As the scale and volume of climate change finance grows worldwide, so do the number of climate mitigation and adaptation activities and the need for data to inform decision making and demonstrate progress toward national, regional, and international goals, such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. Countries require strong monitoring and evaluation systems to collect and report accurate, timely, and harmonized data that can be used to strengthen projects and programs, promote accountability, and gain financial support.
The Forest Investment Program (FIP), a targeted program of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF), is a pioneer in climate finance monitoring and results reporting. Established in 2009, FIP is a concessional financing mechanism designed to support developing countries around the world in their efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) both inside and outside of the forest sector to achieve the triple win of being good for forests, good for development, and good for the climate. It has developed a monitoring and reporting (M&R) system that helps countries track their progress in reducing pressure on forests to achieve low carbon growth.
