The NAP Agriculture Programme
Transcript of The NAP Agriculture Programme
Vision
To assist decision makers in programme countries to integrate climate change concerns
as they affect agricultural sector-based livelihoods into associated national and sectoral
planning and budgeting processes
At the end of 4 years, the programme should demonstrate evidence of innovative approaches developed and adopted by countries, that are recognized as effective and sustainable by knowledge institutions and independent experts
Target group Senior policymakers and technical staff at the national and sub-national
levels, involved in the planning, priority setting, and budgeting for sustainable development leading the process of mainstreaming climate
change concerns into the agricultural-sectors within existing planning and budgeting processes and frameworks.
Key institutions include: Agriculture (including Forestry and Fisheries)EnvironmentPlanning and Finance
Important stakeholders include : HousingLand and Community Development Water, Women’s Affairs, Urban Development inter-departmental working groups on climate change and national meteorological institutionsPrivate sectorCivil society
Innovative features• Unique collaboration between FAO and UNDP:
synergy with complementary expertise
• Addresses both technical and functional capacities for mainstreaming climate change adaptation in planning and budgeting processes
• Incentivizes fast moving countries and catalytic ideas with funds reserved at HQ
• Global and national/sub-national level feedback built into implementation logic

Outcome 4:
Advocacy and
knowledge-sharing
on NAPs promoted
Outcome 3:
Evidence-based
results for NAPs
improved
Programme Outcomes
Outcome 1:
Technical capacity
and institutions on
NAPs strengthened
Outcome 1: Technical capacity and institutions on NAPs strengthened
Indicator: % of technical staff and public service officers supporting AG-based livelihood adaptation in relevant ministries trained in national adaptation planning and budgeting, including the technical aspects of formulating roadmaps, and conducting economics of adapt assessmentsOutput 1.1 Training in adaptation sensitive planning and budgeting
UNDP • Skills and capacity assessment - NAP• NAP training, climate scenario-building • Technical groups formed • Workshops on impacts of climate change and adaptation options for
the agricultural sector
Output 1.2 Training in economic valuation, CBA for adaptation options in the AG sectors
FAO • Skills and capacity assessment of climate change adaptation in the agricultural sector
• Training on adaptation cost-benefit analysis and budgeting• Training on adaptation options and cost-benefit analysis• Handbook on lessons learnt
Output 1.3 Developed training materials based on needs identified
UNDP • Outreach meetings to connect public sector experts from relevant ministries to the technical group and available training programs.

Country Priorities
UruguayLinking
intra-ministerial coordination with
impact assessments of ongoing agricultural
projects and capacity development of
national institutions.
NepalStrengthen CCA priorities in sub-national planning and
implementation of the Agricultural Development
Plan
ThailandSupport to the next Strategic Plan for climate change in Agriculture (2017-
2021), as well as capacity development and impact assessment
of adaptation options for the agricultural sectors.
ZambiaBuild capacities of technical
staff on cost-benefit analysis; skills assessments and stock-takes; and develop impact monitoring frameworks for
pilot agriculture-based livelihood projects.
VietnamImprovement of the evidence base on adaptation and the formulation of a potential
national strategic investment plan for the agricultural sector.
UgandaStrengthening capacities, operationalising the Uganda Agricultural Sector NAP roadmap and
development of Performance Monitoring Frameworks for the agriculture sector guided by the Climate Change Department’s national
frameworks.
KenyaCapacity development and
intra-ministerial coordination, as well as
support to the Kenya Climate-Smart Agriculture
Framework programme (KCSAFP) .
Overview of progressUNDP Country Offices and FAO Country Offices have a common understanding of roles and responsibilities to deliver joint work-plans
5 FAO-Government Agreements have been signed, advanced discussions are taking place in other countries
National inception workshops to validate the WP will take place in March-June 2016
National teams (Technical coordinators and specialists) under recruitment and to be placed mostly in Ministries of Agriculture
Global UNDP and FAO programme teams in place
Roster of global experts for climate science, economics of adaptation, communication and knowledge management experts in place to support country teams
Overview of progress Draft country work-plans prepared through national consultations led by
FAO/UNDP led in dialogue with Ministries of Agriculture and UNFCCC focal points
Country plans focus on supporting integration of climate adaptation in existing frameworks and processes rather than standalone activities.
Links to broader NAP processes forged in several countries – Nepal and Thailand as well as to other donor supported initiatives relevant to NAPs.
Institutional buy-in at the country level cemented
Formation of technical steering committees to oversee the work-plan in programme countries
Nomination of government focal points
Programme gains visibility at the LDC Expert Group Meetings and at Adaptation Committee through links with the UNDP/UNEP NAP GSP
Trends in country priorities• Strengthen capacities to link climate policy and public finance
• Mainstream climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into agriculture sector plans, policies, budgets (both national and provincial)
• Improve impact monitoring frameworks
• Understand climate benefits of adaptation options and their planning/budgeting implications
• Improve evidence base for adaptation plans for the agricultural sector
• Improve evidence base for agricultural sector inputs into National Climate Change strategy/policy
Example Thailand – draft workplanOutcome 1 Outcome 2 Outcome 3 Outcome 4
• Enhanced MOAC capacity to undertake CC vulnerability assessment and adaptation-sensitive planning
• Mainstream CCA into the Strategic Plan for CC in Agriculture (2017-2021)
• Enhance monitoring and evaluation frameworks for CCA
• Interdepartmental and inter-ministerial coordination in MOAC for CCA improved
• Enhanced MOAC capacity with economic valuation and investment appraisal tools for adaptation-sensitive planning
• Mainstreaming CCA into sector budgeting
• Strengthened capacity of MOAC monitoring units for monitoring the impact and effectiveness of adaptation
• Project lessons learnt and outputs integrated into broader Thailand NAP process
