The Fund for Climate and Environment

FINAL REPORT

MINOR Intervention and longer-term intervention

The total report may not exceed 8 pages (excluding Annex 1.)

Aim

The final report is the Danish organisation’s report to the Fund for Climate and Environment. Your reflections are important in terms of documentation and learning. It is therefore not the aim that the partner organisation(s) complete(s) the report on its/their own.

The final report can be used as a tool in your partnership to strengthen transparency and joint responsibility as described in “Position Paper No. 4. Partnership and Strengthening of Civil Society”.

The final report is also an element in the Danish organisation’s ”track record” and can be taken into account in future assessments of applications from the Danish organisation with the same or other partners.

External evaluation

For interventions above 2 mio. DKK the external evaluation report must be enclosed if not already shared with CISU.

ANNEX 1: OUTCOMES AND OUTPUTS – quantitative status on implementation

For grants for 2014 and onwards: To measure the success of the Climate and Environment Fund as a support facility aimed at promoting civil society interventions in the field of climate and environment with a focus on advocacy, the below mentioned cross cutting output and outcome indicators are introduced.

The indicators are considered to be relevant for most interventions granted by the Fund.

For grants given in 2013: These statistics are not a requirement. If you are able to complete all or parts of this annex, it would be appreciated.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at .

Outcome indicators

Organisation:
Journal nr: / Expected Target / Actual result
1. / The number of poor or marginalised people facing climate or environmental challenges whose lives will be positively affected by capacity building and advocacy on sustainable development.
2. / The number of people who have been involved in networks/organisations.
3. / The number of initiatives/attempts to influence made by civil society in developing countries to sub-national and/or national authorities plus regional and international gatherings in order to influence a progressive agenda vis-a-vis international processes on climate and environment.

Explanatory notes:

Outcome 1: The number of poor or marginalised people facing climate or environmental challenges whose lives will be positively affected by capacity building and advocacy on sustainable development.

Explanation: This indicator will provide a figure on the broad number of people that the intervention will reach/affect. The number provided will be an estimate.

Expected target: The target number will be derived from the application. If not given here, please provide an estimate or write N/A.

Actual result: At the end of the intervention, an estimate will be given of how many people were actually reached.

Outcome 2: The number of people who have been involved in networks/organisations.

Explanation: This indicator is looking for the total number of people who have been involved implementing or carrying out the intervention in the participating organisations and networks.

Expected target: The target number will be derived from the application. If not given here, please provide an estimate. Actual result: Provide an estimate of how many people have actually been involved in organisations and networks at the end of the intervention.

Outcome 3: The number of initiatives/attempts to influence made by civil society in developing countries to sub-national and/or national authorities plus regional and international gatherings in order to influence a progressive agenda vis-a-vis international processes on climate and environment.

Explanation: Each intervention will define what should be considered an initiative or attempt. This will be defined within the context of the intervention. An initiative or attempt could be, but not limited to, include the following: Attendance at relevant conferences, meetings, fora or gatherings; meetings with relevant authorities/people; relevant workshops held or attended, campaigns, policy briefs or media exposure.

Expected target: The target numbers will be derived from the application. If not given here, please provide an estimate or write N/A.

How to fill out the output indicator matrix:

1.  Fill out the columns with the years where the intervention has been running. The numbers can be derived from the status reports given to CISU.

2.  2015 and 2016 are aggregate numbers. This means that the number given in column 2015 is a total of the number of 2014 and 2015 (for example, 2015 = 2014 + 2015). Likewise the number given in column 2016 is a total of the number of 2015 and 2016.

3.  If the output indicator described is not relevant for the intervention, write N/A.

Explanatory notes:

Output 1

The number of organisations and/or networks/alliances participating in the intervention.

Yearly result: You can state whether there has been an increase in the number of participating organisations, networks or alliances during the implementation of the intervention. This can be relevant if there is a particular objective in specific interventions for such an increase.

Expected target: If an increase in involvement of organisations is part of the intervention, the target is mentioned here.

Output 2

The increase in membership of the organisations and/or networks/alliances participating in the intervention.
