Annexure 6: Indicator description for PPD activities


INDICATOR CODE: CCA-VT-7


SIMPLIFIED NAME OF INDICATOR: Climate Change Adaptation Policy for the RNR Sector
TYPE OF INDICATOR: Output
INDICATOR DESCRIPTION:
Climate change adaptation policy for the RNR sector is prepared through joint actions by CORRB and PPD at MOAF
RATIONALE FOR INDICATOR:
Mainstreaming of Climate Change into development plans is one of the key policy directives for the 11th Five Year Plan. While Bhutan has developed the National Adaptation Plan of Action (2006) and the Low Carbon Development Strategy (2011), a national level Policy on Climate Change is yet to be formulated. In this context, the RNR sector will formulate a RNR Climate Change Policy to provide strategic directions for prioritization, planning and implementation of climate change adaptation actions. While the policy will define the key areas for climate change adaptation and key adaptation actions, it will also provide strategic directions for building the resilience of the farmers.
Climate change in Bhutan mainly threatens the largely agrarian population that depends on subsistence agriculture for their daily livelihood; the farming community is the most vulnerable group as farm productions are highly dependent on climate, especially with the unpredictable and increased variability in the timing of the monsoons. Already frequent landslides and prolonged dry periods and unprecedented heavy monsoon rain, affecting agriculture and biodiversity, are visible. The main cash crops of the farmers such as rice, potatoes, chillies, apples and oranges are all highly sensitive to water and temperature variations. Dry land crops such as wheat, buckwheat, maize, and barley are the major food source for the farmers and they are entirely dependent on rainfall thus making it even more vulnerable to climate risks. Further increased heat stress on organisms and altered water requirements for various species also are associated with climate change. This would severely affect the RNR Sector. Therefore, the interventions towards making RNR sector resilient to climate change and its related disasters would be through legalizing and institutionalizing climate change and disaster management. Towards this, the RNR Sector Climate Change Adaptation policy needs to be formulated in order to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

METHODOLOGY FOR INDICATOR MANAGEMENT:


Stage in Data Management

Description

Data type selection (what is data to be collected and its level of aggregation)


Data related to climate change and its impacts on vulnerable communities are to be collected from the local and national levels; including activities aimed at strengthening vulnerable physical, natural and social assets carried out by various agencies (RNR-CCAP, SNV, NECS, and others). Information related to the mainstreaming of Climate Change in the RNR Sector carried out by the RNR-CCAP is to be reviewed. Any risk and vulnerability assessments that have been carried out by various stakeholders are to be reviewed, including any efforts at increasing the adaptive capacity of local communities in response to impacts of climate change. Any efforts to promote transfer and adoption of new adaptation technologies are to be reviewed.

Data sources (what is the collection instrument)

Processes involve consultations at all levels of Government and participation of local communities in many cases. This may involve workshop outputs, questionnaires, key stakeholder dialogues.

Data collection (who is responsible for collecting)

Task Forces set up by the MOAF led by PPD would be responsible for collection of information and data, and for reviewing the same. In some cases local consultants may be hired to assist with the development of the enabling instruments, especially where knowledge is weak on some subject areas.

Data processing (who carries out data entry and data processing and how)

Approval of the policy requires the following steps: (1) A first draft is produced with inputs from TA and Task Force Members; (2) The draft is presented to senior management within MOAF for comments; (3) The second draft is produced for consultations with stakeholders at the regional level; (4) The third draft will then be consulted at the National level; (5) The fourth draft will then be presented to the RNR level GNH Committee; (6) The Final draft will be submitted to the national GNHC for review and then will be presented to the GNHC members; (7) The final version will then be submitted to the Cabinet for comments; (8) The draft will then be refined with incorporation of comments from the Cabinet ministers and it is then considered to be approved version for publication.

Data presentation (how)

The policy document would normally be presented in the form of a published document with an ISBN number and as electronic files in PDF format. It would be posted on the MOAF website.

Data reporting (by whom to whom)

The policy document is to be reported by PPD to the RNR GNHC, the National GNHC and the Cabinet.

Highlights from the policy are to be reported in the MOAF Annual Progress Report for the relevant financial year (FY).

Inputs required for data management (when and by whom)

2-3 months are needed by the concerned Planning Officer at PPD to follow the processes for data management outlined above. A large number of stakeholders would also be involved on an ad hoc basis to attend workshops and compile information.

Cost of verification

No cost. The Chief for Policy and Planning Division and his staff at MOAF will verify the document content for accuracy and relevance against the TOR.

Data quality and projection risk assessment (who and how)

The quality of this policy indicator will depend heavily on the method of preparation, where consultants and donors are involved in workshops used to prepare the policy then it can expect to have a high degree of quality and a low risk of poor or missing content. A policy prepared internally within MOAF with no external peer-reviews may lack the necessary quality. Reviews by an external expert may be useful in assisting in maintaining high quality outputs.

ANY SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


Attach draft copies of the Policy to the relevant file at PPD. E-copies can be kept in an electronic file at PPD, and on the MOAF web site.

Annexure 7: Indicator description for ICS activities



INDICATOR CODE: IEC

SIMPLIFIED NAME OF INDICATOR: IEC materials developed and disseminated

TYPE OF INDICATOR: Output

INDICATOR DESCRIPTION: This indicator will assess the type and numbers of Information materials developed and disseminated to educate and communicate on the impacts of Climate Change on the RNR Sector and the types of adaptation and mitigation activities implemented by the ministry to overcome such impacts through print materials and audio-visual recordings. Towards achieving the targets of this indicator, the following activities would be implemented:

  1. Develop and air TV programs

  2. Develop and air radio programs

  3. Develop and publish print materials


RATIONALE FOR INDICATOR:

The RNR Sector is one of the most vulnerable sectors to the impacts of climate change; climate change threatens the livelihood of the rural communities who are directly depended on RNR and its allied sectors. Therefore, IEC materials developed and disseminated will enhance the awareness on the impacts of climate change and will also provide information on the means and opportunities to adapt to such impacts. Further, this information will be critical inputs to the policy/decision makers to plan and formulate programs to make RNR Sector resilient to such impacts.

ANALYSIS OF INDICATOR BEHAVIOUR:
Since the 9th FYP a series of activities related to climate change adaptation and mitigation were implemented. However, given the limited scientific knowhow on climate change and its impacts on RNR Sector not much have been done in terms of creating awareness and visibility on CC. Realizing that CC could hugely impact the RNR Sector in the 11th plan and beyond it is imperative that both the farmers and the policy makers are made aware on climate change and its impacts, So that appropriate interventions are put in place to overcome such challenges
OTHER RELATED INDICATORS:

  1. Enhance dissemination of RNR ICT Services

  2. Develop CCIS
