application/pdfAlthough climate change has joined the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the top of the international development agenda, national frameworks to reduce poverty and adapt to climate change rarely, if ever, interlink. In particular, the vast majority of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs and National Development Strategies (NDSs) screened for this project ignore climate change issues almost entirely.
There is growing concern that climate change may stymie the modest progress made by many least developed countries (LDCs) in tackling poverty. Under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) are the main policy framework for LDCs to respond to the physical effects of climate change. These have evolved separately from Poverty Reduction Strategies and National Development Strategies (PRSs/NDSs) which now provide the medium-term policy framework through which governments pursue poverty reduction goals (and facilitate access to concessional lending from development partners).
Integrating these frameworks is critical: not only to ensure that scarce resources are used efficiently, but to encourage the alignment and harmonisation of externally-financed programmes with core government priorities. It is important to take stock of the connections between NAPAs, PRSs/NDSs and the strategies of development partners to pave the way for possible improvements in content and process.
This Project Briefing summarises research conducted for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) that contributes to this debate. The project has two main aims: first, to assess the extent to which there are synergies or schisms between NAPAs and PRSs/NDSs; and second, the extent to which adaptation has been incorporated into IFAD country strategies.Although climate change has joined the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the top of the international development agenda, national frameworks to reduce poverty and adapt to climate change rarely, if ever, interlink.
