TAMD Climate Change Indicator - Methodological Note. Indicator 4: Institutional Knowledge/Capacity

INDICATOR 4. INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE/CAPACITY~Level of knowledge and training of key personnel in climate change issues and mainstreaming processes

This indicator is designed to capture the extent to which development and adaptation planning is informed by knowledge of climate change in general and specific knowledge relating to methodologies for integrating or mainstreaming climate change into planning, and the extent to which planning staff are trained in relevant areas.

The indicator can be used to assess the performance of an individual capacity building programme, through evaluation of the target system (e.g. ministry, sector, institution) at the beginning, during, and at the end of the programme.

The indicator may also be used to assess institutional knowledge in systems targeted by multiple programmes.
