It will be necessary to determine the effectiveness of each country’s responses through indicators of greenhouse gas reductions, delivering minimum carbon economies, resilience-building and adaptive capacity. In response, the Centre has designed and established a monitoring framework to assess the region’s performance on resilience-building. That monitoring framework is designed to:

  1. operate within existing national and international systems,
  2. be flexible and pragmatic while taking into account a country’s circumstances, and
  3. establish baselines, targets, and core indicators to assist aggregate country-level results.

The Centre has, therefore, embarked on a series of exercises aimed at developing national monitoring and evaluation instruments (MEIs) and conducting training in their use.
