| Hello
NAP Global Network Members!

Explore the Government of
Eswatini’s adaptation outreach programme through photos,
case studies, and key findings. Under the
programme, the Eswatini NAP task team organized
awareness-raising workshops in the country’s four
regions and documented communities’ Traditional and
Indigenous Knowledge on climate change to inform the NAP
process. More details in a new briefing
note.
Haiti submitted its NAP to the
UNFCCC in early January. “Even though the
situation in the country remains uncertain, we have to
move ahead with the activities set out in Haiti’s
National Adaptation Plan process,” said Gerty Pierre,
Climate Change Director, Ministry of Environment, Haiti.
A recent briefing note identifies
the roles of key stakeholders in
implementing Haiti’s NAP.
The first progress review of the
implementation of Kenya’s NAP 2015–2030
highlights positive outcomes in the agriculture sector,
including initiatives to promote Indigenous Knowledge
about crops and efforts to strengthen land management
systems to help the livestock sector adapt. This report features 15 photos that Kenyan
women captured through the Envisioning Resilience
initiative to inform decisions in the NAP
process with visual stories depicting Indigenous
Knowledge and gender-based climate impacts and
solutions.
Liberia has developed a
monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework for
their NAP. Liberia launched its first NAP
in late 2021, and the MEL framework—which includes
objectives, required institutional arrangements, and a
3-year work plan—will help the country track
progress.
Congratulations to Bosnia and
Herzegovina for submitting its NAP to the
UNFCCC.
