Indicator 11:
Project design is climate-responsive
Level: Project
Purpose
It's important for funders and implementers to ensure climate-SRHR projects are well-adapted to anticipated climate risks. They should be based on strong evidence and sound logic. This indicator will be used to identify what design factors are likely to contribute to a project's success and track how effectively investments are responding to anticipated climate hazards.
Definition
Whether or not a project is assessed to have a climate responsive design, as measured by a score of 14 or higher on the Concept and Proposal Design Evaluation Tool.
Data source & measurement
Project self-assessment or funder assessment using the Concept and Proposal Design Evaluation Tool.

Sub-indicators
11.1 Whether or not a project's design has been assessed for climate-responsiveness using the Concept and Proposal Design Evaluation Tool
11.2 Score on the Concept and Proposal Design Evaluation Tool
11.3 Whether or not a project has completed a gender-responsive climate hazard risk assessment to identify climate risks to beneficiaries, systems, and project activities in the implementation region
11.4 Whether or not a project has completed a climate risk response plan to address climate risks to project management and implementation
11.5 Whether or not a project has completed a theory of change integrating climate and SRHR
Qualitative Validation & Contextualization
- Copy of the climate-responsive design assessment report/score card and documentation of any perceived strengths, innovative approaches, or potential risks in the design
- Copy of the climate hazard risk assessment and documentation of the assessment methods, resources used, and lessons learned
- Copy of the climate risk response plan as well as documentation of the development process, resources used, and lessons learned
- Copy of the theory of change as well as documentation of the theory of change development process, evidence used, and lessons learned

Indicator 12:
Portfolio investments are climate-responsive
Level: Portfolio
Purpose
For funders, it’s critical to monitor robustness of design across their investments. This is a valuable signal for areas where more guidance or capacity support may be needed for grantees, as well as a signal of quality across investments. This indicator will be used to track robustness of climate-responsive design across investment portfolios and track a portfolio’s responsiveness to climate change shifts over time.

Indicator 13:
Portfolios offer design support to climate-SRHR grantees
Level: Portfolio
Purpose
Many climate-SRHR implementers — particularly grassroots and community-based organizations — face resource constraints that make it difficult for them to put forward project proposals that are competitive. Providing design support to climate-SRHR grantees is a way of ensuring funding access is just and equitable. It also can serve to ensure that investments are designed with more community input, stronger evidence, more adaptive implementation approaches, and more cohesive logic, which should result in greater impact. This indicator will be used to track the amount and type of design support provided for climate-responsive projects.
Definition
Number and percent of countries and investments in the portfolio that have received any design support (including both technical and financial support), including support for completing baseline analyses, theory of change development, and design-stage stakeholder engagement
