CCIKM NAP Web Portal Geodatabase and Climate Finance Tracking Management System

The overarching objective of this project is the development of a web-based knowledge sharing platform on climate change to support the implementation of the National Adaption Plan (NAP) of Bangladesh. In particular, the platform will facilitate long-term adaptation investments and improve national capacities for integrating climate change adaptation into planning, budgeting and financial tracking processes in relevant sectors (agriculture, water, environment, energy, planning, etc.). This project is part of a GCF (Green Climate Fund) funded program to support NAP implementation on a national level.

The following outcomes are targeted by the project:

• Outcome 1: Strengthening institutional coordination and climate change information and knowledge management for medium- to long-term planning
• Outcome 2: Evaluation and prioritization of adaptation options and formulation of a national adaptation plan
• Outcome 3: Development and testing of decision-making tools based on the level of climate change risk by planning and budget departments at national and sectoral level
• Outcome 4: Establishment of a suitable nationwide mechanism for tracking adaptation investments and creation of a financial plan for the medium and long-term implementation of climate change adaptation (CCA)
