GOAL: To build the adaptive capacities of women and men

in their communities, increase the resilience of vulnerable
sectors and natural ecosystems to climate change, and
optimize mitigation opportunities towards a gender-
responsive and rights-based sustainable development.

EVALUATION SYSTEM (RBMES)
• Vision: A fully operational results-based M&E
system by Jan. 1, 2016 serving as a tool to improve
and adjust NCCAP targets and activities from 2014
to 2028.

• Mission : To accurately and progressively capture

the impact of the NCCAP through evidenced-based
methods and analyses, which will serve as bases for
periodic refinements and recalibration of NCCAP
strategies and tactics.
