Linkage to NAP

5. Key Strengths, Challenges and Opportunities
1. Strengths
• A process of transforming climate change sectoral plan to
NAP
• A sectoral plan is linkage with NAP and National Economic
and Development Plan
• Coordination among stakeholders at provincial level and
national level
• Available of climate information

6. Key Strengths, Challenges and Opportunities
2. Challenges
• Do we have too many agencies and too much information
available?
• Establishment of institution to responsible for climate change
information at the national and regional level
• How to access the climate information (for example farmers),
translate climate scientific information to local languages that
easy to understand

7. Key Strengths, Challenges and Opportunities
3. Opportunities
• Climate information are available at many agencies and
academic institution
• Technical expertise are available
• CIS for NAP and for disaster risk reduction
• CIS are available for decision makers in planning process
