Ex post Evaluations
Ex post evaluations look beyond project completion to understand what lasts—and why.
Typically conducted three to five years after closure, they provide evidence-based insights into whether adaptation results endure, how they evolve over time, and what strengthens resilience in practice. They are designed to answer three key questions:
- Have the project outcomes been sustained since completion?
- Which factors have contributed towards – or detracted from – sustaining the project’s adaptation outcomes over time?
- How do the sustained outcomes contribute to local resilience?
By focusing on sustained outcomes and real-world conditions, these evaluations generate critical learning for improving future investments, informing strategic decision-making, and advancing global knowledge on climate change adaptation.
