Project metrics

Outcome 1:

Climate risk information is developed, monitored and integrated into policies, regulations and institutions to inform climate resilient small-scale rural infrastructure planning and management

 Indicators:

A 5.1 # of Institutional and regulatory systems that improve incentives for climate resilience and their effective implementation
A 7.2 # of males and females reached benefitting from climate-resilient infrastructure.
A1.1 % reduction in losses of lives and economic assets (US$) due to the impact of extreme climate-related disasters in the geographic area of the GCF intervention
A3. number of beneficiaries with access to climate resilient infrastructure units
A3.1 total number of infrastructure units made climate resilient
A4.1 Extent of ecosystems strengthened, restored and protected from climate variability and change
A7.1: Use by public-sector services staff of Fund supported tools, instruments, strategies and activities to respond to climate change and variability
1.1 # of hazard risk maps and information developed and adopted/ embedded into sectoral policies and legislations
2.1 # of infrastructure units built to new climate resilient standards
2.2 # Hectares of agroforestry implemented in target infrastructure catchments
Outcome 2:

Climate risk reduction and climate-proofing measures for small-scale rural infrastructure are implemented to build the resilience of vulnerable communities in six priority districts
