Background

This regional thematic dialogue at the 2023 Africa Climate Week, is the first event in a new series of regional dialogues on “Building capacities for national adaptation plan (NAP) implementation strategies”, organized by the Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB) during the 2023 Regional Climate Weeks. The event will, inter alia, explore region-specific capacity gaps and needs related to the formulation of effective NAP implementation strategies and showcase regional case studies and good practices related to capacity-building efforts focused on supporting the development of NAP implementation strategies.  

The PCCB regional thematic dialogue will harness the unique opportunity presented by the Africa Climate Summit held in parallel with Africa Climate Week, to enhance the visibility and significance of capacity-building for NAPs, fostering deeper engagement from a broader audience and maximizing the collective impact on advancing climate resilience efforts in the Africa region.

This regional thematic dialogue aims to:   

• Identify region-specific capacity gaps and needs related to the formulation of effective NAP implementation strategies as well as practical solutions to bridge these gaps; 

• Showcase regional case studies and good practices from countries that have or are in the process of formulating and designing NAP implementation strategies, while also presenting relevant tools for developing NAP implementation strategies;
