OUR PROGRAM
The NAP Global Network’s support for Somalia’s NAP process started in October 2021. We have been working with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Office of the Prime Minister, on developing monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) strategies and carrying out vulnerability assessments for the livestock and fisheries sectors. The long-term goal is to strengthen the MEL system to track the progress of the adaptation policies, increasing transparency and accountability for climate change adaptation actions at all levels.
