What is Development?
“Development is like a tree- it can be nurtured in its growth only by feeding its roots not by pulling on its branches” I. Serageldin
Capacity
Country Ownership
Country Leadership
Joint-Commitment
Sustainable Results
Systemic Capacities (3 dimensions)
Individual dimension areas:Awareness / Understanding, Knowledge/ Skills / Attitudes
Organizational / Institutional dimension areas: functioning and performance of organizations and institutions including:
Coordination mechanisms / Mandates / Terms of References / Information, Data and Knowledge sharing/ Budget and Funding / Multi-Stakeholder Processes
Enabling environment areas: contextin which individuals and organizations exist including:Governance / institutional linkages / implicit and explicit rules / laws and policies / Institutional Political Economy
Technical & Functional capacities
> Understanding importance of agriculture within NAPs among decision-makers > Adaptation sensitive planning skills
>national cross-sectoral coordination between relevant Ministries for NAPs formulation and implementation
> Aligned agricultural, energy and environmental policies within NAPs
Capacity
Development
support
Existing
capacities
• Whose and what capacities are to be developed?
Participatory Capacity Needs
Assessment
• Enhance country ownership, leadership and stakeholder commitment to enhance capacities
• Strategic and targeted
interventions (starting from existing capacities)
• Baseline to monitor progress across all CD dimensions
Why assess capacities comprehensively and with broad participation?
Initial Organizational / Institutional Assessment Agriculture Integration into NAPs, April 2016, Rome
Challenges / Needs:
Actions to Improve:
• Institutional mandates of MoA to engage in Climate Change planning / implementation
• Establish review committee for mandatesharpening
• Inter-Sectoral coordination for Climate Change -> NAPs
• Review and strengthen existing institutional coordination mechanism clarifying roles and responsibilities, rules, procedures etc.
• Alignment and harmonization of sectoral policies
• Cross-sectoral policy review, harmonization and alignment with NAP process

How are Capacities Enhanced (Interventions)?
Combination of different CD options across three CD dimensions is key
Important: capacity development goes beyond training
Formal training based on Learning Needs Assessment
Blended and Learning on-the-job
Farmer / Climate Field Schools
South-South Knowledge exchanges / Study visits
Evidence-based Policy dialogue
Review Alignment of Policies / Strategies / Plans
Creation of multi-stakeholder platforms for NAPs formulation and implementation
Review of intra-organizational coordination (i.e. vertical coordination between national, state, district)
Review of Ministerial Mandates
Regional Policy Workshop
Strengthen NAPs Inter-Ministerial
coordination mechanisms (i.e.
horizontal coordination)

Effective CD for Integrating Agriculture into NAPs for Sustainable Implementation means…..
Looking at the “what” and the “how” to enhance capacities (Process matters)

Jointly assessing, designing, implementing and tracking sustainable CD activities
Anchoring in Development effectiveness principles (Country Ownership, Leadership)
Focusing on all three capacity development dimensions (individual, organizational / institutional, enabling environment)
