Abstract Local institutions play pivotal role in climate change adaptation though less attention has been given to them compared with other components of adaptation. The conventional approach to study local institutional roles focuses on how institutions can support climate change adaptation with little emphasis to other institutional dimensions. Thus, the current study deconstructs the conventional institutional roles in climate change adaptation to reframe them on broader institutional dimensions inspired by Young (2002). Data were collected from households, experts and community leaders on institutional frontiers of local public local institution. The study used mixed methods to analyse the data. The findings indicated that despite the presence of institutional set ups, most of the national policy provisions had not been implemented at local levels due to various reasons. Further, even the implemented policies had limited success because of lack of participation in policy making processes, absence of policy implementation guidelines and limited institutional capacity. The study also revealed very weak coordination among institutions working on climate change adaptation. As the result, climate adaptation policy implementation lack continuity, monitoring and evaluation system, and failed to yield transformative changes to the farmers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to participate, capacitate, and synergize local institutions, and establish policy monitoring and evaluation system so that national policy provisions can yield intended results.

解构气候变化适应中的机构角色:以埃塞俄比亚南部锡达马干旱多发地区的地方公共机构为例

摘要 地方机构在气候变化适应中发挥着关键作用,尽管与适应的其他组成部分相比,对它们的关注较少。研究地方机构角色的传统方法侧重于机构如何支持气候变化适应,而很少关注其他机构方面。因此,当前的研究解构了气候变化适应中的传统制度角色,以在 Young (2002) 的启发下在更广泛的制度维度上重新构建它们。数据是从当地公共地方机构的机构前沿的家庭、专家和社区领袖那里收集的。该研究使用混合方法来分析数据。调查结果表明,尽管存在机构设置,由于各种原因,大部分国家政策规定没有在地方一级得到执行。此外,由于缺乏对政策制定过程的参与、缺乏政策实施指南和有限的机构能力,即使是已实施的政策也取得了有限的成功。该研究还揭示了从事气候变化适应工作的机构之间的协调非常薄弱。结果,气候适应政策的实施缺乏连续性、监测和评估体系,未能给农民带来变革性的变化。因此,迫切需要参与、增强和协同地方机构,建立政策监测和评估体系,使国家政策规定能够产生预期效果。由于缺乏对决策过程的参与、缺乏政策实施指导方针和有限的机构能力,即使是已实施的政策也取得了有限的成功。该研究还揭示了从事气候变化适应工作的机构之间的协调非常薄弱。结果,气候适应政策的实施缺乏连续性、监测和评估体系,未能给农民带来变革性的变化。因此,迫切需要参与、增强和协同地方机构,建立政策监测和评估体系,使国家政策规定能够产生预期效果。由于缺乏对决策过程的参与、缺乏政策实施指导方针和有限的机构能力,即使是已实施的政策也取得了有限的成功。该研究还揭示了从事气候变化适应工作的机构之间的协调非常薄弱。结果,气候适应政策的实施缺乏连续性、监测和评估体系,未能给农民带来变革性的变化。因此,迫切需要参与、增强和协同地方机构,建立政策监测和评估体系,使国家政策规定能够产生预期效果。该研究还揭示了从事气候变化适应工作的机构之间的协调非常薄弱。结果,气候适应政策的实施缺乏连续性、监测和评估体系,未能给农民带来变革性的变化。因此,迫切需要参与、增强和协同地方机构,建立政策监测和评估体系,使国家政策规定能够产生预期效果。该研究还揭示了从事气候变化适应工作的机构之间的协调非常薄弱。结果,气候适应政策的实施缺乏连续性、监测和评估体系,未能给农民带来变革性的变化。因此,迫切需要参与、增强和协同地方机构,建立政策监测和评估体系,使国家政策规定能够产生预期效果。
