Kinda late, but maybe worth sharing. Roughly my first day joining #CBA9, with @SaleemulHuq http://tinyurl.com/knr5o83 pic.twitter.com/8LIgDdVPeM- First up on day four was a lively debate between two key figures at the conference, with very different views on who should lead monitoring and evaluation
- The 4th day of #CBA9 is starting with a debate between @Irish_Aid's Adrian Fitzgerald & Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies' Atiq Rahman
- Whose measurement counts? Give us your views on who monitoring & evaluation activities should ultimately be served #CBA9 #climatechange
- Because communities are affected by #climatechange the most they are in a position to know best which measurements matter, says Rahman #CBA9
Atiq Rahman speaking at the plenary of #CBA9 @SVAdapt @Vositha @SaleemulHuq pic.twitter.com/qa6OhH7ZfB- Communities in isolation can't address #climatechange alone, responds @Irish_Aid's Adrian Fitzgerald #CBA9
- Fitzgerald: "Everyone must be involved, but only government can provide scale and coordination to reach everyone" @Irish_Aid #CBA9
- Documenting and communicating results achieved to citizens will ensure the future of climate finance, says Fitzgerald @Irish_Aid #CBA9
- Fitzgerald replies: "If we start to think about whose measurement counts the most, there is a dilemma" #CBA9 https://twitter.com/IIED/status/593662839845322752 …
- .@Irish_Aid's Fitzgerald: "It's not about what matters most, it's about getting it right". It's a question of balance #CBA9
- The debate was moderated in his inimitable style by Pablo Suarez, of Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, and he went on to share the outcomes of the game-playing sessions he had run during the conference
- We've moved on to outcomes from #CBA9, and @RCClimate's Pablo Suarez is updating delegates on his game-playing sessions
- The images show words participants associated with monitoring at the start of the @RCClimate session, & the end #CBA9 pic.twitter.com/SylKmIXxCL
- The first image reflects elements of M&E, the second image has a much greater focus on action #CBA9 @RCClimate
- Then it was time for individual groups to share their own outcomes with the wider conference
- Among those groups were Youth CBA, who held their own well-attended CBA conference in parallel with the main event

Kudos to organisers & participants at #CBA9 for providing a genuine #climatechange #adaptation learning experience. Thanks!- And while there may be no more session, speeches or events, there is still plenty of interviews for both those who attended the conference, and those who didn't, to get as much as possible from the event
- #CBA9 may be over, but there is still plenty to see & learn, inc. a series of video interviews with sessions leads: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1iUHL94bWo4JTOHHBLzD0aOTq7_gfuuB …
