The Philippines has demonstrated leadership in climate change adaptation through its strong commitment to a comprehensive climate change policy, and financing reform agenda. Among these commitments is the development of the Risk Resiliency and Sustainability Program (RRSP). The RRSP, with support from the World Bank Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), is being developed to serve as the framework program for national investment aimed at building climate resilience. This goal of this framework is to improve the response to climate risks through better adapted and more resilient ecosystems, infrastructure, and livelihoods in vulnerable areas across key Philippine landscapes.

​

ISET’s involvement in this project is to support the Government of the Philippines in the development of a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework to measure and report the results of the programs, activities and projects under the RRSP. ISET’s work aims to identify technical options for M&E at program and investment-level through a review of existing approaches at the local and national level, international experiences and best practices for the monitoring, evaluation and reporting of adaptation and resilience benefits.
