Integration of agriculture sectors in the National Adaptation Plans (NAP)

• Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) is a multi-year Programme funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) through its International Climate Initiative (ICI).
• It supports partner countries under a country-driven process to identify and address climate change adaptation measures for the agriculture sectors in relevant national planning and budgeting processes through the formulation and implementation of a National Adaptation Plan (NAP).

Video interviews from three African countries highlight the focus areas, gaps and needs as well as the priority that the NAP process has to ensure food security, livelihoods and sustainable development:

• Kenya: Agriculture and Climate Change Adaptation Planning in Kenya
• Uganda: Supporting smallholders cope with climate change
• Zambia: Evidence-base needed for national climate change planning
