Lessons for Future Action: Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction - Project Implementation: Strategies for on the ground action

Abstract:

One of five summary briefs for decision-makers, produced from the outcomes of the Lessons for Future Action conference: access to key insights, lessons learned, good practice and the gaps and needs for future action.

Project implementation consists of elements related to project design, management, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and reporting. It encompasses issues as diverse as stakeholder participation and sustainable financing. When considering on the ground action for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, effective project implementation bridges the gap between the policy and planning framework and increased resilience. Effective delivery on the ground is the ultimate test for investments in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction and stands at the gateway of sustainable development in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
