4. Webinar Objectives
1. Build a common understanding about effective institutional and
individual capacity development approaches to integrate the
Agriculture Sector during the formulation and implementation of
National Adaptation Plans
2. Reflect on how can capacity development be operationalised,
incl. practical approaches and tools to assess capacities for National
Adaptation Planning
3. Capacity development should be country-driven to achieve
lasting results. Examples from Kenya and Viet Nam

Editor's Notes
75% of the world’s poor & food insecure people rely directly on agriculture & natural resources for their living.
The Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) programme is a multiyear initiative funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI). It supports partners under a country-driven process to identify and integrate climate adaptation measures for agricultural sectors into relevant national planning and budgeting processes.
The programme initially targets eight countries: Kenya, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Uganda, Uruguay, Vietnam and Zambia. However, it plans to expand to other countries in the Pacific, Asia, Africa as well as Latin America and the Caribbean.
The new programme builds on existing FAO and UNDP country activities, by assisting them to develop tailored responses to their needs. For instance:
In Nepal, there is a need to increase conservation of drought-resistant crop varieties by adopting water-conserving farming practices and promoting crop diversification. The consequences of last year's earthquakes highlight the importance of reducing risks for farmers due to climate and disasters.
In Uganda, UNDP is helping set up a much-needed early-warning system for climate risks. The program will link to FAO projects that include educating farmers in the use of drought-tolerant seeds, plants and trees, as well as expand eucalyptus plantations for charcoal.
FAO and UNDP will also expand their efforts in the Philippines to map vulnerability to food insecurity due to climate change, and explore ways to scale up risk-transfer mechanisms for farming communities.
In Uruguay, efforts to restore degraded pasture lands and at-risk coastal ecosystems will be central to the new programme.
