Approach Paper: Evaluation of the IDB Group's Work on Climate Change Adaptation

This document defines the approach the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) will adopt in its evaluation of the work by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) on climate change adaptation. This includes the objectives, scope, and methodology of the evaluation. At the request of the IDB and IDB Invest Boards of Executive Directors, this evaluation was included in OVE's 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 work programs (documents RE-551-1 and RE-563-3, respectively). The evaluation will seek to provide independent information to the IDB and IDB Invest Boards concerning the role of the IDB Group in supporting the Latin American and Caribbean region in achieving sustainable and inclusive growth in the face of climate shocks.
