The Government of Grenada (GoG) has adopted a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for 2017-2021 to address the already experienced and projected future impacts of climate change. The NAP contains 12 Programmes of Action (PoA) including the development of a Monitoring and Evaluation System (PoA12; see 2.2 for details). The goal for that PoA is: “The implementation of proposed NAP measures is documented” and is measured by the indicator: “Assessment reports on the implementation of the NAP measures are released every 2 years and make recommendations on possible adjustments to the implementation process and for the update of the NAP document 2022-2027.”
Currently the government is in the process of identifying a clear and flexible mechanism for monitoring, as well as to establish and sharpen the M&E process drafted in the NAP. This shall be aligned with other climate related monitoring processes, including those under the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness programme and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) support.
