Support for Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation into Sectoral Planning in Lao PDR

About this project

In the process of revising Nationally Determined Contribution of Lao PDR , it was found very difficult to measure the progress on the adaptation component due to absence of sectoral adaptation plan and monitoring indicators in many key sectors. The gaps, barriers and needs of the country to drive and achieve climate change adaptation in the revised NDC are grouped into three broad areas: (i) institutional capacity and coordination including weak institutional and technical capacity to mainstream climate change into strategies and plans or translate them into action able measures; (ii) information including absence of sectoral action plans and indicators in most key sectors; and (iii) adaptation financing including lack of diversified sources of long-term financing for adaptation. Thus, this readiness grant will develop sectoral adaptation plans for key vulnerable sectors of Lao PDR and concept notes for priority adaptation project to access GCF funding. To ensure an inclusive planning process and effective and sustained implementation of the sectoral adaptation action plans, this readiness grant will also support the establishment and initial functioning of gender-balanced sectoral adaptation teams.
