CHAPTER 9
Integration, Mainstreaming, Monitoring and
Evaluation
Chapter Objectives and Expectations
• Having read this presentation, in conjunction with the related
handbook, the reader should:
a) Recognize the relevance of options for integration both across,
and within the sectors in the framework of the vulnerability and
adaption (V&A) assessment,
b) Differentiate between cross-sectoral and multisectoral
integration and their importance in linking related sectors and
various multi-economic sectors.
c) Be able use methods of ranking sectoral priorites and for
assessing interdependencies of adaptation options.

Outline
• Integration of results
a) Cross-sector and multisector integration
b) Setting priorities (V&A action)
• Mainstreaming
a) National/subnational scale
b) Sectoral policies – development priorities
• Monitoring and evaluation
Why is Integration Important?
• Impacts do not happen in isolation:
a) Impacts in one sector can adversely or positively
affect another
b) Some sectors are affected directly and indirectly
c) Others just indirectly
d) Sometimes a change in one sector can offset the
effect of climate change in another sector
• In addition, integration is necessary for ranking V&A
options.
Main Types of Integration of Results
• Integrating impact assessment outcomes:
a) Cross-sector integration:
• Link related sectors
b) Multisector:
• Economy or system wide
• Integrated assessment models
• Economic models
• Integrating adaptation assessment outcomes.

National Circumstances – Need for Integration
Illustration from Switzerland: snow and glacier melt and flooding - events that
are often interdependent.
CROSS-SECTOR INTEGRATION
Cross-Sector Integration
• In the initial national communications there were challenges in
drawing cross-sectoral linkages between sectors more so when
there is too much focus on sector by sector analysis.
• Linkages of climate change vulnerabilities across sectors are now
better understood:
a) For example the linkages between agricultural impacts, water
and health in rural communities –
• sectoral assessments are increasingly seeking to address
such cross-sectoral issues.
• The second national communication of Malaysia states that:
• “Using a sector dependence approach wherein mutual
reliance amongst sectors is considered, all sectors are found
to be directly dependent on water resources, energy and the
public health sectors.”
Cross-Sector Integration
• Qualitative:
a) Identify links between sectors and highlight the
direction of impacts
• Rely on the application of expert judgement:
a) Can be undertaken by the national
communications project team, or through an
extended process using a broader group of
stakeholders.
• The use of a wide range of stake holders from more
than one or two sectors leads to multi-sectoral
integration.

MULTI-SECTORIAL
INTEGRATION
Multi-sector Integration
•
Should be as comprehensive as possible, covering as
many affected sectors, regions and populations as
possible.
•
A clear understanding of how society as a whole might
be affected by climate change:
a) Breadth of impacts
b) Severity of impacts.
•
Two common approaches:
a) Economic impacts as common currency (based for
example on general equilibrium economic models)
b) Qualitative prioritization.
Multi Sector-Integration Simple approach-Matrix/ranking
“It is expected that climate change impacts and vulnerabilities will not occur in isolation. Non- climate factors, linkages
between sectors, as for instance the link between glaciers and GLOFs and water resources and energy production and the
subsequent impacts on agriculture and human health and settlements should also be taken into consideration” Bhutan SNC
Multi Sector-Integration Using outputs of models
Multi-sector Integration-Complex
• Involves the use of Regional/National Economic Models
• A quantitative way to examine climate change market
impacts throughout an economy:
a) Problem with non-market impacts
• These are often macro-economic models or general
equilibrium models
• Extensive data is required
• Expensive modelling
• Complex in nature
• The Communication of assumptions can be a
challenge.
Sector-by-sector Approach
• The information generated is for each specific sector:
a) Limited by the lack of information within sectors
b) There is a problem of how to integrate across
multiple end points:
• Impacts may be measured with different metrics
• There is a need to account for many sectors
• One drawback of this approach is that it does not
capture sectoral interactions.

Land-use planning can Visualize Areas at Risk:
Flooding risk map (red=avoid settlements) indicates where in settlements evacuation or special
protection measures are required (example Visp Valais Switzerland)
(Source: Kanton Wallis, 2011)
Adaptation Options in River Flooding Prevention (Example: Rhone Switzerland)
The river flood protection measure selected, is a function of the
objective of protection: Hard structures are used where the protection
of established settlements is the objective of protection: soft measures
are used where possible.
Qualitatively Identifying Linkages: At a minimum
• Qualitatively identify linkages and possible direction of
impacts:
a) If crops can be examined and not the water supply,
then identify how change in water supply could
affect agricultural production
b) Examine as appropriate, livelihoods not single
crops. It is easier to move crops to other climate
zones than to move people
INTEGRATING ADAPTATION
ASSESSMENT
Integrating Adaptation
• Setting priorities across vulnerabilities is important, as it
is used to identify adaptation priorities
• A variety of tools are available:
a) Screening tools
b) Multi-criteria assessment
c) Cost-benefit analysis.
• Consider adaptation capacity planning as part of
integration.
Process is as Important as Outcome
• This is an expression of values, and is not a purely
analytic exercise
• Include stakeholders and policy makers
• Whether you use the qualitative or quantitative
approach, the most important thing is JUST DO IT!
• The following are tools that can be useful in setting
priorities

Cost-Benefit Analysis
• Estimate all benefits and costs in a common metric
to determine whether benefits > costs
• Monetary values often used
• Difficulty: what to do about non-market benefits or
uncertainties
• Difficulty: requires much data and analysis.

What to Use
(Source: UNDP/GEF Adaptation Policy Framework, 2004)
Exercise:
Prioritize key insights from the sectoral training chapters
• What is/are your key point (s) from the sectoral
sessions water resources, health, agriculture, coastal
resources?
• Which conclusions do you draw for priorities on
adaptation capacity development and adaptation
action in your country?
Conclusions
• Integration is important to at least identify related
impacts:
a) Analysis of cross-sectoral effects is desirable
because there can be surprises
• Integration can also be useful for examining total
vulnerability and moving from ranking vulnerabilities to
ranking of priorities in adaptation action.
MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE
CHANGE
Mainstreaming
“Process of integrating climate concerns and
adaptation responses into relevant policies,
plans, programs, and projects at the national,
sub-national, and local scales”
[USAID, 2009]
Approach
• Find entry points:
a) Identify links between climate change and national
development priorities
• Mainstream into policy processes:
a) National development plans
• Implementation challenge:
a) Ensuring that it is mainstreamed into budgets and
financing
b) Implementation and monitoring.
Mainstreaming
• A process – not an output
• Enabling elements:
a) Staff and financial resources
b) Leadership
c) Skills and knowledge
d) Time.
Mainstreaming Examples: Kiribati
• Kiribati is currently mainstreaming climate
change into the national development plan and
ministerial operational plans but:
a) Enabling elements limited
b) Long-term commitment will deliver
progress.
Conclusion
• Mainstreaming provides a mechanism to ensure
climate change is considered as part of
development
• Cross-scale integration is required, to project to
national scale
• Mainstreaming should be seen as a process –
not a product.
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
• This is a performance assessment tool to:
a) Improve future programmes and projects through
feedback of lessons learned;
b) Provide a basis for accountability, including the
provision of information to the public;
c) Inform policy and practice
d) To test assumptions and create opportunities for
learning.
Evaluation framework
• Incorporates:
a) Activities
b) Inputs
c) Outputs
d) Outcomes
• Baselines and indicators to monitor progress.
Evaluation Plan
• Roles and responsibilities:
a) Who will monitor
b) Who will evaluate?
• What data will be collected:
a) Align to indicators
• Timeline for evaluation:
a) Reporting needs
b) Decision-making entry points.
Conducting Evaluation
• Internal:
a) Up-skilling
b) Direct knowledge transfusion
• External:
a) Independent
b) Transparent
c) Accountable.
