International Consultancy: Final Evaluation: Advancing PNG’s NAP
English
The project document for the UNDP-supported GCF-financed project “Advancing Papua New Guinea’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for investment planning in four critical climate-sensitive sectors” was signed on 27 February 2020 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Government of Papua New Guinea through the Climate Change Development Authority (CCDA). The project Inception Meeting kicked off in July 2020 and is currently in its last year of implementation.
The project has suffered delays when the state of emergency was enacted by the Government of Papua New Guinea on 23 March 2020 in response to the global COVID – 19 pandemic and detection of the first case in country.
The project is being implemented by UNDP in partnership with the Climate Change Development Authority representing the Government of Papua New Guinea. The project aims to advance effective adaptation planning in PNG with an overall objective to strengthen institutional and technical capacities for iterative development of NAP and effective integration of CCA into national and sub-national planning and budgeting processes.
