Impact Analysis CCBAP’s main contribution has been in enabling LNGOs/CBOs to work closely with commune councils, thus developing a bottom-up approach to local planning and budgeting. The policy guidance on mainstreaming climate change into commune development planning is not yet in place, but once approved and rolled out, this will institutionalise integrating climate change adaptation measures into Community Development Plans and Community Investment Programmes.
Effectiveness Ownership/Partnership Evaluation Communities mobilising additional resources outside the CCBAP support and capable of planning and implementing adaptation measures; examples of initiatives outside the CCBAP assistance.
Rating 3/5
Policy Coherence/Harmonization Evaluation There is scope for CCBAP to engage in learning-focused research and experimentation in areas where further research and evidence can help in better policy making, for example in: (i) making Farmers’ W ater User Committee effective; (ii) best practices and framework for village savings groups which can be sustainable.
Rating 3/5
Evaluation Framework Evaluation The evaluation assessed the overall performance against outcome and output indicators in the CCBAP Results and Resources Framework and identified and analysed the external and internal factors that contributed to or hindered project implementation and outcome, and drew lessons from these.
Rating 3/5
Alignment/Composition of Finance Evaluation Of the total expenditure of US$ 3.99 million, the project has allocated US$ 3.15 million (79%) toward grants which have gone directly into implementing activities delivering needs of communities. That the project has been able to benefit over 15,000 households has been made possible by the fact that the activities have been delivered through LNGO/CBOs which have low overhead cost. The evaluation has not analysed actual expenditure on various activities (canal/water reservoir; savings groups; training; livelihoods diversification; etc) under each grant as such detailed data against each grant is not maintained by CCBAP.
Rating 4/5
Other Remarks All projects funded by CCBAP have focused on four themes of adaptation strategy: access to water, resilient agriculture technique, livelihood improvement, and CCA awareness raising. In some villages, CCBAP has assisted farmers in using drip irrigation methods for vegetable farming, a highly appropriate adaptation measure.
