Strengthening climate adaptation tracking and reporting in Ethiopia’s agriculture sector

This deck presents six modules that build a systematic understanding of the global and national adaptation reporting landscape. The modules move from global frameworks to national practice. They introduce the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), the Belém Adaptation Indicators, and the principles of inclusive adaptation tracking, including gender equality and social inclusion (GESI). They then turn to Ethiopia: agriculture adaptation priorities, targets and reporting responsibilities under the country’s third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), and how project-level evidence from e.g., the SCALA programme can feed national reporting. The modules were used in a workshop held in Adama to help Ethiopia finalize its first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) and prepare for future reporting cycles. The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT convened it with AGNES and Ethiopia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Planning and Development. The workshop produced three outputs: a review of the NDC 3.0 agriculture indicators, a mapping of national indicators against the Belém indicators, and a prioritized roadmap for adding outcome and resilience indicators, covering livestock and pastoral systems, and collecting gender-disaggregated data.
