NAP Road Map

Nap Stocktaking report

Key Milestones

Launch of the NAP process – Sept 2014

Setting up of structures – NAP Core Team and Sectoral

Teams and training them – CSOs represented

NAP roadmap – End 2015

Nap Stocktaking report – Early 2016

NAP readiness Proposal - Developed and submitted to

GCF in June 2017

Our Role Resource persons – shared VA Study reports to support

development of Stock-taking report and others

Key civil society expectations from NAP process defined

Participatory assessments of community vulnerabilities and capabilities revised, updated and documented

Technical expertise – part of the CORE Team and sectoral team and off backstopping

Financial resources – assisting in convening CORE Team meetings and proposal development meetings

National Adaptation Planning (NAP) process adopts and implements the priorities and options set by vulnerable groups – Advocacy Goal

Challenges

Inadequate finances – Attempts have been made to draft

proposal to GEF and GCF to support the process

Lack of technical capacity to complete some actions –

key experts have been supported to attend workshops on

NAP process have been organized nationally and

internationally - LEG NAP workshop and NAP Global

Network workshops

CSOs have also been part of these

Further required actions

Financial support for CORE Team and sectoral

teams to revisit the road map and roll it out

Robust technical support to the teams to carry

out and finalise some technical studies and

processes in time

Wider consultations when completing various

elements of the process

NAPA through LAPA framework contributed

to address most urgent, immediate and

priority adaptation needs

National Adaptation Plan (NAP)

Objectives of the NAP Process

To reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, by building adaptive capacity and resilience; and

To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a coherent manner, into relevant new and existing policies, programmes and activities, in particular development planning processes and strategies, within all relevant sectors and at different levels, as appropriate.

NAP Formulation Approach Establishing working groups to coordinate multi-stakeholder

thematic areas

Utilising existing coordination mechanisms;

Building capacity and enhancing understanding on CCA;

Building ownership and avoiding duplications on efforts;

Promoting multi-stakeholder participation;

Ensuring gender-sensitivity and inclusiveness; 'LEAVING NO ONE

BEHIND'

Generating, utilising and sharing knowledge and good

practices;

Adopting 'development first' with integration of adaptation

actions;

Aligning with national policies and linking with recent

initiatives (DRR and SDGs); and

Synergising ecosystem-based and community-based

adaptations.

Building on NAPA and LAPA experiences and good practices
