UNDP would like to invite you to a lunchtime side event Africa Adaptation Programme: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Integrating Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction into Adaptation Date: 1 June 2010, 1 – 2:30 pm Venue: Solar Room, Ministry of Environment, Bonn The Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP) is a three year, $92.1 million project funded by the Government of Japan operating in 20 countries across Africa. It has been designed to support the long-term efforts of targeted countries to further develop their capability to successfully identify, design and implement holistic adaptation and disaster risk reduction programmes that are aligned with national development priorities. In this regard AAP is not a traditional adaptation programme per se – but a strategic initiative, aimed at creating an environment for more informed and capable adaptation decisions and practice in each country. The lunch event will present case studies from two countries participating in the AAP – one focusing on integrated approaches towards climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and the other focusing on the climate change adaptation and gender nexus. Lunch will be served immediately after the event. Kindly R.S.V.P. to Pia Treichel at pia.treichel@undp.org, +1-212-906-6243 by Friday 28th May. Agenda:

• Welcoming Remarks
