A monitoring and evaluation mechanism for the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem (CLME+) Strategic Action Programme (SAP)

Abstract

The M&E for the CLME+ SAP will consist of what can be described as three families of overlapping and interrelated sets of indicators: SAP action indicators address the progress in implementation of the CLME+ SAP Strategies and Actions; GEAF indicators that provide a broad strategic, long-term perspective on effectiveness of the interventions undertaken to implement the SAP, based on the GEAF categories and that target CLME+ countries and implementing partners, including the IGOs that comprise the CLME+ SAP ICM and the future Permanent Coordination Mechanism (PCM); State of the Marine Environment and associated Economies (SOMEE) indicators that summarize progress towards the CLME+ SAP vision derived from the GEAF indicators and provide regional level contextual trends targeting CLME+ countries, partners, the ICM/PCM membership and constituents, the development aid community, the public and interested parties globally.
