This document summarizes the experiences of Malawi and Nepal in developing their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). In Malawi, they have completed the first step of the NAP process and some of step two, including developing a NAP roadmap and stocktaking report. Key milestones include launching the process in 2014 and establishing structures for development. Civil society has played an important role by providing resources, expertise, and advocating for vulnerable groups. However, challenges remain around inadequate financing and technical capacity. In Nepal, the NAP process aims to reduce vulnerability and build resilience through integration into relevant policies and plans. It utilizes existing coordination mechanisms and promotes multi-stakeholder participation. Key elements of the process

Our Role Resource persons – shared VA Study reports to support development of Stock-taking report and others Key civil society expectations from NAP process defined Participatory assessments of community vulnerabilities and capabilities revised, updated and documented Technical expertise – part of the CORE Team and sectoral team and off backstopping Financial resources – assisting in convening CORE Team meetings and proposal development meetings National Adaptation Planning (NAP) process adopts and implements the priorities and options set by vulnerable groups – Advocacy Goal
- 6. Challenges Inadequate finances – Attempts have been made to draft proposal to GEF and GCF to support the process Lack of technical capacity to complete some actions – key experts have been supported to attend workshops on NAP process have been organized nationally and internationally - LEG NAP workshop and NAP Global Network workshops CSOs have also been part of these
- 7. Further required actions Financial support for CORE Team and sectoral teams to revisit the road map and roll it out Robust technical support to the teams to carry out and finalise some technical studies and processes in time Wider consultations when completing various elements of the process

National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Objectives of the NAP Process To reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, by building adaptive capacity and resilience; and To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a coherent manner, into relevant new and existing policies, programmes and activities, in particular development planning processes and strategies, within all relevant sectors and at different levels, as appropriate.
- 11. NAP Formulation Approach Establishing working groups to coordinate multi-stakeholder thematic areas Utilising existing coordination mechanisms; Building capacity and enhancing understanding on CCA; Building ownership and avoiding duplications on efforts; Promoting multi-stakeholder participation; Ensuring gender-sensitivity and inclusiveness; 'LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND' Generating, utilising and sharing knowledge and good practices; Adopting 'development first' with integration of adaptation actions; Aligning with national policies and linking with recent initiatives (DRR and SDGs); and Synergising ecosystem-based and community-based adaptations.
