Evaluation of the Funding Area ‘Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation’
On behalf of MISEREOR, FAKT evaluated the organisation’s funding portfolio on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Focusing on projects approved between 2019 and 2022, the evaluation explored how MISEREOR’s climate-related work is driving change in diverse contexts. It examined past experience, unpacked the underlying theories of change, and assessed the results achieved on the ground. Guided by the OECD-DAC criteria, the study delivered actionable insights and forward-looking recommendations to help shape MISEREOR’s future funding practice.
