4 1.2. Project Components 1. Providing small grants to vulnerable communities for projects that deliver tangible and sustainable benefits. (At least 12 small grants, approximately R each) 2. Empowering local institutions to identify and implement adaptation response measures. (Capacity development support from local Facilitating Agencies) 3. Compiling and sharing lessons to facilitate future up-scaling and replication of enhanced direct access modalities. (Training needs assessments, local network, case studies and policy recommendations)

Investment Windows Adapta on ac ons through 3 Investment Windows Climate-smart Agriculture Climate-resilient Livelihoods Climate-proof Se lements 12 small grants in 2 target areas valued at US$ 1.5 million Introduction/increased use of heat-tolerant livestock. Construction of shade structures for livestock. Use of drought-resilient crops. Use of micro/drip-irrigation systems. Support to currently practiced, alternative livelihoods such as temperature controlled abalone farming Development of trader stalls to protect people and products from the heat. Diversification/alternative livelihoods develop other types of income (tourism activities, food gardens, etc.). Rainwater harvesting at the household level. Grey water recycling systems.

18 4.3. Reason for M&E in the SGF Project Different mandates but one a joint M&E framework common goal, purpose, etc. = joint learning. Facilitates decision-making for implementation activities. Alignment with others M&E frameworks coordination and learning (NIE and/or DEA?). A requirement by the Adaptation Fund.
19 4.4. M&E Process Linked to SGF work plan and reporting M&E Framework (draft) EE s Standard Operating Procedures o o o Key monitoring processes: o Reporting cycle (quarterly financial & PPR SGRs, FAs, EE) o Site visits (quarterly - FAs, annually EE) o External/independent evaluation (mid-term and terminal review; ESP expert annually) Evaluations are usually external, at a fixed point in time, data validation, and measure overall project effectiveness. Planning and counting to reach our targets in the logframe/results-based framework.
20 5.1. Environmental and Social Policy What is ESP? Adaptation Fund (AF) Policy. It articulates AF s commitment to support projects that do not harm the environment, public health or vulnerable communities. There are 15 principles. Requires an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP). Relation to the SGF? Project Proposal to AF Category B risk factor i.e. projects with possible but limited anticipated adverse environmental or social impacts. Limited: fewer in number, smaller in scale, less widespread, reversible or easily mitigated Any small grant projects that do not meet the requirement for a project with no significant risks in terms of the AF ESP, or a project with minor risks that can be mitigated, will be excluded. Applicability to the SGF? During the process of accrediting Implementing Entities (IEs); and During the process of project review. ESP shall be applied throughout all the project implementation phases, including design, execution, monitoring, and evaluation. Feedback to AF: Annual, mid-term and terminal performance reports.
