Date: 27 February to 3 March 2017 

Venue: Lilongwe, Malawi

The Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) is conducting regional training workshops on national adaptation plans (NAPs) as part of its work programme for 2016–2017. The training workshops are designed to support countries to advance in the formulation and implementation of NAPs. The workshops are designed and tailored for each region through the support  of the NAP technical working group.

Objectives of the workshop

  1. To support the countries in designing assessments of climate risk and vulnerability leading to the identification of adaptation priorities (Element B, Preparatory elements of the NAP guidelines);

  2. To provide technical guidance and support to the countries on the design of implementation of NAPs taking into account modalities for accessing financing under GCF, as well as other climate change funding channels (Element C of the NAP guidelines);

  3. To enhance the capacity of the countries in accessing the GCF funding for the formulation of NAPs;

  4. To provide a platform for countries to share experiences and lessons learned and to promote best practices when formulating and implementing NAPs;

  5. To promote South-South and regional collaboration on NAPs.
