National adaptation planning (NAP)

growing in importance

Growing number of bilateral agencies

supporting national adaptation planning –

need for coordination

Need a space for more technical

discussions, interactions, exchange of

information related to NAP

Why a NAP Global

Network?

Generate interest in, demand for and

leadership of the NAP process at the

national level

Make available support for the NAP

process better known

Improve coordination, collaboration and

coherence among bilateral and multilateral

agencies and institutions

Recommendations

from the AC

To enhance bilateral support for the NAP

process in developing countries by:

Improving coordination and collaboration

among bilateral development partners

Facilitating learning and exchange on the

NAP process

Supporting enhanced leadership on

adaptation at the national level in developing

countries
