This was in part due to the lack of monitoring of some variables crucial for constructing robust projections and the lack of a centralised system to co-ordinate and store meteorological data (INTOSAI, 2010 in OECD, 2015b). Countries may wish to start by conducting an inventory of adaptation-related monitoring processes already in place to get an overview of existing data availability, identify redundant collection processes then rationalise these activities to meet emerging needs (Bedi et al., To efficiently meet adaptation-related resource needs, questions specific to climate change can be inserted into established data collection processes, such as household surveys which are in many cases conducted every four to five years (OECD, 2015b).
