Systemic Capacities (3 dimensions)Individual dimension areas:Awareness / Understanding, Knowledge/ Skills / Attitudes
> Understanding importance of agriculture within NAPs> Adaptation sensitive planning skills
Organizational dimension areas:functioning and performance of organizations and institutions including:
Coordination mechanisms / Mandates / Terms of References / Information, Data and Knowledge sharing/ Budget and Funding
> national cross-sectoral coordination, planning and budgeting mechanisms between relevant NAPs Ministries
Enabling environment areas: contextin which individuals and organizations exist including:Governance / institutional linkages / Multi-Stakeholder processes / implicit and explicit rules / laws and policies
> Inclusive stakeholder processes for NAPs formulation and implementation

support
Existing
capacities
• Whose and what capacities are to be developed?
Participatory Capacity Needs
Assessment
• Enhance country ownership, leadership and stakeholder commitment to enhance capacities
• Strategic and targeted
interventions (starting from existing capacities)
• Baseline to monitor progress across all CD dimensions
Why assess capacities comprehensively and with broad participation?
Institutional Capacity Assessment Process for NAPs (for reflection)

Effective CD for Integrating Agriculture into NAPs and Implementation means…..
Looking at the “what” and the “how” to enhance capacities

capacitiesApril 6th Break Out Session on “Institutional CD”Patrick Kalas, FAO CD Expert, Julie Teng, UNDP
Jointly assessing, designing, implementing and tracking sustainable CD activities
Anchoring in Development effectiveness principles (Country Ownership, Leadership)
http://www.fao.org/capacity-development/en/
Focusing on (a) Organizational / institutional capacities and (b) knowledge and skills enhancement (technical and functional)
The group will explore………….
• …………..initial institutional CD needs and actionable recommendations for improvement
• ……………practical steps, methods and tools on effective institutional CD (e.g. capacity assessment approach) for sharpening country work plans
Ideas for Country Work Plan Sharpening (for reflection)
• Apply “good learning practices” in training and learning activities (i.e. conduct a learning needs assessment, participants selection and follow-up activities to learning event)?
-> See FAO’s Resource on Effective Learning http://www.fao.org/3/a-i2532e.pdf
Institutional CD (Outcome 2- “Roadmaps”)
Training & Learning (Outcome 1- “Technical Capacity”)
• Include budgeted organizational / institutional stakeholder capacity assessment?
• Sharpen Terms of Reference for national facilitators?
-> “What” and “How” (i.e. process) matters in CD……….

UNDP’s approach to capacity development
3 levels of capacities:• Individual• Organisation• Enabling Environment
2 types of capacities:• Functional• Technical
A programmatic approach isnecessary!
Julie Teng, UNDP
Individual Capacity development in the NAP-GSP & NAP Ag.
• Central to the Programmes
• Development of tools and approaches for individual capacitydevelopment to advance the NAP at country level
– GIZ-UNDP-UNITAR Country-level training modules
– UNITAR Skills Assessment for NAP
– Specialised trainings (eg economics of adaptation)
