Planning climate adaptation in agriculture:
Meta-synthesis of national adaptation plans in West and East Africa and South Asia

1 Policy overview
NAPs and Agriculture: A learning workshop
• National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) established in 2010 by the UNFCCC to help facilitate effective medium- and long-term adaptation planning and implementation in developing countries, in particular Least Developed Countries (LDCs) (FCCC/CP/2011/9/Add.1)
• Adaptation Committee est. under Cancun Adaptation Framework promote the implementation of enhanced action on adaptation. Special attention paid to facilitation of NAPs by non-LDC developing country Parties. Will contribute to, and not duplicate work of the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) to support LDC national adaptation plan processes and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) on the work programme concerning loss and damage.
• LEG Technical Guidelines for NAPs.

Inter-sectoral analysis (agriculture, roads and hydropower) under climate change scenarios: • Agriculture at greater risk than hydropower. • If priority given to hydropower, up to a
billion cubic meters of water might be taken away from irrigated agriculture, causing a 30–40% yield drop across 250,000 hectares that would be forced to revert to rainfed conditions.
Strategy design/implementation
Integration with development and agric sector plans
• Structural and institutional issues: Agency mandates, capacity,
• Integrated adaptation assessments and integrated action plans
• How to strategically place adaptation priorities within the broader national policy framework?
• Align and mainstream into national development or sector plans …and leverage donor funds for ‘additional’
Adaptation plan implementation and funding
• Implementation funding: from?
• Timeline for implementation of activities, including review
• Iteratively assess conflicts and synergies with national development or sectoral plans
• Engage monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system early: initial focus on process elements not outcomes…occur at all scales and involve stakeholders.

Ghana Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Planning Process – The
Akropong Approach
Delali Kofi Nutsukpo, MoFA, Dr. C Dzomorozo, CSIR-ARI and
Daniel T. Benefor, EPA
Introduction
• To effectively address the nexus of food security, water, forest
and energy within a landscapes context requires effective
planning
• Such a planning process should be multi-sectoral and
iterative involving multi stakeholders
• The process approach for developing Ghana’s NCCS
provides an opportunity
Planning Process
• The integration of individual sectoral adaptation options in national
development can be challenging as they can not be considered in
isolation.
• Under the NCCS process sectoral experts was assembled to
select from a list of adaptation (75) options across the various
climate vulnerable sectors that were assessed.
Planning Process
• The proposed adaptation options were harmonised across sectors
using qualitative and quantitative analysis.
• An impact planning and methodological analysis tool was used to
assess inter-relationships between the sectoral options, and to
identify both synergies and conflicts
The Planning Process
• The multi-criteria analysis (MCA) was used to evaluate and rank the
options for selection.
• Selected adaptation options clearly highlighted the synergies and
conflicts between the various options
• Result was further subjected to wider stakeholder MCA analysis for
review and endorsement.
The Planning Process
• The revised adaptation programmes were further harmonised
based on ecosystem and programmatic approach.
• This resulted in 10 cross sectoral adaptation programmes
Priority Adaptation programmes
Item Titles of Adaptation Programmes
1. Increasing resilience to climate change impacts: identifying and enhancing early warning systems
2. Alternative livelihoods: minimizing impacts of climate change for the poor and vulnerable
3. Enhance national capacity to adapt to climate change through improved land use management
4. Adapting to climate change through enhanced research and awareness creation
5. Development and implementation of environmental sanitation strategies to adapt to climate change
6. Managing water resources as climate change adaptation to enhance productivity and livelihoods
7. Minimizing climate change impacts on socio-economic development through agricultural diversification
8. Minimizing climate change impacts human health through improved access to healthcare
9. Demand- and supply-side measures for adapting the national energy system to impacts of climate change
10. Adaptation to climate change: sustaining livelihoods through enhanced fisheries resource management
The Approach
• The tool was developed as part of the NCCAS E. Kemp-Benedict
and W. K. Agyemang-Bonsu and later became known as the
“Akropong Approach” – town in which it was developed and used

Discussion Forum 12: National Adaptation Plans : Opportunities for Cross Sector Synergies In The Nexus
Between Water, Food Security, Forests and Energy
Mainstreaming NAPs in Development Plans• India has succeeded in drafting the National Action Plan and
eight National Missions with strong focus on adaptation; envisages mainstreaming adaptation in the developmental planning.
• • Launching of the National Initiative on Climate Resilient
Agriculture (NICRA) for research and National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) for development both of which are key for implementing the national adaptation plans in agriculture.
• Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and Integrated Watershed Development Programme (IWMP) both of which have strong component of environmental services, climate change adaptation and livelihood support
National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture• Components:
• Strategic Research
• Technology Demonstration
• Capacity Building
• Process:
• Assessment for vulnerability to climatic stresses and extreme events
• Identify specific suite of technology module
• Intervention with whole village approach
• Product:
• 150 Climate Smart Village in most vulnerable districts
• 150 CSVs developed in as many districts
• The vision is to have all these villages comply with Climate Smart
Practices:
• Utilization of complete water harvesting potential
• Mandatory groundwater recharge structures
• Energy efficient pumps for water lifting
• Water saving rice cultivation practices
• Greening of wastelands with tree cover
• Livestock feeding, shelter and manure
