1 | Recommendation1. To FAO and UNDP. Country specific results frameworks. . |
2 | Recommendation 2. To FAO and UNDP. Results Based Management. Future programs should apply results-based management approach where activities and programme products are treated as a means to an end; and not the achievement of the desired change. This requires the development of an M&E framework, plan and data collection tools that articulate instrumental and transformational changes rather than processes. This will enable future programmes not to miss the opportunities to report on transformative changes that can be directly attributed to the programme’s interventions and efforts. |
3 | Recommendation 3. To FAO and UNDP. Needs assessment for target countries. |
4 | Recommendation 4. To FAO and UNDP country offices. Advocating for program uptake. Continue lobbing with the relevant government partners to adopt programme outcome in their system, e.g. including of indicators in M&E system of agriculture ministry, inclusion of climate change in evaluation and planning format of the planning commissions, adopting vulnerability assessment in regular activities of the ministry, |
5 | Recommendation 5. To FAO and UNDP. Resource mobilization. Mobilise more financial support to scaling up lessons learned from NAP-Ag and also move further to support pilot adaptation options identified by the programme that can contribute to |
6 | Recommendation 6. To FAO and UNDP country offices. Private sector involvement. |
7 | Recommendation 7. To FAO and UNDP. Implementation resources. NAP-Ag programme outcomes mainly addressed the formulation of adaptation planning instruments in countries; however, real implementation of this roadmaps and planning instruments was not considered (including public expenses, human resources, institutional arrangements, technology, among others). In future programmes, the implementation process in countries need to be identified and considered in the design of such instruments. Also, for the sustainability of territorial adaptation actions (with private sector, farmers), follow-up/guidance by FAO and UNDP is recommended in support of the governments through existing focal points such as Ministries of Agriculture or Ministries of Environment. |
8 | Recommendation 8. To FAO and UNDP. To strengthen gender mainstreaming in adaptation options, future programming should continue to promote gender and youth specific and inclusive adaptation options and push for inclusion of aspects that guarantee access to rights and opportunities. These can include, e.g., awareness programme for policy makers and planning personals, leadership development for women and youth and involvement of private sector and financial institutions, aiming to increase access to funding for climate and gender friendly agriculture practices and technology and access to markets; inclusion of Ministries whose mandates incudes gender and/or of other government organs and multi-sector stakeholder in national and subnational levels (including members of parliament). Evidence-based adaptation options that include extreme vulnerable groups’ needs should also be included. |
