Workstream 4.4: Project management:
Implementation strategy
LEG regional training workshop on national adaptation plans (NAPs) for African Francophone
developing countries
28 September to 2 October 2015, Niamey, Niger
Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG)
Terms of reference for the parallel workstream groups
Objectives:
a) To understand the workstream concept (using an example
workstream)
b) To produce a sample workstream e.g. for the next 5-10 years
c) To identify key elements and outputs and outcomes for the
sample workstream
d) To produce a national adaptation programme, an M&E system
for it, and a strategy to build institutions to be ready to engage
with main funding of the GCF
e) To develop an implementation strategy for a list of priority
adaptation options (output of appraisal process under
Workstream 3.2
Terms of reference for the parallel workstream group
Mechanics of the parallel group
• Select a facilitator and rapporteur. LEG member will present the objectives
and overview of the particular workstream example, addressing how it fits
in the whole process
• Presentations from the LEG, practical experiences from countries and
organizations during the group work to add examples
• The facilitator will ensure an open and interactive session to arrive at the
outputs of the session
• Assume a list of adaptation priorities is delivered from the appraisal stage
• Produce outputs listed in the objectives by focusing on
a) key elements and outputs and outcomes for the sample workstream
b) A strategy to implement the NAP showing targeted sources of support,
coordinating institutions, etc
Note: Please agree on a schedule to complete the work within the time
allocated
List of adaptation priorities derived from appraisal stage
• <<Sample list of priority adaptation options to be provided>>
Time
Agenda
10:00 – 10:30
Introduction to WS 4: Project development: Planning and
implementation strategies
10:30 – 16:00
Overview presentations and exercises to define
- Design or enhancement of a National CCA programme to fully
embrace the NAP process, building on existing efforts
- Design an M&E system for the outcomes of adaptation
undertakings (to complement an M&E system for the process)
- Develop a plan to build readiness, taking into account the five
building blocks of the readiness programme of the GCF
- Design an implementation strategy for the NAP for a list of priority
adaptation options
16:00 – 17:30
Consolidation of outputs of the workstream
17:30 – 18:00
Re-convene in plenary for wrap-up for the day
• Design a typical National CCA programme that would manage the NAP
process, showing a structure and how it would operate for the next 5 to 10
years
• Show how it would build on existing efforts on CCA as well as relevant
development processes
• Output: Chart of the CCA programme and notes on relevant details
about the operation of such a programme
• Design an M&E system for the outcomes of adaptation undertakings
• Output: Table of key indicators of adaptation (outcome and impact of
the adaptation actions) covering the medium- to long-term
• Design a readiness programme, taking into account the five building blocks of
the readiness programme of the GCF
• Set targets for readiness over the next 5 to 10 years showing progression of
ability
• Output: Table of the proposed readiness programme showing targets
and key indicators of the process that could be added to the PEG M&E
tool
• Design an implementation strategy for the NAP
o Assume an output of appraisal process under Workstream 3.2
o Explore how projects, programmes and/or policies could be implemented
including an ideas on sequencing over time and space
o Consider how the country would access funding including through turning
the NAP into a Strategic Framework for adaptation for the GCF
o Show which institutions would take the lead, etc
• Output: A chart/table showing how implementation would be carried out
over the next 1-10 years
