NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLAN GLOBAL SUPPORT PROGRAMME:
SUPPORTING LDCS TO ADVANCE NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLANS
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.
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
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
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.
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)
OVERVIEW OF NAP-GSP ACTIVITIES

•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)
