| Overview : The Project “Supporting Developing Countries to Integrate Agriculture Sectors into National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag)” is Directly implemented by UNDP and FAO in Uganda and 11 other countries. The project's goal is to integrate climate change concerns related to agriculture-based livelihoods within existing national planning and budgeting processes of the selected countries. The integration of adaptation options in planning frameworks and budgets is expected to contribute to: - Enhancement of institutional capacities and processes for operationalizing climate response strategies in the agricultural sector;
- More strategic allocations of national budgets earmarked for adaptation investments;
- Capturing of lessons and relevant information on good practices to inform other sectors on integrating adaptation needs into national planning and budgeting;
- Sharing and increased learning from the lessons and experiences from the other 7 countries where similar interventions are being implemented.
The Uganda component of the three-year program is supported by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment’s (BMUB) and International Climate Initiative (IKI); with USD$700,000 earmarked to support interventions. This project responds to UNFCCC conclusions that invited UN organizations, specialized agencies, and bilateral organizations to enhance financial and technical support to the NAP process for developing countries. Through the NAP-Ag project, FAO and UNDP have technically supported the Government of Uganda, through MAAIF, to build capacity for climate change adaptation Planning in the Agriculture Sector. The NAP-Ag process in Uganda has built on previous government responses to climate challenges, such as the NAPAs in 2007, and has ultimately developed a NAP-Ag Framework; - a framework that guides medium to long term climate change adaptation in the agriculture sector. The process of implementing the NAP-Ag project and developing the NAP-Ag framework has generated lessons and good planning practices that should be captured, entailed and shared to inform the overall NAP process as well as that of other sectors. Results of this consultancy shall also contribute to Outcome 4 of the NAP-Ag project – “Advocacy and knowledge-sharing on NAPs promoted”. Objective: To document the NAP-Ag process, capture the lessons learned and the good practices to inform the overall national and other sectoral climate change adaptation planning processes. |
