Quantification and scoring of evaluation
criteria
\label{quantification-and-scoring-of-evaluation-criteria}
The first issue concerns the quantification and scoring of project
indicators. All indicators associated with the evaluation criteria
should be firstly quantified, secondly compared with a benchmark (e.g.
the baseline situation without the project) and thirdly be scored. The
scoring system can be based on the ratio of the improvement that a
certain adaptation activity achieves, in comparison to the baseline, to
the difference to its respective target, expressed in %. This
percentage can subsequently be translated to a 0 - 1 point scoring
scale. In cases where there is more than one indicator, such as two
outputs indicators measuring progress on different dimensions, then the
final score can be calculated as the equal weighted summation of the
scores of the two selected indicators. By way of illustration, the
scoring system related to the criteria of implementation, efficiency,
effectiveness, equity and sustainability can be conceptualized as
follows (see boxes below).
