The reduction of vulnerability will be achieved through implementation of adaptation actions that are packaged into programmes and projects including facilitating the integration of climate change adaptation into existing strategies, policies, legal frameworks, and programmes. The current readiness and preparatory support proposal aims to achieve the objectives through:

• The development and enhancement of the ‘country’s capacity’ to coordinate and promote climate change adaptation (CCA) at systemic, institutional and individual levels; and help poor and climate vulnerable communities in adapting to and building resilience to adverse impacts of climate change;
• The integration of CCA into existing and new policies, strategies, legal frameworks (legislation and regulations) and programmes;
• The establishment and/or strengthening of a system to generate and share knowledge, experience, lessons learned, gaps and needs at international (NAP Expo, side-events during COPs sessions and SBs meetings), national and sub-national levels to advance CCA for the benefit of the poor people and the most vulnerable and ecosystem restoration as well as policy-makers at national and sub-national levels; and
• The development of a strategy to implement, monitor and communicate adaptation benefits at different levels and scale up government efforts in adaptation efforts, and process of regularly updating National Adaptation Plan (NAP).
