Output

Outcome 1 Least Developed Countries are capacitated to advance medium- to long-term adaptation planning processes in the context of their national development strategies and budgets

Output 1.1 Stock-take of information and processes that are of relevance to the NAP process in the country and identification of key gaps to integrate climate change into medium- to long-term planning processes. This will include ensuring that key stakeholders are engaged in taking stock of on-going initiatives of relevance to NAPs, defining the scope of key requirements and expectations, and assessing the gaps and needs – in terms of information, skills and institutional capacity – for advancing medium- to long-term planning and budgeting processes for adaptation in the context of country specific planning processes and guidance emerging from the COP.

Output 1.2 National and sub-national institutional and coordination arrangements established in 12 LDCs, including financial and other requirements for advancing to medium- to long-term adaptation planning and budgeting.

Output 1.3 National roadmaps on the NAP process are formulated, including elements for monitoring the progress of their implementation. The roadmaps will be country-specific, outlining country-specific gaps that need to be filled, budget support required (including an inventory of national or international expertise and other inputs), and timelines for deliverables related to the advancement of NAPs, including reporting on progress to the LEG, AC, UNFCCC subsidiary bodies, etc. The roadmaps will contain information that can be submitted to the LDCF and/or other funding sources with the aim of obtaining the additional finance necessary to support and advance the NAP process in the country

Outcome 2 Tools and approaches to support key steps of the National Adaptation Plan process are developed and accessible to all LDCs

Output 2.1 Technical guidance tools and detailed methodologies by sector, policy materials, guiding principles, case studies on lessons and good practices made accessible in local languages and usable formats to all LDCs, developed in partnership with relevant stakeholders. Effort will be made use existing sectoral guidance and support, as is being developed by other organisations, rather than create new ones. For example, for health, WHO is currently developing guidance that covers vulnerability and assessments, economic tools, gender, early warning systems, indicators for health system resilience and health sector-related NAP guidance.

Output 2.2 National teams in 12 LDCs are trained in the use of the tools and approaches to advance to medium- to long-term adaptation planning and budgeting.

Output 2.3 Web-based training materials prepared for use by countries as they commence their respective NAP processes.

Outcome 3. Exchange of lessons and knowledge through South-South and North-South Cooperation to enhance capacities to formulate and advance the National Adaptation Plan process

Output 3.1 South-South and North-South transfer of technical and process-orientated information on experiences, good practice, lessons and examples of relevance to medium- to long-term national, sectoral and local plans and planning and budgeting processes are captured, synthesised and made available to all LDCs to utilise in advancing the NAP process.
