Systems to date have focused on a diverse range of specific purposes, types of indicators or self-assessment, and taken different approaches to aggregate information from sub-national scales. Several bilateral and multilateral channels of support aim at addressing information gaps, capacity and resource constraints, which can be one of the limiting factors to building national systems for adaptation monitoring and evaluation. The processes and results of national adaptation monitoring and evaluation systems have the potential to provide relevant information to assess progress towards the global goal on adaptation under the UNFCCC, but the extent to which this can be done is still uncertain. Si jusqu’ici relativement peu de pays ont elabore et mis en ceuvre un systeme national de suivi et devaluation de l’adaptation, beaucoup ont indique dans leur contribution determinee au niveau national (CDN) qu’ils s’y attelaient ou prevoyaient de le faire.
