Peru: NDC in Adaptation of the Thematic Area of Fishing and Aquaculture

Objectives/Purpose of the Assignment

Main objective: Prepare the baseline and the progress report in the implementation of the 18 adaptation measures of the Fisheries and aquaculture thematic area. 

Specific objectives

• Carry out an update of the diagnosis of the indicators of the products and measures of the NCD in adaptation of the thematic area of ​​Fishing and aquaculture.
• Prepare a baseline report of the indicators of products and measures of the thematic area of ​​Fishing and aquaculture.
• Prepare a first M&E report of the selected measures of the fishing thematic area.
• Design the operational model and the pilot prototype for 4 measures selected from the 13 adaptation measures that currently do not have an operational model.

Scope of Work

1.1   Prepare a detailed work plan that includes a schedule of activities and milestones for the development of products / deliverables, as well as the requirements that it identifies as necessary. The schedule should include, as part of the methodology to be followed during the consultancy, working meetings prior to the presentation of the deliverables to share their content, for this purpose it will be coordinated with the DACCD-MINAM.

1.2   Carry out an update of the diagnosis of the technical sheets of indicators of the products and adaptation measures of the NDC of the thematic area of ​​Fishing and aquaculture

This update includes a quick diagnosis of all the indicators of the products and measures of the thematic area of ​​Fishing and aquaculture (18 measures); focusing on those indicators that were not part of the first selection of measures for the M&E pilot prototype.

The technical sheets of the indicators should be reviewed, with emphasis on:

• Identify and corroborate which direction, body and / or specific instance is responsible for the implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting of the measures.
• Identify and verify if the indicators are currently being monitored, evaluated and reported, and through what mechanism / platform / system it is reported, as well as the frequency and type of reporting.
• Identify and consolidate the existing databases of the indicators of the products and measures on the implementation of the measures.

Supplies:

• Technical sheets of the indicators (annex 2).
• Deliverables of the consultancy "Situational diagnosis of the M&E processes of the sectors involved in the implementation of the NDC in Adaptation to Climate Change."

1.3   Design the operational model and prototype for the M&E of the selected adaptation measures of the Fisheries and aquaculture thematic area, considering the development of the following sub-activities:

1.3.1 Design a proposal for an operational model of the chain of implementation of the selected adaptation measures, taking into account the different levels of responsibility at the national and sub-national level. With the adaptation measures previously selected by PRODUCE, the operational model will be designed that establishes a flow diagram that identifies the main processes and procedures, from the request for data, loading and data consistency to the reporting of the results of the indicators that will be linked to the system for monitoring adaptation measures. In this regard, the DACCD-MINAM will provide reference inputs for this activity.

For the selection of the second group of 4 MACCs and their indicators for the development of operational models and M&E prototype, the following selection criteria should be considered:

• The measure indicator could be similar to one of the indicators currently reported associated with any of the Budgetary Programs or other mechanism within the sector that has information on results.
• The measure indicator must have data sources (database, reports) of both physical and financial progress.
• The indicator has the identification of the current responsible actors (coordinator and / or specialists) of the instances involved in the implementation of the measure and the management and processing of the indicator data.
• The measure preferably has information on the enabling conditions to make the indicator operational.
• The measure has the availability of information such as studies carried out on risks (vulnerability, dangers and exposure), losses and damages due to the effects associated with climate change, or that allow the targeting of adaptation measures.

The information is required to be corroborated with respect to each criterion.

1.3.2 Develop the prototype for monitoring and evaluation of the selected adaptation measures of the forest thematic area and test its operation for the preparation of a report. In order to demonstrate the operation of the monitoring information flow regarding the progress and progress in the implementation of the adaptation measures of the Fisheries and aquaculture thematic area and to obtain a follow-up report, the development and running of the operational models and prototype, considering the different levels of responsibility (at the level of line bodies or competent entities) that will be assumed at each stage of the chain of implementation of adaptation measures and indicators. To finally carry out a function test and elaboration of a measurement report of the measurement indicators (5th deliverable). 

1.3.3 Prepare and consolidate a database. The analysis of the activities indicated in points 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 must be reflected in a consistent database, taking as a reference the criteria and coding used in the previous consulting service, whose final deliverable is part of annex 3, or the indications of the DACDD-MINAM.

1.4   Prepare a baseline report of the indicators of the adaptation measures of the Fisheries and aquaculture thematic area. The methodology for the collection, processing, calculation and reporting of the results of the indicators of products and measures, which are currently contained in the technical sheets of the indicators, must be verified or identified and complemented. For which it will be considered:

In collecting information:

1. The key concepts for the methodology
2. The method of determination and calculation
3. The instrument (s) for gathering the information
4. Description of the quality control measures in the collection of information
5. and interviews with key professionals who can provide information (if necessary).

In information processing:

1. Data analysis methods
2. The instrument (s) and the calculation formula
3. The limitations of the information gathering 

In addition to containing the elements of information gathering and information processing, the preparation of the baseline report should consider the following elements:

1. The values ​​and results of the baseline measurement and the analysis of the information collected and processed by each of the indicators (starting point).
2. The definition of the goals to be achieved for each of the indicators.
3. The explanation of the baseline and the construction process.
4. The description of actors involved in the implementation of adaptation measures.
5. The determination of the attribution of the actors on the measurement results of the measures.
6. Recommendations for the adjustment of indicators and targets.

Supplies: 

• Technical sheets of the indicators (annex 2).
• Deliverable 6 of the consultancy "Situational diagnosis of the M&E processes of the sectors involved in the implementation of the NDC in Adaptation to Climate Change" (Annex 3).
