Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning
Features
Global Climate Change Monitoring & Evaluation Resources
USAID programs with climate change benefits are required to report against standard indicators, each with its own definition and some with supplementary guidance. Effective performance monitoring starts with a clear view of a project’s goals. Thus, climate change related results frameworks and other materials guide project design and performance monitoring.

USAID develops resources on monitoring and evaluation topics that are available to its partners in all sectors. This includes guidance, toolkits, templates, checklists, and other useful resources.
View ContentAgriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) Carbon Calculator
The AFOLU Carbon Calculator is a set of simple, user-friendly, web-based calculation tools. The Calculator employs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change based carbon accounting methods that allows users to estimate the absorption and storing of carbon dioxide benefits, and emissions reduction potential of eight different types of land-use and management project activities.
Access the ToolClean Energy Emission Reduction (CLEER) Tool
The CLEER Tool provides simple, standardized methodologies for calculating emission reductions from clean energy activities. The tool enables users to estimate, track, and report GHG reductions from clean energy, which may help users identify high impact activities with cost effective GHG reductions, assess emissions reduction potential of planned activities or alternatives, and measure benefits from indirect clean energy activities.
Access the ToolMonitoring Tools & Calculators
USAID supports the development of user-friendly tools and calculators to assist bureaus, missions and their partners to collect monitoring data that is robust and standardized. These include clean energy and sustainable landscapes greenhouse gas emission reduction calculators as well as an institutional capacity assessment tool.
