Measuring the effectiveness of finance delivery for drought management at community level - 23 March - 9:00-10:30 (GMT)
With a steady increase in climate finance flow from developed to developing countries, there is a growing need to rigorously measure the additionality, consistency and ultimately the impacts on final beneficiaries in real terms. Increasing the effectiveness of finance in reducing drought risks and impacts is of vital interest for both financing partners and communities. Their inherent heterogeneity and diverse needs constrain the case to harmonize the financing mechanisms and rather call for more flexible and innovative approaches. Many climate financing mechanisms have already introduced methods to assess their impacts. The approaches, records and retrieved data on the results, however, are often insufficient. A better understanding of the current situation is highly desirable, to share lessons and increase effectiveness.
Organized by FAO together with the UNCCD, this special session will contribute to the global debate on measuring the effectiveness of financing to reduce and transform drought risks from the perspective of end-users through a coherent set of discussions and presentations.
