It also includes references to the NAP Global Support Programme for the LDCs and the NAP Global Network. It is important to note that financial and technical support and capacity building can also be explored from various organizations including United Nations organizations, specialized agencies and other relevant organizations, bilateral and multilateral agencies. The paper is intended to provide information to various entities on how the process to formulate and implement NAPs can be supported in the LDCs.
