sNAPshot | Strategic Communications for National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Processes

This policy brief from the International Institute for Sustainable Development introduces the role of strategic communications in supporting National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes, emphasizing the need for tailored messaging to improve government engagement with citizens and stakeholders.

• Effective National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes require clear and purposeful communication with stakeholders both inside and outside of government.
• A strategic communications approach—utilizing tailored key messages and appropriate channels for priority audiences—can enhance government engagement with citizens. This ensures citizen views are included in prioritized adaptation actions and involves stakeholders in implementation and monitoring and evaluation (M&E).
