Coordinating Climate-Resilient Development
Linking national and sub-national adaptation: Vertical integration in practice
Angie DazéNAP Global Network Secretariat
In the context of the NAP process, vertical integration is:
The process of creating intentional and strategic linkages between national and sub-national adaptation planning, implementation and monitoring & evaluation (M&E)
What is vertical integration?
• UNFCCC decisions call for engagement of sub-national actors
• Fundamental to key principles: participation, transparency, gender responsiveness, consideration of vulnerable groups, communities and ecosystems
• Much of the implementation of adaptation will occur at sub-national levels
• Locally-driven approaches to adaptation have been shown to be effective
Why vertical integration?
The process of vertical integration is:• Iterative• Unique to the country context
How vertical integration occurs depends on:• Institutional structures for adaptation• Progress on decentralization of sectoral
and development planning• Capacity at national and sub-national
levels
The vertical integration process
Vertical integration outcomes
Example: Vertical integration in planning
Country Example:Ethiopia
• Ethiopia’s NAP document identifies 18 adaptation options at the national level
• Guiding principles include participation, stakeholder empowerment and equitable implementation
• Two track approach for engaging sub-national stakeholders:• Regional workshops held to raise awareness of the
NAP, identify priorities among the adaptation options, build capacity of sub-national stakeholders on adaptation
• Guidelines for regional and district-level planning updated to align with the NAP
• Results are informing the NAP implementation roadmap, which is currently under development
• GCF NAP readiness activities will build on these efforts
Country Example:Kazakhstan
• In launching its NAP process, Kazahkstan prioritized sub-national engagement
• Identified territorial development program (TDP) as a key entry point for integrating climate change adaptation in sub-national planning
• Key challenges:• Climate change not currently considered in
planning process• Institutional arrangements: different leadership
for climate action and territorial development• Access to information and capacities at sub-
national levels
• Proposed adjustments to TDP:• Sector-based approach, looking at climate-
related opportunities and threats• New climate-related indicators to be included in
TDP guidelines
Country Example:Senegal
• Sector-based approach to adaptation planning, focusing on 10 priority sectors
• Oversight of the NAP process by National Committee on Climate Change, a multi-stakeholder platform
• Sub-national engagement coordinated through 14 Regional Committees on Climate Change
• Local adaptation plans developed through participatory processes have been synthesized to inform planning at the national level
• Lessons:• Build on what has already been done at the local
level• Critical role of local organizations in adaptation
planning• Need to create functional links between different
levels of planning
