Global - Technical Assistance to Francophone LDCs to Implement the UNFCCC8/CP8 Decision

  • Project details

  • Implementing Agency:
    UNDP
    Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
    UNITAR
    Summary:

    Project Rationale and Objectives _(as outlined in the Project Document of 25 July 2003)_ The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) represent the poorest and weakest segment of the international community. The economic and social development of these countries represents a major challenge because of a series of vulnerabilities and constraints, such as limited human, institutions and productive LDCs themselves, as well as for their development partners.

    Project Components:

    To train Francophone NAPA teams to produce NAPAs of good quality.

    Expected Outputs:

    21 Country teams are adequately trained to carry out their NAPA work. The three key outcomes are: * Informed representatives of the Francophone LDCs delegations and increased awareness about the application of the NAPA guidelines from a substantive point of view; * Increased participatory discussion among the various players involved and their proactive commitment to the NAPA creation process. * Increased understanding of Francophone LDCs UNFCCC Focal Points about successful GEF NAPA projects implementation/process.
