Moving forward • Promotion of a programmatic approach: development of

National Climate Change Strategic Plan, sectoral climate change action plans, and Climate Change Fiscal Framework

• Given current context, need to accommodate various modalities with the requirements: • Alignment with government strategic plans • Coordinated planning and budgeting mechanisms • Coordinated M&E, knowledge management mechanisms

• Key role for the NCCC and its Secretariat: identify priority actions; promote climate change mainstreaming into NSDP, relevant ministries’ action plan; capacity development and awareness raising, advise and support alignment of climate finance with the strategy; monitor progress and provide capacity development services to ministries
