Kiribati – NAP Global Network

OUR PROGRAM

NAP Global Network’s support for the Kiribati NAP process has taken a two-phase approach. During the first phase in 2017–18, the Network:

Developed the Kiribati Integrated Vulnerability Assessment Database (KIVA DB), a repository of data on national vulnerabilities
Supported community-level vulnerability data collection
Reviewed Kiribati’s NAP, the Joint Implementation Plan on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (KJIP) 2019-2028, highlighting areas for gender inclusion
Provided additional support through the Country Support Hub on communications about the NAP process at the 2018 Mayors General Meeting.

Building on the successful partnership between the Office of Te Beretitenti, Kiribati’s President, and the NAP Global Network in 2017–18, the second phase commencing 2019 will focus on:

Supporting the use of the KIVA DB
Finalizing the dissemination of the KJIP
Reporting on and evaluating the KJIP

NAP Approach

The vision of the nine-year KJIP (2019–2028) is: “I-Kiribati unique culture, heritage and identity are upheld and safeguarded through enhanced resilience and sustainable development.”
The goal of the KJIP is to increase resilience through sustainable climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction using a “whole-of-country” approach.
The KJIP includes:
- 12 main strategies, each of which has one or more key actions, sub-actions, outcomes and performance indicators.
- All strategies and actions in the KJIP are inclusive of vulnerable groups, considering gender, youth and children, the elderly and people with disabilities.

Priority Sectors

Agriculture, education, fisheries, health, infrastructure and spatial planning, tourism and water

Status

The revised KJIP has been approved and the gender aspect adopted, and the KIVA Database was populated and made available online.
