Climate Information Services for Resilient Development in Vanuatu (Van-KIRAP)

  • Status Ongoing
  • Eval. start 2018
  • Eval. completion 2024
Learning objective

This impact evaluation looks at the installation of climate infrastructure and the repackaging and dissemination of climate information to end-users, two interventions which make up sub-components of GCF project FP035. The project and LORTA team members chose these learning objectives during a series of workshops analysing the Theories of Change and assessment feasibility.

LORTA Synthesis Report 2022

19 Jun 2023

This document provides a report of the key activities of the LORTA Programme for 2022. It is Annex III of a report of the key activities of the Independent Evaluation Unit (IEU) for the period of 1 January to 30 April 2023. It reports on the IEU’s outputs and achievements in line with its Board-approved work plan for 2023.
LORTA Inception Workshop 2018

04 Dec 2018

This report introduces the Learning-Oriented Real-Time Impact Assessment (LORTA) programme, initiated by the Independent Evaluation Unit (IEU) of the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The LORTA programme aims to embed real-time impact evaluations into GCF projects to measure their effectiveness and enhance learning. It includes outcomes from the design workshop held in Bangkok, Thailand, project selection criteria, and an implementation timeline.

Details

Vanuatu is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate impacts, including climate-related natural disasters and the effects of slow-onset events such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification. While Vanuatu’s geographic location leaves it highly exposed to cyclones, more than 90 per cent of its infrastructure, measured in economic terms, is located 500m from the coastline. The Government of Vanuatu has identified the need to be able to undertake systematic efforts to inform and prepare its public to manage expected climate changes.

This project will help address this need by achieving a paradigm shift to standardize the use of science-based climate information. This is seen as a necessary base to underpin awareness-raising and long-term policy planning around climate change. This project will expand the use of Climate Information Services (CIS) in five targeted sectors: tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, water management and fisheries. Specific project goals include building technical capacity to harness and manage climate data, developing practical CIS tools, fostering their use, and disseminating tailored climate information.

LORTA’s impact assessment focuses on evaluating the installation of climate infrastructure, specifically the Doppler radar, and the repackaging and dissemination of climate information to end-users, which cover several sub-components of GCF project FP035.
