National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage.
Considering that the first National communication has been elaborated and officially presented, this National Action Plan for Adaptation to Climate Changes (NAPA) has allowed to articulate the actions proposed in this communication with necessary and urgent measures so that the country would be able to adapt to adverse effect of the climate changes, according to other plans and programs already elaborated, in view to reduce poverty and reach the objectives of millennium.
