Outlines 1. APAN capacity building cmpnent and activities in Asia Pacific Develping capacity f key training institutins Develping capacity f natinal/sub natinal pllicy makers Other capacity building activities 2. Plan fr capacity building in Central Asia: Identificatin f capacity gaps and challenges Identificatin f capacity develpment needs Actin plan t address the identified capacity needs 3. Open discussin 2
1. APAN Capacity Building Develping capacity f key training institutins APN funded prject: Scientific capacity develpment f trainers and plicy makers fr climate change adaptatin planning in the Asia and Pacific Targeted cuntries: Bangladesh, Cambdia, La PDR, Mnglia, Nepal Sectr: Agriculture and water related t agriculture Objectives: T undertake appraisal f training needs in terms f knwledge and skill areas fr effective adaptatin (including the needs f persnnel and gaps in training prgrams) T design training mdules fr imparting knwledge and skills fr effective adaptatin (in plicy making prcess) Activities: 1 st training needs assessment (TNA) meeting: January 31, 2011 in Bangkk 2 nd TNA meeting: March 11, 2011 in Bangkk 3 rd meeting: Training mdules design wrkshp: August 10 12, 2011 in Bangkk 3

Develping capacity f natinal/sub natinal decisin makers Reginal Training n Crss Sectral Climate Change Adaptatin Planning Time: Octber 25 26, 2011 in Bangkk (back t back with Adaptatin Frum 2011) Organizers: Asia Pacific Adaptatin Netwrk (APAN) Krea Envirnment Institute (KEI) Krea Adaptatin Center fr Climate Change (KACCC) United Natins Envirnment Prgramme Reginal Office fr Asia and the Pacific (UNEP ROAP) Overall bjective: T imprve the capacity f natinal and sub natinal plicy makers in their adaptatin planning fr climate change. Gegraphical pririty: 12 cuntries: SA: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka; SEA: Cambdia, Indnesia, La PDR, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam; East and Central Asia: Mnglia 5
Other capacity building activities Tgether with Reginal Climate Change Adaptatin Knwledge Platfrm (AKP), APAN crganized: Suth Asia Media Wrkshp n Adaptatin t Climate Change (Nepal, May 18 20, 2011) Climate Change Adaptatin Knwledge Management Wrkshp: Issues n Climate Change Adaptatin (Mnglia, May 26 27, 2011) Media and Cmmunity Scenari Exercise Wrkshp: Quy Nhn in 2050 Visining Develpment Optins in the cntext f Climate Change (Vietnam, July 13 15, 2011) 6
2. Plan fr Capacity Building in Central Asia Identificatin f capacity gaps and challenges at sub reginal and natin levels, in: Institutinal supprt: plicy framewrk fr capacity building in general and specifically fr climate change adaptatin (CCA) any cnstraint r limitatin? Existing human resurces: number f CC experts, their knwledge and skill n CCA, etc. sufficient r nt? Current capacity building prgrammes: educatin, training (inductin/n jb), etc. any prgramme related t CCA? Facilities: CC knwledge center, training facilities, labratries/equipments, etc. fr CCA researches any and hw effective? 7
Identificatin f capacity develpment needs at bth subreginal and natinal levels Identificatin f the sectrs that urgently need capacity building n CCA Types f capacity gaps that need t be imprved r develped: human resurce (persnnel develpment), CCA educatin, training prgrammes, etc. Actin plan t address the identified capacity needs CC awareness raising thrugh educatin, media, etc. Wrkshps/seminars fr sharing CCA knwledge (CCA supprt tls, methds, ), experiences r gd adaptatin practices, CC infrmatin, etc. Training fr different grups f stakehlders (plicy makers, private sectr, practitiners, cmmunities, CSOs, etc.) and at different levels (sub reginal, natinal, etc.) Tpics f training are indentified based n the needs and s n. 8
Pririties f actin in Central Asia: Establish Central Asia CCA Knwledge Management Center (at sub reginal level) Organize Media Wrkshp n CCA fr awareness raising (sub reginal level activity) Build capacity (knwledge and skill) f plicy makers and gvernment fficials n CCA n regular basis (natinal r cuntry level), thrugh: Training f trainers in key natinal level training institutins which are active in training plicy makers and gvernment fficials Imprvement f sectr based training prgrammes: insert r bring CCA knwledge int the existing training prgrammes (inductin and n jb training) Cre activities include: Undertake TNA in Central Asia cuntries: (i) identify specific needs and gaps f trainers, plicy makers and gvernment fficials wrking in mst vulnerable sectr, (ii) desk review n existing training prgrammes in identified sectr (cuntry level activity) Based n training needs, rganized wrkshp t imprve r develp training mdules which include CCA knwledge and skill (sub reginal wrkshp) 9
3. Open discussin fr capacity building activities in Central Asia Guiding questins: 1) Which sectr(s) shuld be priritized? 2) What subject matters shuld be chsen fr training? 3) Which grups f peple shuld be targeted fr capacity building, e.g. training? 4) Hw t build the adaptive capacity f the targeted grups? (e.g. methds, frequency, timeframe, ) 5) Which activities shuld be prpsed at sub reginal level? and Which activities shuld be prpsed at cuntry level?. mre 10
