Status of assistance to Malawi for their NAP process:

• The NAP GSP team is providing feedback in June 2015 to a proposed stock-taking exercise for the NAP process to be undertaken by the government in cooperation with UNDP Malawi.
• A Malawi National Adaptation Plan Training Workshop took place from 3 to 5 September 2014 at the Livingstonia Beach Hotel, Salima, Malawi. The workshop was led by the Government of Malawi and organised by the national NAP team with support from the National Climate Change Programme, UNDP Country Office and GWP. Technical support was provided by NAP-GSP, UNDP and GIZ. The Malawi NAP team requested NAP-GSP and partner agencies to provide experts in sectors to participate as resource people in the workshop and to remain engaged in the whole processs.
• The Malawi NAP team is in the process of consolidating the NAP road map that has emerged from the work-shop. The main support needs include a stock-taking of existing initiatives, a gap analysis, a comprehensive vulnerability analysis, climate and socio-economic scenarios, and identifying medium and long term adaptation options in priority sectors. Priority sectors include agriculture, water resources, health, infrastructure and physical planning, transport, human settlements, disaster risk management, forestry, wild life and gender.
