Examples of indicators measuring reduction in vulnerability (GEF,
2011)
Outcome: Based on development sector that the project targets
-
Infection rate of population to climate-sensitive diseases as compared
with past population infected per year in similar climatic conditions
(percentage change disaggregated by gender)
-
Number of additional people with access to safe water supply and basic
sanitation services given existing and projected climate change
(number disaggregated by gender)
-
Increase in water supply in targeted areas (tons/m3)
-
Percentage change in projected food production in targeted areas given
existing and projected climate change (tons/year)
-
Percentage of population with access to improved flood and drought
management (percentage disaggregated by gender)
Impact indicators measure the long-term effects of project outcomes and
capture the change in adaptive capacity and resilience to climate shocks
of both human and natural systems. The assessment of such a change with
respect to the baseline level determines the impact of the adaptation
intervention. Thanks to the adaptation process facilitated by the
project, increased resilience and adaptive capacity should be achieved
in relation to (AFB 2011, World Bank, 2009):
-
Current climate variability: impact evaluation can be carried out a
few years after completion of the project.
-
Long-term climatic trends: impact evaluation should ideally be carried
out at regular intervals for many years after project completion
