In support of the Climate Change and Low
Carbon Green Growth Program of Romania (LCGGP), the World
Bank has prepared the current report with the aim of helping
the Romanian Government to operationalize the strategic path
chosen by the country for implementing its National Climate
Change and Low Carbon Green Growth Strategy 2016-20302
(NSCC) and the associated 2016-2020 Action Plan for Climate
Change (APCC). This includes some relevant institutional
arrangements and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
activities for existing Climate Change (CC) related policies
and measures, notably those derived from the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the
Kyoto Protocol, plus the requirements for European Union
(EU) Member States regarding the monitoring and evaluation
of the EU-level climate and energy package and the Europe
2020 goals for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. It
was recommended that the Romanian government should build
upon current obligations for M&E of public policies,
whilst recognizing that the M&E system initially
established for the NSCC and APCC for Romania must not be
considered as static, but rather as an on-going continuum
that will evolve, expand and improve over time. The report
highlights some key weaknesses in institutional capacity for
CC-related M&E and identifies several sector-specific
examples of areas for improvement. The report usefully
reviews international good practices for the M&E of CC
strategies and action plans under the headings of General
good practice; Green Growth good practices; Special
considerations for CC adaptation (including the selection of
indicators), and; European examples (including short case
studies on relevant M&E practices from Germany and
France). In order to facilitate the necessary learning
processes for policy-makers and other key stakeholders it is
recommended that the Romanian government adopts a
“theory-based” approach (in conjunction with the OECD DAC
criteria) as the evaluation framework for the NSCC and APCC.
The theory-based approach follows an iterative process of
design, evaluation, and redesign based on lessons learned
about whether specific interventions are successful or not,
why they succeeded or failed and how they can be improved.
The report concludes with numerous additional practical
recommendations for development of a simple, affordable and
cost effective M&E system for the NSCC and APCC. These
recommendations are grouped into four categories: (i)
general recommendations; (ii) recommendations for improving
institutional arrangements; (iii) recommendations for
developing a solid evaluation framework; and (iv)
recommendations for reporting. Finally, to ensure a robust
framework, the M&E and Reporting system should clearly
define goals, indicators, responsibilities and communication
strategies. It should facilitate continuous learning by
policy-makers and other key stakeholders in order to
underpin the long-term development of the knowledge and
understanding needed to better design, implement and deliver
future CC strategies and action plans for Romania. |
