05 – 07 April 2016, FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy

As part of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme, FAO and UNDP organized a workshop to develop a common understanding of the NAP process in relation to the agriculture sectors (including forestry and fisheries) and to provide eight partner countries with training and knowledge exchange opportunities to advance country-level activities and work plans. Topics relevant to the programme such as developing roadmaps, skills development on adaptation sensitive planning, budgeting and impact assessment were discussed. Trainings on the methodologies of risk and vulnerability assessments, economics of adaptation and impact assessments on the agriculture sectors were carried out.

• Day 1: Eight countries discuss how to integrate agriculture in their National Adaptation Plans
  
• Day 2: Building an evidence base and leveraging support: Day 2 of the National Adaptation Plans workshop
  
• Day 3: NAP guidelines and implementing work plans: Wrapping up the last day

• Enhance and develop a common understanding of the NAP process and the linkages between food security, agriculture and climate change adaptation;
• Identify specific technical, institutional and financial needs to support the integration of medium- and long- term climate change adaptation into existing national and sub-national planning and processes related to the agricultural sector;
• Define entry points for the integration of climate- resilient agriculture in national planning;
• Present the progress and share lessons learnt of the NAP Process in each participating country and advance national workplans; and
• Review and receive comments on a draft of the Agriculture Supplement to the NAP Technical Guidelines.

Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans" is a FAO-UNDP programme funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) to support least developed countries (LDCs) and developing countries to identify and integrate climate adaptation measures in the agriculture sectors (crop, livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture) into relevant national planning and budgeting through the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process.
