Presented by: Katia Marzall 3.1 Technical guidance on NAPs The session will take the participants through the technical guidance for NAPs, including: NAP guidelines, guiding principles for adaptation under the Convention, and subsequent products developed by the LEG such as the sample NAP process. It will further look detailed aspects on undertaking assessments by going through best available methods and tools for assessing for assessing crop production as an example. Countries will further provide practical experiences in applying the guidance in the formulation of their NAPs.

2. What is the best available tool… for you?
• Why is there a concern to develop a NAP?
The final objective you have with your
NAP/Agriculture will define the information you need,
hence, the best tool available … for you.

13. In short:
• There are several methods available, some are crop specific, or
focused in one production system, or on a region, or on specific
problems …;
• There are several possible processes to follow, involving different
actors (researchers, farmers, field technicians, governmental
officers, private sector…), methodologies, scale…
• The best tool/method is the one suited to respond to the
demands of your NAP planning and implementing, and is
available to you
• It is a complex and costly process
there are support and funding agencies to help the specific needs to
develop your NAP
• so: why are you developing a NAP for the agricultural sector?
