Summary
The Australia Pacific Climate Partnership (the Partnership) is a four year (2018-19/2021-22) regional program. It seeks to strengthen the climate and disaster resilience of Pacific peoples, and has the following intended end of program outcomes:
- Australian aid investments in the Pacific are climate and disaster risk informed.
- Australian supported climate change information is relevant and influential; and
- Australia is valued as a partner in climate change action in the Pacific.
The Partnership consists of various subprograms, including: The Support Unit (SU, $22.6m 2018-19 to 2021-22), the Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific, Phase 2 (COSPPac2, $23.3m, 2017-18 to 2021-22), and Governance for Resilient Development in the Pacific (Gov4Res $10.4m 2018-2019 to 2021-22).
The purpose of the mid-term review is twofold:
- to generate an independent perspective on how the Partnership is tracking against the intended end of program outcomes, and
- assessing the Partnership model, specifically the extent to which the Partnership has helped the subprograms to be greater than the sum of their parts.
The mid-term review is not intended as an appraisal of each sub-program or implementing partner’s performance. The assessment of the sub-programs recognises that they are at different stages of implementation and have different histories.
