Table 1 Participant defined elements of the CRD M&E System

From: Education capacity building as a foundation for climate resilient development in SIDS

Sectors

Relevant indicators

Potential data

Key gaps and needs

• Hydrological system

•Agricultural system

•Energy production and distribution system

•Transportation system

•Wastewater system

• Legal framework- regulation, codes, and standards –e.g., land tenure – agricultural parcel size

•River flow rate – gauging – existing infrastructure of station – time frame

•Rainfall total- Met office –Agricultural office

•Equity

•Loss and damage from storms

•Number of farmers who practice sustainable agriculture – need to use surrogate data

•Graduates of green development educational programs

•Wastewater reuse from hotels – e.g., landscaping; commercial rates and contract with national water and sewage authority, Grenada (NAWASA)

• Ministries – e.g., Agriculture

•MET office

•Ministry of Health

•NAWASA

•St. Georges University

•CANE Company

•Caribbean Agricultural Research Development Institute

•Citizen Science program

•Agricultural census

•Central Statistical Office –population

•Ministry of Finance - Inland Revenue – licenses

•Fisheries department

•USGS at Coast Guard Station

•Annual coastal cleanup –waste inventories

• Need regulatory framework to enhance monitoring.

•Ministry of Environment could take on coastal and environmental conditions

•Enhanced capacity in Forestry and Fisheries

•Inexpensive sensing equipment that citizen scientists could use

•Need geographic association in Grenada

•Need geography curriculum and guide book

•Geography club could be a source of environmental conditions

•Need a national Atlas of Environmental Conditions; last one was in 1991

•Annual environmental report – an output of an M&E

  1. These elements emerged through co-production-based workshops with various education stakeholders in Grenada including government, non-for-profit, and education sectors. Participants discussed what kinds of data and support structure a CRD M&E system would need to efficiently operate in Grenada. The sectors defined by participants indicate critical stakeholders who can feed data into the system but who would also benefit from it. Relevant indicators are existing data needed for the system. Potential data represents other departments and agencies that might be collecting other forms of data that would be relevant to monitor CRD. Key gaps and needs identified by participants seek to bridge the gap between conceptualization and implementation of a CRD M&E system.
