Framework of milestones and indicators for community-based adaptation

This framework presents a range of enabling factors which, according to the author, must be in place at different levels in order for effective community-based adaptation to take place. In this document, the framework is extended with a set of proposed milestones and indicators to help project teams in planning activities and tracking progress towards achieving the enabling factors, including disaster risk reduction strategies to reduce the impact of hazards on vulnerable households. The approach reflects the fact that adaptation is a process – the milestones and indicators are focused on monitoring and evaluating the adaptive capacity of target populations rather than fixed outcomes.
