This presentation is about the National Adaptation Plan Global Support Programme (NAP-GSP).
This is a Global Environment Facility (LEF) Least Developed Country Fund (LDCF) financed Global Support Programme to Assist Least Developed Countries (LDCs) with their climate change National Adaptation Plans (NAP) process.
The Global Support Programme “supporting LDCs to Advance the National Adaptation Plans (NAPs)” was launched on 14 June 2013, following endorsement of the GEF CEO.
Prior to the approval from the GEF/LDCF, 17 countries requested official support from NAP-GSP.
These countries include: Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Comoros, Congo, Djibouti, Gambia, Lesotho, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Sudan, and Tanzania. All LDCs that wish to have assistance from the GSP are able to request assistance, as and when required.
Specialized UN Agencies collaborating on the NAP-GSP include: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), World Health Organization (WHO), The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Other partners include the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the Global Water Partnership (GWP). Collaborative partnerships are also being formed with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), among others.

About National Adaptation Plan Global Support Programme (NAP-GSP)
1. NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLAN GLOBAL SUPPORT PROGRAMME:
SUPPORTING LDCS TO ADVANCE NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLANS
2. ABOUT NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLAN
GLOBAL SUPPORT PROGRAMME (NAP-GSP)
UNDP-GEF, UNEP, The GEF Secretariat, UNFCCC, WHO, Global Water Partnership, FAO, IFAD and UNITAR
have launched the National Adaptation Plan Global Support Programme (NAP-GSP) to assist LDCs with
NAPs.
NAP-GSP is responding to requests for support from LDCs to achieve medium- to long-term planning
for adaptation that is fully integrated into relevant policy and planning processes.
NAP-GSP provides technical assistance; targeted training; and promotes dialogue, partnership building,
and knowledge exchange, among national stakeholders in LDCs and other North and South countries.
NAP-GSP is supporting the identification, financing and implementation of adaptation measures by LDCs
at national, sub-national and local levels to ensure sustainability of institutional country-driven efforts.
NAP-GSP is drawing on the best available science, experiences and good practices to achieve the
integration of adaptation into existing development plans and budgets.
3. STRENGTHENING CAPACITIES, NOT PROVIDING MAGIC PILLS!
Multistakeholder
framework
Cross-Ministerial Working Groups, Technical Committees,
national/sub-national
Use of national
experts
With tailored technical assistance provided, based on country
needs/demand
Institutional
Capacity-building
needs
To support a country-driven, sustainable, iterative process that builds
on existing institutional structures
Diversified
learning
Exchange of experiences on process followed, findings,
challenges/opportunities within/between countries/regions
Encourage
gender inclusion
Provide opportunities that support incorporation of gender
considerations into NAPs
4. NAP-GSP MODEL FOR CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT (CON’T)
• Green low-emissions, climate-resilient development strategies
• National communications, NAPA
Build on
other
related
support to
countries
• LDCF, SCCF, AF, bilateral (Canada, Sweden) – funded national initiatives
• Economics of Adaptation capacity-building programmes (Africa, Asia,
Pacific)
• Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Reviews (SIDA)
• UNDP- Strengthening the Governance of CC Finance to benefit the poor
and vulnerable
• Legal frameworks for adaptation
• Ecosystem based adaptation
5. SUPPORTING TRANSFORMATIONAL VISION OF COUNTRIES
Remove
barriers
Remove technical, financial, and institutional barriers to achieve medium-tolong term adaptation planning
Improve CC
information
Establish information systems for tracking vulnerability to climate change risks
for prioritization and tracking impacts of interventions
Country &
Demand
Driven
Build on national circumstances (sector selection, scope); use a demand-driven,
bottom-up approach
Long-term
& Strategic
To mainstream adaptation into existing planning and budgeting processes
Support
“readiness”
Support catalytic public and private finance for medium and long-term national
adaptation needs
Assess
impacts
Assess development impacts and co-benefits of NAPs and design systems to
capture results. Create institutional capacity while pursuing positive impacts on
growth, jobs, agriculture and water security, etc.
6. FOCUS OF GSP ACTIVITIES
•
•
Coordinated, targeted technical assistance
– Based on stocktaking consultations with countries, emerging technical assistance needs are
identified and addressed through technical backstopping (in-country and on-line) and
thematic workshops.
Promotion of Regional Cooperation
– Leverage national efforts with regional public and private partners / actors / institutions
– Facilitate inter-governmental dialogue to work together towards common priorities in
adaptation planning
•
Catalytic
– Builds on other global efforts in collaboration with multilateral development partners and
promoting synergies across countries, this programme helps scale-up and catalytic results
of nationally-led efforts
•
Creation of Global Exchange culture and Peer-to-Peer Learning
– Encourage North-South and South-South knowledge exchange via Thematic Regional
Workshops, “blended learning” (web-based and physical training), and bilateral technical
assistance.
– Sharing of best practices and lessons learned (newsletters, web-based systems, workshops)

•methodology development for long-term adaptation planning and budgeting and
national – level assessments of institutional gaps (UNITAR)
• Promotion of partnerships amongst Governments to Advance NAPs (AMCEN)
• South / South global dialogue on ecosystem based climate change adaptation
• Outreach and dissemination of lessons and best practices, enhancement of
practitioners’ networks
