Facilitación del aprendizaje entre pares con los encargados de formular las políticas de adaptación: enfoques y observaciones de los Foros de Temas Específicos de la Red Global del PNAD

The document outlines a framework for facilitating peer learning among adaptation policy-makers to move away from passive, presentation-heavy meetings toward interactive knowledge exchange. It details seven core planning principles—purpose, context, people, power, place, process, and monitoring—and provides specific methodologies for technical, relational, and reflective interaction, such as 'Knowledge Clinics' and 'Participatory Timelines'. These methods were tested across seven Thematic Issue Forums involving government representatives from 23 countries to accelerate the development and implementation of National Adaptation Plans.

• The NAP Global Network utilizes Thematic Issue Forums (TIFs) based on three interaction pillars: technical (expert input), relational (peer experience sharing), and reflective (analyzing national application).
• Effective event planning for adaptation policy-makers requires addressing power dynamics to prevent sessions from being dominated by those in higher institutional hierarchies, suggesting the use of small groups, drawing, or theater to encourage participation from those with less power.
• The guide recommends a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) approach that goes beyond post-event surveys to include baseline setting before the event, rapid evaluations during the event, and follow-up interviews 2 to 3 months later to verify the implementation of planned actions.
• Specific facilitation techniques are proposed to replace traditional PowerPoint presentations, including 'Knowledge Clinics' where a 'patient' presents a real problem to a group of 'doctors' for advice, and 'Knowledge Fairs' where participants exhibit projects via booths.
• The 'cohort' approach, where teams of three representatives from each country attend complementary forums annually, helps build a community of trust and ongoing peer support for NAP processes.
• Structured reflection, such as the use of manuals and self-assessments completed in small groups of compatriots, is used to translate forum learnings into concrete national actions.
