The document summarizes Niger's efforts to mainstream climate change adaptation into its national policies and development planning. It outlines that Niger established the CNEDD in 1996 to coordinate climate efforts and has developed several key climate plans and assessments. Nearly 100 of Niger's 226 municipalities have incorporated climate change into their local development plans. Niger is now working to fully mainstream climate risks and opportunities into its long-term "Vision 2035" development plan through the National Adaptation Plan process, but faces challenges of limited capacity and resources.

MAIN CHALLENGES OF CCA MAINSTREAMING IN NIGER
With the support of the UNDP-UNEP NAP-GSP and its partners
(UNITAR & GWP), Niger identified the main gaps and priority
interventions to advance its NAP process;
With the support of the UNFCCC Secretariat, Niger has elaborated
his road map for the formulation of the NAP;
With the support of the UNDP, the formulation of a proposal is on
going.
Additional support will be required to address the following
challenges:
• Limited institutional, functional and technical capacities
• Restricted financial, human and material resources
• Need to strengthen synergies and coordination between CCA
initiatives
• Weak monitoring and evaluation mechanisms
• Insufficient availability, reliability and management of data
