To guide project teams in achieving the highest quality in the analysis, design, implementation and information & knowledge management of CBA projects, we have developed the CBA Project Standards. These standards represent the key criteria that must be achieved to ensure the quality of process and outputs of different stages of the project cycle. Most importantly, the achievement of these standards will help to ensure that CBA projects make a sustainable contribution to the adaptive capacity of project stakeholders.

The project I’m with is planning to run a training of its stakeholders from 17-28 September 2012.

Subject: IDD Meeting Monday 1st October and Update
To: Vanuatu Humanitarian Team van.humanitarian.team@gmail.com
Dear All,
As it is getting closer to October 13th, International Disaster Day, could we get together for one final meeting at 2pm on Monday the 1st of October in the NDMO office.
Also here is an update on all the activities planned for the week.
The march that was scheduled on the 8th is now cancelled and we will be focusing on radio and TV broadcasts during the week. Those that are interested in doing a 15min radio broadcast on the theme of this years disaster day to be played during the week will need to confirm with us by Monday, these can either be done live or we can arrange for them to be pre-recorded but we will need final numbers by Monday.
Also there will be the Gender in Emergencies workshop for cluster members from October 9-12 (please ensure your agency has confirmed attendance with Jennifer)
This workshop has been organised by the VHT.
VHT has also organised a panel discusion on the role of women and girls in emergencies to be broadcast on national Tv on October 13th.
For the main event we will be hosting a half day event at the seafront where we will have speakers throughout the morning. We will also be organising booths for all NGO's and partners to utilise for the day. We are currently trying to source the audio equipment for the seafront as well.

Library of UN Materials Relevant for Climate Change Learning
Provides a one stop window to search for and access materials prepared by UN organizations relevant to climate change learning. To date, it contains over 1,000 entries, ranging from training manuals on climate change for health professionals to educational hand books for teachers and students. Some of the materials were developed in collaboration with non-UN organizations.

Pacific Climate Animation project
VMGD, CSIRO and Red Cross are hosting a workshop on Friday 26th October at the VMGD Conference Room to brainstorm ideas in development of an animation / cartoon describing ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) to communities.
All stakeholders welcome, enquiries to skaniaha@meteo.gov.vu or mcnaught@climatecentre.org.
..............................................................................................................................................
Activity Background
Opportunities exist for practitioners in the Pacific to have a greater understanding of climate change and climate variability to enable anticipation of disasters before they happen rather than waiting to respond afterwards. CSIRO in collaboration with the Vanuatu Meteorological Service, Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre & Australian Red Cross International Volunteer program are forming a partnership to produce 2 cartoon animations explaining climate in the Pacific region. One for across the Pacific region, the other for Vanuatu as a pilot country for possible later scale up to other countries in the Pacific. It would aim to explain both climate change and climate variability (such as El Niño & La Niña), their impacts and each would last for approximately 3-4 minutes. They will draw upon the recent science to come out of the Pacific Climate Change Science Program and it is anticipated that they would be useful for a range of practitioners from across health, disaster management, agriculture, water and other fields of work. The project will run until June 2013 and the animations will be produced in close collaboration with stakeholders in Vanuatu and the Pacific region.

Vanuatu Ministry of Education and USP will be co-hosting a climate change quiz competition for Port Vila highschools.

Course Title: Pacific Climate Futures Follow-up Training
Course Objectives:
1. To reinforce and extend the skills that participants gained during the Advanced training last year, with a particular focus on how to use the climate change projections for projects in Vanuatu.
2. To Seek feedback on the Pacific Climate Futures web-tool from Advanced users and provide details of the improvements planned under PACCSAP
3. Integrate the tool into the working procedures of the CC/DRR technical team
Event
M&E workshop we have scheduled for 21st September at the Red Cross meeting room (9am – 4pm). In our preliminary meetings we are interested in discussing the following:
1) Brief Principles of Adaptation M&E
2) Program logic – including activity statements, outputs, immediate and intermediate outcomes and desired impact identified
3) Creation of initial Indicators for outputs, outcomes and impact
4) Planning for how the community participates in identifying /revising these indicators
5) Tools you use currently for measuring /monitoring progress that you can share with the consortium
6) Adaptation Tools that your organization has used
7) Development of baselines – how do you plan to gather the baseline and how will you ensure that it is based on community identified indicators considering the timelines etc.
I have attached for your information two useful M&E documents (PMERL from CARE and Making Adaptation Count from GIZ and WRI) that could inform our M&E practice for this program. Take a look at the tools at the back and we will discuss these in our meeting. Also attached is a format for program logic that we will also discuss – an example and a format.
Cheers
Megan
