Expected results (outcomes and impacts)
|
-
A process is established in the LDCs to underpin the formulation and implementation of NAPs and is functioning smoothly and contributing to the iterative identification of adaptation needs and options and supporting the successful implementation of adaptation actions
-
The process results in implementation of the essential functions of the NAP process to ensure successful adaptation
-
The LDCs are successfully supported to formulated quality NAPs by 2018 and at the latest by 2020
-
The LDCs are implementing priority adaptation needs identified in the NAPs with funding from the GCF and other sources
-
The LDCs have achieved demonstrable results towards building adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change
-
Adaptation strategies and actions are well integrated with national development efforts including in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
