2 National Adaptation Programme of Action The development of NAPAs NAPAs are an initiative agreed under the UNFCCC, at its COP in They aim to build adaptive capacity in the most vulnerable countries, the LDCs. The main objective of the NAPAs is to serve as a direct channel whereby the LDCs may communicate their urgent and immediate adaptation needs. The NAPA document should also identify links to more long-term strategy frameworks, such as MEAs, PRSPs and others. An LDC Expert Group (LEG), developed under the UNFCCC, has provided guidance and advice on the preparation of the NAPAs. Sudan NAPA The NAPA process in Sudan represents the collective efforts of government agencies, rural households, CBOs and NGOs. It has been strongly endorsed by the Council of Ministers, and a Council of Ministers Decree signed by the President of the State was subsequently issued on 25 th March 2007 in support of its conclusions. The most important conclusion reached was the need to see the NAPA preparation as a process and not as an end product.

3 NAPA projects related to WR Improving sustainable agric. practices under increasing heat stress. Enhancing the resilience of water stressed agric. Systems thro agroforestry. Reducing vulnerability of rangelands in N. Butana to C. Variability. Development of Gardoud lands for insurance of food security and improvement of coping capacity. Fodder production for livelihood improvement and avoidance of conflict over resources. Development of Geraih Alserha for adaptation to climate induced changed and poverty reduction. Enhancing resilience to rainfall variability through rangeland rehabilitation and WH. Sudd s lake for reduction of vulnerability of food security caused by recent frequent flooding. Reduction of vulnerability to drinking water shortages due to CC through construction of stony and earthy sudd around Gedarif town. Rehabilitation of hafeers for increasing coping capacity to drought and reduction of human and animals vul. to drinking water shortage and pollution

4 NAPA Follow Up Projects 1st Project: Implementing NAPA Priority Interventions to Build Resilience in the Agriculture and Water Sectors to the Adverse Impacts of Climate Change in Sudan. Funding Agency: LDCF Project objective: To implement an urgent set of adaptation-focused measures that will minimize and reverse the food insecurity of small-scale farmers and pastoralists, thereby reducing vulnerability of rural communities resulting to climate change, including variability. 2 nd Project: Implementing Priority Adaptation Measures to Build Resilience of rain fed farmer and pastoral communities of Sudan, especially women headed households to the Adverse Impacts of Climate Change. Funding Agency: DFATD The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) Project objective: To achieve food security and enhance coping capacity for 3500 families of small scale farmers and pastoralist with at least 50% of women headed households.

5 Climate Change Adaptation Project

6 Gedarif State Agriculture: WH: Provision of 20 irrigation pumps and other inputs and cultivation of 100 fed of vegetable crops (120 farmers and 200 labourers). WH: Establishment of a village nursery and production of 20,000 of tree seedlings + broadcasting. All: 1200 fed were prepared using different WH techniques (deep ploughing + terraces). The yield increased by 4.7 and 3.3 folds for sorghum and sesame respectively (480 farmers).

7 Gedarif State Agriculture: All: establishment/ rehab of a women collective farm at each village benefitting (120 women) using solar pumping of ground water. Support of home gardens (27 HHDs ). Planting of 156 fruit tree seedlings at the WCF. Introduction of organic agric., apiculture (5 units), the drip irrigation system.

8 Water Supply: North Kordofan Drilling of 4 wells and rehab of other 4 well with an average yield of 3000 gal/ hr/ well benefiting 7 villages. 5 wells were equipped with solar pumps. Availability of water contributed to: Establishment of 7 vegetable farms one in each village. Introduction of new housing techniques.

9 Animal Production: North Kordofan Improvement of goat milk production (0.17 l/ day to 1.7 l/ day). Sheep fattening with a weight gain of 11 kg in 45 days. Increment of twin incidence from 1.5% to 21%. Establishment of one poultry farm (150 hen) to benefit 56 women headed HHD. Goat restocking (290 animal to 145 family). Veterinary drug revolving fund. 4 feed centres.

10 North Kordofan Horticulture: Established of 7 irrigated women Jobrakas (one per village) with an average acreage of 4 fed. Planting of 1090 improved fruit tree seedlings. Cultivation of 2.7 ton of vegetable seeds. Introduction of the IPM techniques. Construction of 3 composting basins.

11 North Kordofan Natural resources and alternative energy: Distribution of 440 butane gas cylinders (revolving fund). Establishment of 5 community nurseries ( 23,000 seedlings were produced). Sand dune stabilization of 90 fed (51965 seedlings were used) + village afforestation.

12 South Darfur Agriculture and water harvesting: Treatment and distribution of improved seeds (5773 farmers). Distribution of 300 improved animal drawn plough on revolving fund basis. Preparation of 1547 fed (700 farmers) (including demo farms) using different WH and tillage practices fed were cultivated using traditional ploughing methods and improved seeds. Distribution of 130 kg of improved vegetable seeds (80 rain fed and 50 irrigation) for the benefit of 824 farmers.

13 Impact of improved production packages In 2015 (rain fall mm) the combination of WH + chiseling resulted in the following: Increment in crop productivity by 8.5 folds Increment of dry matter productivity (animal feed) by 10 times as compared to natural rangelands. Fodder (WH + Chiseling) =1.4 ton, chiseling = 0.4 ton and traditional = 0.1 ton In 2016 (rain fall 419 mm) WH + Chiseling = 1325 kg Chiseling = 841 kg Traditional Plough = 419 kg 2016 fodder Chiseling + WH = 1.5 ton Chiseling = 1 ton Traditional = 0.17 ton

14 South Darfur Forestry and range improvement Renewable Energy: ToT in ISP (40 participants). Training of 750 women in ISP. Productivity clitoria and cow pea increased by 4 and 5 times respectively. Use of improved stove reduced fire wood consumption by 50%. Production and distribution 35,000 of forest and fruit tree seedlings beneficiary survival rate 65%.

15 South Darfur Animal Production: Dsitribution of 21 improved bred goat males (986 offspring). Increment of milk production from 1.5 lb/day to 3.5 lb/day. Body weight gain at the age of 6 month (9 kg -17 kg) + supp feed Introduction of improve bred hen males ( Difference in price age of 6 month is 100% (50 SDG SDG.

16 River Nile Agriculture and Forestry: Distribution of 28 irrigation units. Establishment of 55 shelterbelts. Distribution of 729 butane gas units (revolving fund) + 15 gas ovens. Policed cases in the violation of the Forestry Act reduced by 40% in the project area.

17 River Nile Agriculture and Forestry WE: Establishment of a 5 fed women collective farm equipped with an irrigation unit. All: 34 demo farms: Tremendous improvement in the productivity: Faba beans: from 405 kg to 990 kg. Broad beans: from 660 kg to 1265 kg

18 River Nile Animal protection: Treatment and vaccination of 8624 and 1811 farm animals respectively. Distribution of 30 wooden molds for cheese production. Introduction of 108 improved bred goat males. Distribution of pesticide application pumps ( ).

19 Lessons Learnt Community orientation and capacity building in the participatory approach is of prime importance. Special concern should be given to establishment and registration of CBOs e.g. VDCs and WDCs. introduction of energy alternatives e.g. butane gas units and improved stoves contributed to the protection of the environment e.g. reduction of fire wood consumption by 50% in South Darfur State (IS) and reduction of the violations to the Forestry Act by 40% in the River Nile State (LPG). In addition to that A.E. saved women s time and effort and hence contributed to the success of the intervention. Provision of basic services and infrastructure including marketing facilities will boost the coping capacities. Sustainability of revolving funds is a real challenge. Coordination between the different project partners (federal, state and UNDP) contributed to the success of the project. Proper PCM is of crucial importance to ensure sustainability.
