Mr. Dauchi was delivering opening remarks on behalf of Mr. John Msimuko Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough the NAP4CR project, the Government of Zambia will formulate a medium- to long-term climate adaptation plan and develop prioritized adaptation actions with financing strategies,\u201d said Mr. Dauchi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will enable Zambia to systematically advance the implementation of priority adaptation actions contributing to the implementation of Zambia\u2019s Nationally Determined Contribution and the 7th National Development Plan.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the inception phase of NAP4CR which ran during 2021, the MLNR commissioned consultants to review existing tools for integrating climate change adaptation into plans, budgets, monitoring &amp; evaluation systems, as well as review and report on climate change adaptation and develop policy guidelines to incentivize investment in adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;The ministry also commissioned consultants to document good practice in integrating climate change adaptation in planning and implementation of adaptation actions, and to facilitate development of the NAP Communication Strategy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;The outputs of these consultancies were validated during the hybrid Stakeholder Validation Workshop for NAP4CR, which was convened by the MLNR, with support from GWPSA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Speakers at the NAP Validation Workshop (Left -right) Mr Allan Dauchi, The Chief Natural
