There are good examples of where donors and supporters are helping to build statistical capacity in recipient countries. For example, the Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is working with the World Resource Institute (WRI) to provide technical assistance to establish impact monitoring and evaluation systems for adaptation programmes20 (GIZ, 2013). In Mexico, AFD is, beside its financial contributions to the national climate strategy (PECC - Programa Especial de Cambio Climatico), providing technical support to the implementation of the result-based national monitoring system of this cross-cutting policy (AFD 2012).
