GCCA+ global evaluation report

The GCCA+ flagship initiative has undergone over the last months a thorough independent global evaluation. The final report is now available. It will be used to refine and strengthen the GCCA+ action over the coming years. A summary of the evaluation and a french version are also available.

Reading from the conclusions: "in all instances, GCCA has responded to an actual demand for support as expressed by beneficiary countries, both in terms of promoting dialogue and enabling negotiations, as well as supporting tangible action. (...) Overall performance of the components and interventions evaluated has been found to be good, on all evaluation criteria."

The main recommendations are 1) Continued and increased support for GCCA climate action (GCCA+), 2)stronger linkages between national and regional GCCA programmes; 3) develop joint strategies with other donors; 4) support long-term strategic planning and institutional capacity building for climate action; 5) better indicators and monitoring for budget support actions; 6) mobilise high level policy support for global climate change action; 7) stronger involvement of non-state actors and the private sector in GCCA-supported activities; 8) strenghten the monitoring framework for the programme; 9)  intensify the facilitation of climate change learning communities and learning events and 10) make the GCCA website a more pro-active and inter-active tool in the GCCA communication strategy.
