Tracking Adaptation and Measuring Development: a step-by-step guide

This toolkit presents the Tracking adaptation and measuring development (TAMD), a conceptual framework to monitor and evaluate climate change adaptation. It provides step-by-step guidance to develop a robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework that can be used as part of local and national planning systems, or to assess and compare specific interventions. It will be useful for local and national government officials, development partners and NGO staff seeking to develop adaptation plans and M&E in different contexts.

This manual offers a step-by-step guide to how to assess the effectiveness of adaptation. It provides the reader with:

- An understanding of the key elements of the TAMD framework
- A step-by-step process for developing a robust M&E framework that can be used as part of local and national planning systems, or to assess and compare specific interventions
- Guidance on how the TAMD framework can be applied by different users – such as national governments, sectoral specialists, project and programme managers.

This is the first version of this guidance building on the experience of testing TAMD in Kenya, Mozambique, Nepal, Pakistan, Cambodia and Ethiopia.
