| Description | Background: Although the role of monitoring and evaluation (ME) in enhancing evidence-based management in development work is increasingly recognised, ME remains under-utilised as a vital tool in informing climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions in many developing countries. Practitioners in climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions are yet to exploit ME to enhance effectiveness of their programmes.Objectives: This article underscores the critical role that ME can and should play in enhancing effectiveness of climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions in developing countries. It provides a scholarly look at ME and its visibility in climate change mitigation and adaptation work, the evidence of its role in mitigation and adaptation interventions across developing nations and the missing gaps in utilisation of ME for mitigation and adaptation. This article presents key insights that practitioners need to design effective ME systems for climate change mitigation and adaptation.Methods: The article was compiled based on Cooper’s stages of literature review 1984. A total of 15 peer-reviewed articles, a few eBooks and hard copy textbooks as well as reports from credible international organisations that met the inclusion criteria of focus, goal and coverage on ME and climate change mitigation and adaptation were reviewed.Results: The findings show that ME can be used as an effective tool for learning, informing evidence-based decision-making, promoting accountability and helping organisations to improve on climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions.Conclusion: ME if well designed and implemented can be handy and useful in informing climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions. | |
