differences in terms of information collected

• National level

• Local level (Provinces & Municipalities)

• Organised private Sector

• Non-governmental Organisations

• State Owned Entities, Science Councils, Academia, Private Sector and other relevant sectors.

• Identify data and information needs to understand progress under each objective, outcome or priority.

• Identify data sources.

Broad and diverse consultations with a range of expertise to gain ownership and acceptance.

• Define how effectiveness will be assessed under each Desired Adaptation Outcome (DAO)

during consultations with range of expertise. • For example degree of integration of adaptation initiatives into plans and associated

policies;

– Low: Incorporation of adaptation into national, provincial and municipal plans

– Medium: Prioritisation and implementation of climate change adaptation related programmes/projects in national, provincial and municipal plans informed by risk profile and vulnerability assessment

– High: Impact of implementation of the programmes/projects in reducing the vulnerability identified

in risk profile and vulnerability assessment

Evaluation

• Coordinate high level technical issues with key role players. • Repackage high level technical issues to be relevant to target audiences with key role

players;

– Sectors (National)

– Local level – Private sector

– Communities through Non-governmental Organisations
