Executing Agency:
Implementing Agency:
Summary:
National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following summarizes the NAPA for Niger.
Description The objectives of NAPAs are: To serve as simplified and direct channels of communication for information relating to the urgent and immediate needs for adaptation in Niger; To facilitate capacity building for the preparation of initial national communications, and addressing urgent and immediate adaptation needs.
