• NAPA drafted in 2006
 8 most vulnerable municipalities identified
 Most vulnerable sectors identified
 Most vulnerable communities identified (farmers, cattle
breeders)
 Most vulnerable groups identified (women, youth, elderly)
 14 adaptation options identified
• Lessons learnt:
 A few adaptation projects are being implemented based on
NAPA priorities, mainly in the agricultural and cattle breeding
areas;
 These pilot projects remain insufficient compared to the needs
of the population
 Good practices must be scaled up through projects of a bigger
size

• In order to identify long term solutions, Niger is working
towards mainstreaming CC into its development planning
and budgeting through the NAP process.
• This process will ensure the full mainstreaming of CC risks
and opportunities into the “Vision 2035 – Niger SDDCI”,
and help promote inclusive growth and strengthen
sustainable development.

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.
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
