  1. First thoughts for the ECBI Workshop Naivasha, 28-30 September 2006 Balgis Osman Elasha Tom Downing NAPA Experiences

  2. The process • Interviews with NAPA teams • Questionnaire • Review of draft and final NAPA documents • Expert dialogues

  3. Interview with NAPA teams Issues discussed • Approaches for developing NAPA • Lessons learned • Strengths and weaknesses • The way forward

  4. Questionnaire • General information • Status of the NAPA • Focus of the assessment • Methods employed • Ranking process • Lessons learned (what worked best, gaps and constraints etc. ) • Opportunities

  5. Expert dialogue in Cape Town • Knowledge of climate change may be low in some ministries and organisations, but experience in resource and risk management • Expertise (and mandate) for adaptation may not be located in organisations with a lead for coordinating NAPAs • Criteria agreed for the NAPA process have led to urgent projects that are oriented toward basic development • Need to bridge scales, between implementation at the local level and national to international policy

  6. Review of draft and final NAPA documents

  7. Scale of project targets • Majority are sector-wide efforts • None target specific vulnerable social group or pool efforts across countries

  8. Project types • Vast majority are investment in specific development interventions • A range of projects seek to raise awareness, develop the information base for adaptation and/or build institutional capacity • Relatively few propose reforming institutions and regulation • Two propose insurance as an adaptation mechanism

  9. What worked well • Awareness created • Capacity building at all levels • Involvement of experts from different sectors • Selection of sectors and stakeholders • Etc.

  10. Ranking process (1) • Using a computer software ( e.g. Definite, HiView, NAPASSESS) • Targeting specific groups (e.g. livelihood-sensitive matrix) • Using participatory stakeholder consultation process • Stratified ranking (contribution to social, economic and env. Issues)

  11. Ranking process (2) • Social (quality of life, no. of beneficiaries, etc.) • Env (reducing degradation) • Economic (contribution to SD) • Weights given to different criteria vary according to local priorities ??

  12. Ranking process (3) • Technical feasibility • Economic costs and benefits • Levels of stakeholders involvement • Losses avoided • Sustainability of livelihoods • Cross cutting issues and synergetic approach • Magnitude of impacts

  13. Policy issues • What is the project baseline? • GEF guidance on the additional action justified as adaptation to climate change • What is the policy aim? • Climate proofing, climate resilience, climate aware • What is the justification for funding the action from limited climate change sources rather than mainstream development funding? • Link between urgent needs and additional climatic risks: baselines, trends, scenarios • How can we learn from our experience? • Project-level and community-scale activities, program approach or integration with sectoral policies ??
