The National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) outlines the roadmap for adaptation and mitigation from 2011 to 2028 and focuses on seven strategic priorities (food security, water sufficiency, ecological and environmental stability, human security, climate-friendly industries and services, sustainable energy and knowledge and capacity development). The NCCAP stipulates the importance of, and the need for, an M&E system and already identifies draft impact chains and indicators for each strategic priority.

The Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation System (RBMES) aims to monitor progress toward the implementation of the NCCAP across its seven priority areas (with a focus on both climate adaptation and mitigation). Annual monitoring is expected to support priorities and budget setting every year. In addition, the system aims at evaluating the efficiency, effectiveness and impacts of the action plan every three years.

The institutional arrangement for the RBMES is being defined and targeted for implementation in 2014.
