The missions objectives
28/02/2014
Provide recommendations:
• For joint activities and programming
across sectors and themes
• For a Roadmap for the NAP process in
Cambodia
• On how to improve the existing planning
and implementation framework.

3. Page 3
Main objectives of a NAP process according to
UNFCCC and LEG Technical Guidelines
28/02/2014
• To take a medium- and long-term approach to reducing
vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change.
• To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation,
in a coherent manner, into relevant new and existing
policies, programmes and activities, in particular
development planning processes and strategies, within all
relevant sectors and at different levels, as appropriate.

Gap analysis for Cambodian context comparing with LEG
NAP Technical Guidelines
28/02/2014
• NAP Process not yet launched
• Comprehensive inventory of existing data
missing
• Lack of consistent scenarios (time horizon,
methodology, context)
• Fragmented VAs and outdated information
• Long-term implementation strategy
incomplete – across sectors and financing
• Fragmented capacity development
initiatives
• M&E for climate change adaptation not
operational

5. Page 5
Strengths
• Well established planning framework for CCA
• Key issues addressed
• Well established institutional setting
• Good ownership
• Various programmes and projects financed
28.02.2014
Weaknesses
• Weak vertical integration
• Lack of capacities at sub-national level
• Finances far under needs
• Scattered data production and use
• Limited sector cooperation on joint programmes
• No sustainability in project like approaches
SWOT-Analysis of existing CCA processes
Opportunities
• Openness to continue CCA mainstreaming
among most actors
• Broadly accepted coordinating role by MOE
• Cambodia well integrated into international
networks
• Sub-national cooperation structures existing
Threats
• Limited culture of cross-sectorial
implementation
• Financial system scattered and budget
allocation opaque
• Still quite centralized policy making
• Project rather than programme approach

Strategy areas for added value of NAP I
• Bundle implementation
Activity fields from the CCAPs
which offer synergies through
joint implementation.
28.02.2014
• Data systems and analyses
Harmonized/standardized data processing, modeling,
projections, vulnerability assessments, GIS.
• Support financing systematically
MOE might adopt ‘finance brokering’ function to match
financing needs with sources.

8. Page 8
• Overall steering of implementation
Establish and timely run overall M&E system at MOE to
ensure learning process for CCA.
• Vertical mainstreaming to sub-national level
Support measures such as capacity development, advisory
services, up-scaling mechanisms, enhanced ownership at
local level.
• Qualitative mainstreaming
EIA with CCA reflection, Climate Proofing for larger projects.

Examples for Added Value Approaches
Support systematic financing
• Finance brokering by MOE as ‘regular’ advisory
function (no consultant study) for matchmaking of
needs and sources
• Connected to DNA function
• Making use of international negotiations and contacts
• Enhance climate finance transparency: Regular
CPEIR, pilot classification (especially for budget
support, PBA)
• Conduct Loss & Damage study
• Specify support mechanisms after evaluation of
Climate Change Financing Framework Study
28.02.2014

11. Page 11
Bundled implementation
• Land-use planning with CCA reflection (MAFF,
MLMUPC, NCDM, MRD)
• Integrated programmes for identifying local
vulnerability hot spots (e.g. highly flood prone areas)
including agriculture, housing, irrigation schemes,
Disaster Risk Management, …
• Program oriented strengthening of infrastructures
(schools (MOEYS), MPWT, NCDD …)
• Water consumption / management at local level
(MRD, MAFF, MOWRAM)

Elements for a NAP ‘roadmap’ I
Establishing the NAP process
• Strategy development for mobilizing added value (e.g.
strengthening joint implementation, financing) of NAP in
Cambodia including timeline, means of cooperation, roles of
actors
• Launching the NAP process in the country
e.g. through Inception Workshop:
 Point of departure
 What does NAP mean for Cambodia?
 Specify areas and activities of added value (see above)
• Adopt specified NAP Strategy / confirm mandate
• Communication of ‘Cambodian NAP’ to UNFCCC/LEG Chair
and at international level
28.02.2014

14. Page 1428/02/2014
Implementing the NAP process / the CCCSP and CCAPs
• Provide a mechanism, including standards, for an overarching
vulnerability assessment, including selection of models and time frame
for scenarios.
• Conduct comprehensive vulnerability assessments which will serve
multiple sectors.
• Joint implementation guideline to be developed and reflected in CCAPs
implementation.
• Capacity development approach to strengthen CCA in sectors and
province level implementation, linking to advisory services on demand
to complement training components.
• Conduct in-depth Technology Needs Assessment for sectors
• Analyze synergies between mitigation and adaptation in sectors

Review and learning
• M&E System for CC in place quickly and
connected to mechanism for VA, data collection
systems and training for staff for analysis at
MOE and sectors. Vertical integration of
provincial and commune data collection.
• Review of NAP process.
• 2016: reflect NAP progress in National
Communication.
