The MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning) course is aimed at building the capacity of climate adaptation champions. MEL is present and ongoing during every stage of a climate adaptation project or initiative: from the earliest steps of project design to the last activities of project closure. The second series of the MEL course delves deeper into the importance of MEL in climate adaptation and advocacy. This course is crucial to understanding the efforts to adapt to climate change, ensuring systematic progress over time. Unlike typical MEL, adaptation MEL requires capturing the complexities of climate impacts, such as shocks and stresses, and applying longitudinal research methods.

At the end of this course on MEL for Climate Adaptation, you will be able to explain:

  • The main definitions and differences between climate adaptation and climate mitigation.
  • The steps for designing a MEL system for climate adaptation.
  • The main concepts and frameworks for measuring climate adaptation advocacy impacts.
