sNAPshot | Developing Capacity for Subnational Adaptation Action in the Republic of the Sudan

This policy brief describes Sudan's approach to climate change adaptation, highlighting its early submission of a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) to the UNFCCC and its specific focus on 'vertical integration' by empowering state governments to lead subnational adaptation actions.

• The Republic of the Sudan is highly vulnerable to climate change and was among the first developing nations to submit a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) document to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
• A distinctive feature of Sudan's NAP is its focus on subnational adaptation action led by state governments, serving as an example of vertical integration. Vertical integration is defined as the creation of strategic and intentional linkages across national and subnational levels regarding adaptation planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E).
