1. GEF LDCF Support to LDCs for NAPs process: Phase 2
7 October 2016, Bangkok
Expanded Support to LDCs12 Nov 2016

2. Presentation Outline
Expanded Support to LDCs on
National Adaptation Plans, 2016 –
2019 (Phase 2)
Component 1: Direct Country
Support
Component 2: Regional Support
Component 3: Knowledge Brokering

3. Phase 1 Evaluation found that:
• with limited budget, project was designed
with a sound regard for the international
policy context and for individual countries’
national policy processes.
• participation of the LEG and the UNFCCC
secretariat allowed for a continued
maintenance of linkages between the GSP
and the overall NAP process driven by
countries.

2)

4. Objectives are to extend support towards building
technical capacity of LDCs:
• to implement and/or advance process for NAP
formulation
• to plan, finance, and implement adaptation
interventions through integration of climate
change into medium- to long-term development
frameworks
Budget: 6 million USD

2)

5. Direct Country Support
• Tailored one-on-one support to LDCs to initiate or
advance their process for NAP formulation and
implementation, including stock-taking –
thematic or cross-sectoral - customised training,
support to develop NAP roadmaps/work-plans
and identification of activities to advance NAPs;
• connection to broader sources of support
Target: 20 LDCs over 2.5 years
Component 1

6. Regional Support
• Training packages – including tools, methods
and guidelines – developed for LDCs to advance
their NAP process
• National technical expert team from LDCs
trained on specific topics related to assessing
long-term vulnerability to climate change and
relevant adaptation options through targeted
training workshops
Target: 2 comprehensive training packages and 6 targeted training
workshops
Component 2

7. • Exchange of experiences (south-south/north-south),
good practices and lessons of relevance to medium- to
long-term national, sectoral and local planning and
budgeting processes
• Develop strategy for knowledge sharing and sustaining
an extended network of partners’
• M& E framework that includes evaluative learning
strategic approaches and lessons from country
experiences
Target: tbd but will have component on (i) learning exchange workshops,
(ii) virtual platform for knowledge sharing (e.g. via LEG), and (iii)
analytical pieces with synthesized knowledge products on medium-to
long-term adaptation planning

2)

10. The Workplan May:
• build on needs and gaps identified by LDCs in the lead-up
to COP 21
• seek to demonstrate value of approaches (e.g. sectoral,
links to NDCs) for sustained and at scale impact
• seek to facilitate access to the requisite scale of financing
needed to see NAP process, by providing information on:
• sources of support countries can access to carry out
activates for which training was provided under LDCF-2
• how to leverage other sources to support NAP process
further, building on what is initiated with LDCF support
(e.g. GCF allocation for NAPs under readiness
