1. MONITORING CAPACITY BUILDING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
Presented by
Patrick Chimutu
CHRISTIAN SERVICE COMMITTEE

2. Introduction
The experiences I share at this workshop relate to my development practice in Malawi and other countries
There are many players with interest in issues of climate change in Malawi
In this paper I share some experiences in monitoring in general with examples from Christian service committee

3. Lessons on M & E
Generally M & E operates well if integrated within operational units rather than keep them as separate units
Usually people measure what is easier than what is important
An M & E Framework enhances sysyematic monitoring and evaluation when well executed

4. Recommendations
There is need to develop a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, along side the Capacity Building Framework, which should be used by all stakeholders to capture information relating to capacity building programmes in climate change.

5. Case study for Food Security Policy Implementation
National level inventory for indicators (all stakeholders included
Agreed on important indicators for monitoring
Agreed on scope of monitoring (what data to collect, who to collect, frequency of collection

6. Challenge
Capacity levels by stakeholders (financial and technical capacity) differed significantly
