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 Djibouti.

####Climate Related Hazards####

* Flooding (flash)
* Changes in river morphology/loss of water bodies
* Drought and low flows

####Main Human Vulnerabilities and Livelihood Impacts####

* Reduced agricultural production
* Reduced fishery productivity
* Water shortage and/or groundwater depletion
* Flooding
* Increased disease and/or other health problems
* Infrastructure damage
* Food security
* Loss of biodiversity

####Priority Adaptation Projects####

1. Réduction des risques liés au changement climatique pour les systèmes de production des zones côtières à travers une gestion intégrée, adaptée et participative des organizations communautaires
2. Promouvoir le développement de la mise en défens dans des périmètres forestiers à Day et à Mabla couplé à l’introduction de fours améliorés
3. Promouvoir des actions adaptées d’aménagement et de gestion des eaux de surfaces
4. Amélioration de la gestion des parcours pour réduire les risques associés à l’élevage extensif de tradition
5. Promotion des exploitations d’agro élevage intégré
6. Promouvoir la régénération des pâturages endogènes des zones de DODA et GRAND BARA
7. Restauration des aires marines protégées à travers la protection des coraux et la régénération de la mangrove des zones côtières
8. Développement de technologies d’exhaure propres
9. Promotion des techniques agricoles et d’irrigation adaptées pour lutter contre la salinité dans les périmètres agricoles
10. Protection des berges et restauration des terres degrades d’agriculture
11. Promouvoir des mesures adaptées de protection des ouvrages d’alimentation en eau de la ville de Djibouti

Project Components:

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 Djibouti;
* To facilitate capacity building for the preparation of initial national communications, and addressing urgent and immediate adaptation needs.

Expected Outputs:

The key output of this activity will be the establishment of the NAPA National Network and the Project Management Team (PMT).
