Sudan: National adaptation plan 2016

The National Adaptation plan (NAP) in Sudan aims to enhance the country's resilience to climate change by identifying and addressing medium- and long-term adaptation needs. The plan focuses on integrating climate adaptation into national development planning. Strengthening institutional capacity and promoting sustainable practices across vulnerable sectors such as agriculture, water resources, health and disaster risk management.

The NAP seeks to build capacity among Sudanese institutions in order to promote the development of climate change institutional arrangements for effective implementation of adaptation programmes and activities. It also seeks to broaden the response to climate change to encompass institutional, economic, planning, and analytical dimensions of climate risk managementin order to facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation into new and existing policies, programs and activities, within all relevant sectors and at different levels. Finally, it continues and enhances existing efforts to identify and prioritize potential adaptation initiatives at the regional level, as initially launched during the previous national adaptation process.
