Keys for Effective Coordination
• Common CC Adaptation Results Framework
Enables MoEnv to measure whether and to what extent:
people in Nepal are more resilient to climate
Nepal’s development programs, policies, and projects are
safeguarded from the effects of climate change
Agencies/development partners involved in leading an SPCR
component or other adaptation project/program will help prepare
• Management Information System
PMUs to implement status
MoEnv’s tool to monitor across the entire program
Keys for Effective Coordination (continued)
• Joint Program Reviews
MoEnv to participate in each of the bi-annual review missions of the
SPCR components assess progress and document lessons
MoEnv to lead review of CC program every 2 years measure
performance against the common CC results framework
• Face-to-Face Dialogue
Quarterly meetings of project directors to discuss key issues
affecting their project progress & share implementation experience
• Public Information and Communication
systematic and proactive approach for communications
Information disclosure, websites, media and stakeholder sharing
events
