The NAP-Ag Programme works with countries to integrate climate risks and opportunities in agriculture into national adaptation plans and budgets. It focuses on strengthening technical capacity and institutions for NAPs, developing roadmaps, improving evidence, and promoting advocacy. Activities include training on cost-benefit analysis, gender mainstreaming, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and leveraging climate finance. Key achievements include advancing adaptation strategies in agriculture, enhancing decision-maker capacity, and boosting attention to integrating agriculture into NAPs. Future work includes regional knowledge sharing, tools to support women farmers, and case studies to build evidence on agricultural adaptation.

2. What does the NAP-Ag do?
2
Programme Goal: to integrate climate change risks
and opportunities as they relate to agriculture
sector-related livelihood options within existing
national planning and budgeting processes
Programme Outcomes
Outcome 1:
Technical capacity and
institutions on NAPs
strengthened
Outcome 2:
Integrated roadmaps for
NAPs developed
Outcome 3:
Evidence-based results for
NAPs improved
Outcome 4:
Advocacy and knowledge-
sharing on NAPs promoted

3. Strengthening CCA
& Agriculture
strategies and plans
Since 2015, the Programme has worked closely with
policy and technical staff in key ministries, including
agriculture, environment, planning and finance as well
as key institutions in local government, to strengthen
adaptation planning and budgeting in the agriculture
sectors and the overall NAP processes in all partner
countries.

5. Gender-
responsive
planning
Together with partner countries, UNDP and
FAO have developed a series of gender
mainstreaming activities, enhancing global
and country team members’ capacity to
address gender issues.

6. Monitoring and
Evaluation
The Programme has initiated support to the
development of monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
frameworks for the agricultural sectors in a set of NAP-
Ag countries.
The aim is to enhance the M&E of key adaptation
policies and/or programme portfolios, which would then
feed into adaptation planning processes in the
agricultural sector and, where possible, into broader
national planning and budgeting processes.

7. Evidence-based
planning: cost-
benefit analysis
and impact
evaluation
Training sessions have been held to enhance evidence-
based decision-making for effective adaptation
planning in the agricultural sectors. Specific topics
included economic appraisal tools such as cost-benefit
analyses and impact evaluation, which can support the
planning and identification of appropriate adaptation
options.

8. Leveraging finance
for NAPs and
ensuring the
integration of the
agricultural sectors
The NAP-Ag Programme is assisting countries to
design activities that can leverage allocations from the
GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support programmes
to advance adaptation planning activities in agriculture.

9. Advocacy of
NAPs and
agriculture
The NAP-Ag Programme aims to enhance the
exchange of lessons learned on integrating agriculture
in NAPs within countries and across countries through
South-South and triangular cooperation, as well as at
global level within the UNFCCC process.
The NAP-Ag Programme engages in a range of
partnerships. Knowledge products, knowledge sharing
and platforms.

10. Key Achievements
■ Advanced the development of climate change adaptation planning strategies and frameworks in the
agriculture sectors
■ Enhanced capacities of agriculture sector's decision-makers to appraise adaptation options, using cost-
benefit analysis and impact evaluation, as a means to advance the NAP processes
■ Initiated the leveraging of climate finance for the implementation of climate change adaptation
strategies and frameworks in the agriculture sectors
■ Boosted capacity for gender mainstreaming through: technical training; incorporation of sex-
disaggregated data and gender analysis into cost-benefit analyses and impact evaluations; and
development of a tool to increase women’s incomes in the agriculture sector's value chains
■ Catalyzed global attention to the integration of agriculture into NAPs
■ Addressing Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in National Adaptation Plans – Supplementary
guidelines, now available in English, French and Spanish.
