Le début de l’intégration verticale : l’établissement de liens entre les processus nationaux et infranationaux de planification de l’adaptation

The document defines vertical integration as the process of linking national and sub-national adaptation planning to ensure that climate considerations are integrated across all levels of government. It identifies three essential factors for success: institutional arrangements, information sharing, and capacity building. The text emphasizes that decentralization provides a critical foundation for this integration by delegating power and resources to the local level, where climate risks are most localized. It argues that an effective NAP process requires a mix of top-down and bottom-up approaches, necessitating collaboration between national coordinators, sub-national authorities, and local communities.

• Vertical integration in the NAP process is an iterative cycle covering three main dimensions: planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). In planning, it ensures both levels rely on reliable information and engage in dialogue; in implementation, it facilitates coordination and sub-national access to resources; and in M&E, it ensures sub-national results inform national learning and vice versa.
• Three core factors are identified as essential for enabling vertical integration within the NAP process: institutional arrangements, the sharing of information, and the strengthening of capacities.
• Decentralization serves as a significant foundation for vertical integration by applying the principle of subsidiarity, which moves decision-making and resource allocation to the lowest appropriate administrative level. This is particularly relevant because climate risks, such as floods and droughts, are localized in nature.
• Effective vertical integration typically requires a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches, where national NAP coordinators collaborate with sub-national authorities, local organizations, and communities to ensure the process is inclusive and participatory.
