JAMES is a web system for monitoring and evaluating climate change adaptation at the multiple levels.
The system, produced by the Ministry of the Environment Japan (MOEJ), aims to support the efforts of developing countries to make progress with their adaptation process.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a core part of the adaptation process.
Record the progress made in planning and implementing adaptation measures
Determine the effectiveness of adaptation measures
M&E allows adaptation planners and practitioners to identify challenges and improvements in the adaptation process and feed them back into subsequent efforts.
001
JAMES is designed for government officers in developing countries seeking to identify challenges and improvements in their efforts.
M&E indicators in this system can also be used as a "reference guide" for government officers who have just undertaken the adaptation process.
002
Adaptation to climate change takes different shapes and forms, depending on the unique context of a country, region, or organization. Therefore, M&E indicators need to be tailored to the user’s characteristics and situation.
JAMES provides each user with the most suitable set of M&E indicators according to the property information entered by the user.
003
Many government officers in developing countries are stumbling upon conducting M&E due to their limited knowledge and experience.
JAMES provides users with the opportunity and support to start M&E. It leads the users to fully operationalize the adaptation process.
