Brief Description
The Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP) in Ghana will promote systemic change for a more integrated and holistic
approach to climate change adaptation, through providing inputs to a comprehensive programme that will develop
early warning systems in the country, as well as by supporting strategic policy dialogue and capacity development
approaches. These will enable the country to better mainstream pro-poor and gender sensitive climate change
adaptation into its national and sub-national development processes, and to leverage additional adaptation funding
and use this effectively. Concrete measures and policy level support will be linked through integration of disaster
risk reduction and climate change adaptation in development. Adaptation benefits will be generated through
improved capacity to deal with increased incidences of climate-linked natural disasters, as well as strengthened
institutions, capacities and budgeting for adaptation response; as well as the climate-proofing of livelihoods of
vulnerable populations, agriculturalists and other resource users in marginal regions through improved observation
and early warning systems.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
1. Problem and root causes
Climate change risks and vulnerabilities
Initial assessments of Ghana’s vulnerability to the impacts of climate change undertaken under the
Netherlands Climate Assistance Programme (NCAP) in 2008 show substantial impact of climate change on
the national economy. There is clear evidence that the coastal zone, agriculture (including fisheries, cocoa,
cereals, and root crops production), and water resource sectors as well as human health, poverty, and
women’s livelihoods are affected by climate change and climate variability. Scenarios and initial climate
model projections so far indicate that the country is very vulnerable to climate variability and change, with
projected temperature shifts, declines in rainfall, and shifts in the timing and intensity of weather events. For
example, further climatic stress is expected to result in increased aridification and exposure to intense rainfall
in the Northern Regions, leading to lower agricultural productivity, flooding, and increasing migration
pressure to the south. Using nationally observed climate data for the period of 1960 to 2000, coupled with
regional climate models together with IPCC scenarios, it is estimated that temperatures will continue to rise
by on average about 0.6°C, 2.0°C, and 3.9°C by the year 2020, 2050 and 2080 respectively. Rainfall is
predicted to decrease on average by 2.8%, 10.9% and 18.6% by 2020, 2050 and 2080 respectively in all
agro-ecological zones except the rainforest zone, where rainfall may increase. 1 Increasing aridity may cause
reductions in groundwater recharge of 5-22% by 2020 and 30-40% by 2050. For the dry interior savannah,
increases in water demand by 2050 under climate change are projected to be 1 200% of base water
demand. Cocoa production, a mainstay of the Ghanaian economy and of small-scale livelihoods, is projected
to decline in the south. A projected sea level rise of 1m by 2100 could see the loss of over 1 000km² of land,
with 132 000 people likely to be affected. The east coast is particularly vulnerable to flooding and shoreline
recession.
Assessments indicate that climate change poses the greatest challenges for some of the poorest and most
vulnerable groups in Ghana. This includes people living in the drought and flood-prone northern regions of
the country; people living in slums; and people living in eroding coastal areas. The urban poor in many cases
have fewer resources to adapt to climate change – for example, people living in large settlements on flood
plains around Accra are extremely vulnerable to natural disasters. In addition, the ecological zones in the
country with relatively high temperatures and relatively low rainfall tend to have higher poverty incidences.
This correlation is expected to persist under the impacts of climate change. Apart from serious impacts on
natural resource-based livelihoods, climate change is likely to increase the incidence of certain diseases
such as malaria, bilharzia and cholera. Reductions in rainfall and other factors mean that coastal towns are
facing severe water shortages during the dry season, and hydropower capacity is dropping rapidly. There is
anecdotal evidence that climate change may be exacerbating existing instabilities in northern Ghana.
The precursor study to Ghana’s Country Environmental Profile showed that the basis for Ghana’s economic
growth is being achieved only at high cost to the environment, conservatively estimated at around 6 percent
of GDP, or around $500 million, annually. This estimate excludes the health and environmental costs arising
from industrial and artisanal mining, inadequate urban sanitation and waste, and indoor and outdoor air
pollution. It also does not include costs arising from social conflicts over access to increasingly scarce
resources. Nor do these costs include the predicted impacts on these and other variables of the climate
change impacts described above.
Ghana has experienced increasing natural disasters. Notable events include the 2007 floods which struck
the three Northern regions and parts of the Western region. The major incidence of disasters in Ghana is
from floods, epidemics, fire, pests and diseases and conflicts. As there is a very high reliance on rainfed

Data from “Ghana climate change impacts, vulnerability and adoption assessment” (2008), and based on two General Circulation
Models. See Section 1.2 on Methods for additional information. This data is refined from the data in Ghana’s First National
Communication. Note that according to analysis of available data by the University of Oxford (http://country-profiles.geog.ox.ac.uk/),
projections of mean annual rainfall averaged over the country from different models are for a wide range of changes in precipitation for
Ghana, with around half the models projecting increases and half projecting decreases.

agriculture for food security in Ghana, drought is a top natural disaster risk. In recent times these disasters
have caused major disruptions in the economic and social development of the country, due to the inability to
cope effectively with natural hazards. The main sources of vulnerability include poverty and development
pressures (including rising population pressures and unplanned urbanisation). Other factors include fragile
and degraded environments, epidemic diseases (especially malaria and HIV/AIDS), and governance issues.
Incomplete policy and institutional framework
Ghana has played an internationally recognized role through the UNFCCC negotiations, particularly on
technology transfer and, following the Climate Change Conference in Bali in December 2007, on adaptation
financing mechanisms. However, while the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has played a critical
leadership and championing role, and there is emerging commitment more broadly at senior political levels,
climate risk and the implications of climate change for vulnerability and development have yet to be fully
appreciated by central government ministries. There is also not yet an adequately cross-sectoral approach to
these issues, which have tended to be seen as sectoral environmental issues. To ensure effective
integration, adaptation and mitigation measures need to be based upon an assessment of; (a) the risks and
degree of exposure to emerging climate variability and change hazards; (b) costing for required response
mechanisms; and (c) an enhanced intersectoral understanding of impacts and emerging responses that is
anchored within the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MOFEP) and the National Development
Planning Commission (NDPC). Some responses require realignment in targeting and synergy across
existing approaches, whereas others require changes in existing institutions, legislations, policies, and
approaches.
Ghana has a number of sector budget support mechanisms, including one for Natural Resources and
Environmental Governance (NREG). This includes climate change and targets development of a national
adaptation strategy in 2009 and a national mitigation strategy in 2010. Through NREG there is a strong
engagement with MoFEP, and emerging commitment at senior political levels. A zero draft National Climate
Change Adaptation Strategy (NCCAS) has been accepted as a trigger for sector budget support by MoFEP
under the NREG programme, underlining the need for the NCCAS to be completed without any further delay.
Despite these advances, a stronger policy dialogue is needed to establish a coherent policy, institutional and
regulatory framework that will fully integrate climate change adaptation into planning and development.
There is a need for clarification and systematisation of the national and sub-national institutional framework
for coordinating climate change adaptation responses in an integrated fashion, and for involving civil society
in a meaningful and structured manner. Ghana has yet to mobilise national sources of funding and to tap into
global opportunities for financing for climate change adaptation. This relates back to a limited understanding
and knowledge of climate change impacts and how these will affect sectoral development, and consequently
a limited ability to budget for adaptation actions.
While climate change is expected to increase the incidence and severity of natural disasters in many regions,
Ghana has yet to develop a comprehensive disaster reduction framework, for which key constraints include
weak institutional capacity, low public awareness, and insufficient knowledge of the disaster risk profile. The
NCCAS has identified the need for better weather forecasting, with early warning systems identified as a
prerequisite for adaptation, particularly to predict and prevent the effects of floods, droughts and tropical
cyclones, and to guide planting dates and predict disease and pest outbreaks.
Need for a more inclusive and gender responsive approach
While a range of stakeholders has been involved in the development of the zero draft NCCAS, the need for
more structured and systematic engagement of multiple stakeholders in policy dialogue and formulation has
been identified. As Oxfam has pointed out, globally the impacts of climate change will be felt
disproportionately by women, because it will put more pressure on women’s household roles, while at the
same time depleting the natural resources that women in particular depend upon (Raworth, 2008). This
highlights the need for renewed sustained efforts to assist women to adapt to possible climate impacts,
including through widening the scope of consultation to include women and their groups. While the
Government of Ghana (GoG) has taken a number of policy and institutional measures to promote gender
equality and there are strong active civil society organizations addressing the issue, recent Human
Development Report (HDR) disaggregated figures for income, literacy and enrolment indicate the
persistence of gender inequality. Failure to adequately tackle the gender/climate change nexus will result in
4
28 September 2009
an exacerbation of existing inequalities, and reinforcing the disparity between women and men and their
capacity to cope.
Fragmented and ad hoc local-level adaptation projects
While a number of adaptation initiatives, such as the NCCAS, are taking place at the national level, there are
currently fragmented approaches to adaptation at the local level. While there may be many autonomous
actions of communities and individuals that are adaptive in nature, specific adaptation projects are extremely
limited. One example provided is the CIDA-funded CARE International ‘Community Land Use Responses to
Climate Change in Northern Ghana’ (CLURCC) project, which aims to reduce the negative impact of
desertification and climate change vulnerabilities on poor and vulnerable rural communities by improving
capacity at district, NGO and community levels to mainstream vulnerability assessment, risk mitigation and
adaptation strategies into planning and programming. UNDP Ghana efforts that are likely to have an
adaptive outcome, although not specifically designed as climate change adaptation interventions, include a
Sustainable Land Management project, and mainstreaming dryland issues into development planning, as
well as a GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) project. A number of JICA’s ongoing projects which are
relevant to adaptation include: a) water supply project at the community level in northern state; b) Integrated
agriculture development project in Upper West State; c) Sustainable rice development project in Northern
and Ashanti States; and d) forestry project in Brong Ahafo State.
2. Proposed response
A process of concerted and systematic capacity development is required to put in place the foundation for an
integrated response to mainstreaming climate change adaptation into Ghana’s national development
processes and programmes. This will include strengthening the capacity of women to participate in climate
change adaptation policies, decision-making and implementation. While policy and strategy development is
not yet complete, and has not yet resulted in the development of a broad-based national coalition for
championing integration of climate change issues into planning, it is at the same time considered important
by national stakeholders to have tangible demonstration projects and concrete outputs. The country also
wishes to position itself better to be able to accept and consume the increased funding flows for adaptation
that are expected in the near future. In order to be able to make the case for greater investment in adaptation
actions in Ghana, it is important to sensitise sector leads on the implications of climate change for their
sectors. Additionally, there is the need to strengthen national systems to deal with the anticipated impacts, to
ensure that these systems become on-budget.
One of the priority programmes identified in the zero draft National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy is
the development of national early warning systems. Key stakeholders have stated that the adaptation issue
needs to be elevated to a level beyond disaster risk reduction. The different sectors require policies to guide
them in addressing the impacts that will be felt. This requires significant and comprehensive capacity
development on the part of policy formulators and managers.
To meet these different demands and priorities, the programme for Ghana has been developed so that funds
can be used strategically to maximise leverage for the country, as well as to have an immediate impact in
terms of concrete deliverables. The strategic components of the programme that will assist with the
development of a sound and integrated foundation for climate change adaptation encompass systematic
high-level capacity development for politicians and managers, aimed at building a broad-based national
coalition for climate change adaptation, including the fast-tracking of capacity for both sectoral adaptation
funding as well as accessing and absorbing international adaptation funding flows. These strategic elements
are combined with tangible deliverables in the form of prioritised early warning systems, developed in a
collaborative programme with other initiatives. The link between these two kinds of programme components
is the need to integrate climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
The proposed response addresses underlying causes of leadership competencies at all levels to foster
commitment and action, effective stakeholder partnerships, innovation, creativity and delivery of results. The
focus on awareness raising and capacity development addresses human resources and capabilities for
change, towards creating resilience and sustainable results. Integration of gender into programme
interventions provides a valuable opportunity to address systemic factors fostering marginalisation and
vulnerability of women.

To address the identified problem statement and underlying causes, a comprehensive suite of responses are
proposed under five main expected outputs. These responses will address the enabling environment for
climate change adaptation in Ghana, support capacity development and, in partnership with other funding
initiatives, contribute to the implementation of priority early warning systems. During the programme
formulation mission, it was agreed that new funding through the World Bank-managed GFDRR will provide
support for the development of EWS in Ghana, and synergies will be sought with the ongoing UNDP BCPRsupported Northern Recovery Project, which focuses on disaster risk reduction. The JICA has a number of
ongoing activities related to climate change. While these have not yet been specifically focused on
adaptation, the AAP will explore possibilities for collaboration in this regard.
The programme will be guided by the following principles, amongst others:

Exploration and exploitation of co-benefits

Maximization of opportunities and minimization of risks

Subsidiary – harmonization and aid-effectiveness and leveraging of national as well as international
resources

Coherence with wider development planning and strategies as well as integration into programming

Responsiveness and flexibility through application of emerging knowledge and thinking, in a rightsbased approach
Output 1: Dynamic, long-term planning mechanisms to cope with the inherent uncertainties of
climate change introduced – This output will seek to broaden the national coalition for championing and
integrating climate change adaptation into sectoral development. It will also develop enhanced
understanding of the links between climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and integration of
these into national development plans; and strengthen the ability of districts to integrate climate change
adaptation and disaster risk reduction into district development planning. Working together with the EPA and
MoFEP, actions under this output, which will build upon and strengthen existing and proposed initiatives, will
include: allocating resources to prioritised ministries or institutions to enable them to understand the potential
impacts of climate change on their sectors and development plans, and to re-align their budgeting processes
so that these fully incorporate funding for climate change adaptation actions and are able to accommodate
uncertainties of climate change; bearing in mind the special needs of women to make their livelihoods
climate-resilient. The impact assessment will depend mainly on reviewing existing literature and results from
previous research studies and related work to be used for raising awareness and for participatory
identification of adaptation options; and will not involve conducting new impact studies, which would require
a longer time span. A systematic and ongoing process of high-level awareness raising and training events to
develop increased political championing of climate change issues will be implemented. This will be
complemented by capacity development interventions for institutions and ministries whose functions are
related to the prioritised hazards and early warning systems (Output 3), to enable them to better integrate
climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into their development activities. Again building on
existing initiatives, priority areas of support will be identified to support better integration of climate change
adaptation and disaster risk reduction at the district level, and funding will be allocated to relevant institutions
and pilot districts to implement prioritised actions, which could include validating the climate change
mainstreaming tool already developed, as well as implementation actions (see Output 3).
Output 2: Leadership and institutional frameworks to manage climate change risks and opportunities
in an integrated manner at the local and national levels built – This output will result in strengthened
functioning inter-ministerial (national, sub-national, local) and multi-stakeholder civil society mechanisms to
manage climate change risks and opportunities, with institutional innovations to manage climate change
risks/opportunities identified through inter-African sharing and exchange, and implemented. Specific activities
include assessing the existing institutional framework, including the proposed inter-ministerial committee on
climate change; holding a consultative multi-stakeholder workshop to consider possible institutional options
for national and sub-national climate change coordinating structures; setting up coordinated inter-ministerial
and multi-stakeholder mechanisms, with linkages to disaster risk reduction mechanisms; design and conduct
capacity development through learning-in-action (training with results) programmes (with assistance of
6
28 September 2009
technical experts-- at national, sub-national and local levels), with key institutions for climate change
adaptation and disaster risk reduction, with a focus on women’s representation in these institutional
mechanisms; inter-African climate change adaptation learning exchange visit; and assistance to assess and
implement any institutional innovations that may be identified through this exchange visit. Actions under this
output will include developing leadership that recognises the critical role of women in climate change
adaptation and in reducing risks and vulnerabilities, in order to increase women’s access to adaptation/risk
management services and livelihood opportunities.
Output 3: Climate-resilient policies and measures implemented in priority sectors - The main thrust of
this output will be to contribute to the development of integrated early warning systems in Ghana, in
partnership with funding envelopes from UNDP and the World Bank-managed GFDRR. A gap analysis of
existing early warning systems for multiple hazards e.g. drought, floods, wildfires, disease and pest
outbreaks, extreme events will be carried out and those EWS most relevant for poor and vulnerable
populations under the expected impacts of climate change will be prioritised, with an emphasis on priorities
for reducing vulnerability for women and poor and marginalised populations, and on increasing women’s
access to adaptation/risk management services and livelihood opportunities. Based on this, activities will be
planned and implemented for the prioritised hazards and EWS relating to the four key elements of EWS: risk
knowledge; monitoring and warning services; dissemination and communication; and response capability.
The major components that comprise EWS will be underpinned by activities geared towards strengthening
governance and institutional arrangements for the development and sustainability of a multi-hazard based
early warning system. Partners will plan jointly and respective activities will be based on comparative
advantage. Within the framework of UNDP/World Bank joint cooperation as spelt out in an Aide Memoire,
UNDP will support institutional and capacity building for EWS while the World Bank will support logistics and
hardware. Proposed funding responsibilities for the AAP are: gender-responsive community vulnerability
assessments in pilot areas; developing and operationalizing a GIS information management system on
climate change induced disaster and natural hazard risk information; facilitating the integration of climate
information and climate change projections into the risk assessment, monitoring and warning services;
developing and equipping community level institutions for dissemination and communication of the early
warning message in pilot areas; and developing and implementing community and volunteer education and
training programmes that integrate disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
Output 4: Financing options to meet national adaptation costs expanded at the local, national, subregional and regional levels - Financing options to meet national adaptation costs will be expanded
through a number of actions, including capacity development for sectoral budgeting to fund adaptation
actions, as well as through institutional options assessment to determine and assist the government to
develop the most appropriate institution to serve as a conduit for financing through the Adaptation Fund,
which requires particular fiduciary standards. Analysis of proposed climate change financing mechanisms will
be carried out to facilitate gender-responsive climate change investment financing, and to build capacity for
gender budgeting and auditing of climate change policies and other policies of relevance for climate change.
Possible financing options could include insurance for climate-resilient development.
Output 5: Knowledge on adjusting national development processes to fully incorporate climate
change risks and opportunities generated and shared across all levels – This output will focus on
developing platforms for learning-in-action to upscale adaptation efforts and create a knowledge base.
Actions will support key institutions to document, disseminate, and influence policy and programmatic
responses for adaptation in priority sectors, and will strengthen the capacity of NGOs and CBOs to share
and disseminate knowledge on learning-in-action programmes on adaptation to climate change, for
upscaling. A particular focus will be on documenting evidence of intersections of gender and climate change
adaptation risks/vulnerability. Specific actions will include: developing a knowledge platform, gendersensitive templates for developing adaptation projects, and advocacy and knowledge sharing materials;
designing and implementing a national system for knowledge sharing on incorporating climate risks and
opportunities into development; developing a facilitated knowledge network linking NGOs, CBOs and
practitioners for climate change adaptation; and facilitating linkages (both electronic and inter-country visits)
7
28 September 2009
between this network and other civil society networks in Africa through the regional technical assistance
component of the AAP, and by linkage with the Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM).
3. Feasibility assessment
A number of elements of feasibility assessment will need to be carried out in the detailed design phase to
guide implementation, as specified in the Results and Resources Framework. Primary amongst these is a
feasibility study to explore the specific priorities for development of early warning systems. This will involve
inventorising existing EWS, exploring the additional vulnerabilities and risks that are likely to accrue with
climate change impacts and identifying priority hazards and EWS for initial focus, based on projected risks
and vulnerabilities under climate change. It will explore the resources required for implementation at the
national, sub-national and local level, and be used to determine the focus for AAP and partner interventions.
4. Barriers to proposed response
An important barrier to mainstreaming climate change adaptation into development in Ghana is that the
current proposals for adaptation actions in the zero draft NCCAS are not explicitly linked to government
programmes and cycles. The proposed response will overcome this barrier through tackling one of the
underlying causes of this situation, which is the lack of understanding of the sectoral and development
implications of climate change effects in line ministries.
The above is one of the ways in which this project will move from a ‘technology’ only response to one in
which technology is combined with leadership, capacity and inclusiveness, in the pursuit of greater resilience
and sustainable results. It will require a number of shifts on the part of leaders and change makers at all
levels. One of these will be from seeing climate change as a narrow environmental issue to seeing it as a
broad, cross-cutting developmental issue that needs to inform planning and budgeting at all levels. Building
critical capacity, in the form of increased awareness and hard skills for planning and budgeting for climate
change adaptation, will be a major mechanism through which the proposed response will assist Ghana to
leverage in additional resources, in the form of significant international financial flows for adaptation. Further
related shifts are required in the broader arena, where improving societal awareness and preparedness for
future climate change is critical, in addition to enhancing the mainstreaming of climate change into national
development to reduce climate change risks. Finally, a shift is needed from the insufficient attention that has
been paid to women and gender equality concerns, to one of real commitment to the promotion of gender
responsiveness in development planning, with specific reference to climate change.
Much as it has become clear that developing collaborative cross-sectoral approaches to addressing climate
change is essential for efficiency, this will not be effective in the absence of significantly increased capacity
within each sector to understand the implications of climate change on development in the sector, and to be
able to develop responses to deal with this, including the necessary integration into budgets of key sectors
such as agriculture, land, forestry and energy. This barrier will be overcome by the proposed high-level
awareness raising programme, as well as the targeted capacity development interventions in key ministries
and institutions.
A further possible barrier or constraint is that the zero draft National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy has
been developed without being informed by a strong analysis of the economics of climate change. The
intention was that the Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change (EACC) study, being financed by the
Governments of the UK, The Netherlands, and Switzerland, with the World Bank leading on the technical
aspects of the study, would provide the necessary economic basis for the identification and prioritisation of
strategic actions. However, given current time frames, it may be that the NCCAS will be finalised before
completion of the EACC. The AAP programme will leverage in support from the regional technical assistance
part of the AAP to integrate additional peer-reviewed/scientific findings of climate-risk and economic
assessments, in order to strengthen the evidence basis for adaptation actions in Ghana. Relevant
information obtained during implementation will be used to revisit these barriers and make programme
adjustments, if necessary.

STRATEGY
The proposed response of the Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP) will assist with positioning Ghana to
reduce the risks of climate change impacts and to realise any opportunities that climate change provides for
sustainable development. The AAP in Ghana will promote systemic change for a more integrated and holistic
approach to climate change adaptation, through providing inputs to a comprehensive programme that will
develop early warning systems in the country, as well as by supporting strategic policy dialogue and capacity
development approaches. These will enable the country to better mainstream pro-poor and gender sensitive
climate change adaptation into its national and sub-national development processes, and to leverage
additional adaptation funding and use this effectively.
The AAP in Ghana will build on and collaborate with a number of existing and proposed initiatives. Key
amongst these is the finalisation of the GoG’s National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (NCCAS), to be
funded by CC DARE, a joint UNEP/UNDP programme for Sub-Saharan Africa funded by the Danish Ministry
for Foreign Affairs. It is anticipated that the NCCAS will be completed by December 2009, and will provide
greater clarity on the national adaptation priorities and mechanisms to address these. The proposed
response will further contribute to a broader programme to develop comprehensive early warning systems in
Ghana. Together with the GoG, elements of this will be jointly funded and implemented by UNDP and the
Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR, managed by the World Bank), as agreed
during the formulation mission discussions. The GFDRR is a partnership of the International Strategy for
Disaster Reduction (ISDR) system to support the implementation of the Hyogo Framework of Action (HFA),
which is the primary international agreement for disaster reduction.
The UNDP Country Programme Document identifies three main thematic areas, derived from the UNDAF,
for UNDP programme interventions, namely: consolidation of democracy; wealth creation and empowerment
of the poor; and vulnerability reduction and environmental sustainability. To address a crucial need identified
in the GPRS II, and within the framework of UNDAF, UNDP has existing programmes to assist in the
development and implementation of national strategies for disaster risk reduction and early warning systems.
Policy work will be combined with institutional capacity building to ensure efficient and sustainable risk
management in the country and reduce risks for vulnerable populations especially women through the
development of disaster risk profiles. According to the UNDP Country Programme, the development of an
institutional framework for disaster risk reduction will be supported in order to reduce vulnerability of affected
populations, especially women, to environmental emergencies through development of disaster risk profiles
that include epidemic diseases such as malaria and HIV/AIDS.
The project contributes to the CPAP Outcome ‘3.4.1.Establishment of regulatory framework for ensuring
sustainable use of natural resources for improved livelihood’. The CP outcome ‘National and local systems
for emergency preparedness, disaster prevention, response and mitigation’ is being pursued by UNDP in
collaboration with WFP, FAO and the Government of Ghana. The proposed programme will contribute to
achieving these outcomes, together with a current proposal by the GFDRR, in collaboration with UNDP
BCPR’s work in the Northern Regions where possible, for disaster risk reduction within the context of climate
change adaptation, and to specifically support the development of early warning systems. While the
formulation mission was approached as a coordinated mission with both of these initiatives, some details
concerning exact roles and responsibilities for this integrated approach will need to be worked out in the
inception period. The proposed response will also seek synergies with the Special Climate Change Fund
(SCCF) project for Ghana, currently in development, which will focus on health aspects of climate change
adaptation.
Furthermore, the proposed response is in accordance with priorities identified for increasing adaptation
capacities in the zero draft NCCAS, which include: (i) increasing national awareness; (ii) mainstreaming
climate change impacts and adaptation into sectoral policies, plans and programmes; (iii) addressing longterm investment risks; (iv) coping with extreme weather events; (v) improving observation and early warning
systems; (vi) strengthening the research and development base; and (vii) enhancing partnership and
international cooperation. Furthermore, the project will be designed and implemented to facilitate
institutionalization of gender guidelines and perspectives, to ensure gender equity in access and control of

Given these synergies with key priorities identified in the GPRS and the zero draft NCCAS, as well as with
priorities identified through the Natural Resources and Environmental Governance (NREG) sector group
process it is clear that the project is consistent with national strategy and with national commitment to
achieving both broader national and the CPAP relevant outcomes under which this initiative falls.
The programme will develop a range of partnerships within and outside of the UN system that can contribute
technical know-how or finance to the project outputs/activity results. The proposed response will involve
existing staff from key national and international institutions. For the disaster risk management and early
warning components, this will include the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), civil
society organisations, the Meteorological Services Agency, WHO, UNICEF, the UN Office for Humanitarian
Affairs (UN-OCHA), FAO and WFP, who have acquired relevant capacity and experience from their regular
operations, with possible additional assistance from the World Meteorological Organisation, UNHCR,
International Civil Defence Organisation, amongst others.

Comparative advantage
The proposed response builds on previous interventions of UNDP Ghana, which are centrally located within
UNDP’s comparative advantages of capacity development and the environment and energy focus, which
encompasses climate change. One of these was the 2008 National Action Programme to Mainstream
Climate Change into Ghana’s Development, which aimed also to broaden dialogue among stakeholders in
Ghana on climate change. A second was the 2007 collaboration between the country office and BCPR to
support NADMO in establishing functioning information management systems at district level to ensure
coordinated disaster relief. Thus, through the proposed response, UNDP will further support policy
development and strengthen national capacities, leadership development at all levels and partnerships to
ensure that there are sustainable results. The programme both leverages UNDP’s comparative advantage in
capacity development and strategic policy dialogue, and combines this with concrete deliverables in one of
UNDP’s key focus areas, disaster risk reduction. The project outputs in this regard will be achieved through a
partnership with the GFDRR, in which the comparative technical and infrastructure development comparative
advantages of this institution will be harnessed. Other national and UN organisations involved in disaster risk
reduction and with technical expertise in early warning systems, such as UNISDR, OCHA, FAO, UNICEF,
WFP, USAID (FEWS-NET), as well as NGOs such as Christian Aid who are engaged in developing EWS in
Ghana, will also be approached for collaboration and assistance.
While the proposed response does include technical/technological responses, these occur within the
development of policy, regulatory, leadership and institutional mechanisms required for deploying and
sustaining the proposed technical responses.

Output 1 Dynamic, longterm planning mechanisms
to cope with the inherent
uncertainties of climate
change introduced
Baseline:
Ghana has limited planning
mechanisms to cope with the
uncertainty
of
climate
change; climate risk and the
implications
of
climate
change for vulnerability and
development have yet to be
fully appreciated by sectoral
government ministries; and
CCA and DRR are not
integrated.
Overall Indicator:
The foundation for a broadbased
and
integrated
response to mainstreaming
climate change adaptation
into
Ghana’s
national
development processes is in
place, which includes an
integrated
approach
to
climate change adaptation
and disaster risk reduction.

The Project will be implemented by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)) and executed by the Ministry of
Environment, Science and Technology (MEST)x. Implementation oversight to ensure programme/project
assurance will be by UNDP (UNDP Country Office and Regional Technical Advisor). The project will be
subjected to review by PAC prior to its approval, to ensure substantive input from the Bureau and other
partners.
The project will have a National Execution modality (NEX) to include the coordination activities and support
to capacity building of relevant institutions. A Project Board will be set up with the MEST as Chair. The Board
will meet quarterly to review progress in the implementation of the project, and solicit guidance from other
partners as relevant.
The Core Management Team (CMT) will review progress in project implementation twice a year and
reallocate resources as needed or take remedial action. Specialised technical support will be provided to the
national project team from the Inter-Regional Technical Support Component of the Africa Adaptation
Programme. The RTA at the Africa Regional Center will provide guidance regarding technical and advisory
support as needed including sharing of country experiences in implementation of similar projects operating in
the Africa.
The project manager is responsible for the day to day management of the project including the five outputs
as described in this document. He/she has delegated authority for the funds and support staff and is
responsible for the day to day management and implementation of the project. He/she is accountable for the
adherence to UNDP policies and procedures, financial management of the project, project contracting,
personnel management, procurement, travel, training, etc. He/she will provide semi-annual progress reports
to the CMT and annual progress report to the Project Board. He/she will report to the chair at MoFEP, and if
so needed to the UNDP Resident Representative, irregularities, issues of non compliance with UNDP
policies and procedures and other financial, personnel and project managerial problems that cannot be
solved or outside his/her competencies.
VII.
MONITORING FRAMEWORK AND EVALUATION
Global/Regional-Level
This national project forms part of a selected number of national projects supported by UNDP under a
targeted program of support, entitled” the Africa Adaptation Program”. In this regard, monitoring will be
undertaken within the broader context of learning and creating a platform for documenting and experience
sharing, etc.
National-Level
In accordance with the programming policies and procedures outlined in the UNDP User Guide, the
Programme will be monitored at the national levels through the following:
Within the annual cycle
On a quarterly basis, a quality assessment shall record progress towards the completion of key results,
based on quality criteria and methods captured in the Quality Management table below (to come).
An Issue Log shall be activated in Atlas and updated by the National Project Manager to facilitate tracking
and response of potential problems or requests for change.
Based on the initial risk analysis submitted, a risk log shall be activated in Atlas and regularly updated by
reviewing the external environment that may affect the project implementation.
Based on the above information recorded in Atlas, a Project Progress Report (PPR) shall be submitted by
the National Project Manager to the Project Board through Project Assurance, using the standard report
format available in the Executive Snapshot.
A Project Lesson-learned log shall be activated and regularly updated to ensure on-going learning and
adaptation within the organization, and to facilitate the preparation of the Lessons-learned Report at the end
of the project.
A Monitoring Schedule Plan shall be activated in Atlas and updated to track key management actions/events.
Learning and Knowledge Sharing
Results from the project will be disseminated within and beyond the project intervention zone through a
number of existing information sharing networks and forums. In addition:
i.
The project will participate, as relevant and appropriate, in UNDP-GEF sponsored networks,
organized for senior personnel working on projects that share common characteristics. The
Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) will function as key electronic platform to capture project
learning and adaptation impacts generated by the project. The ALM lessons learned template (to be
made available by RTA) will be adapted for use by the project. To support this goal, adaptationrelated activities from the project will contribute knowledge to the ALM, such as the following:

Best practices in integrating adaptation into national and local development policy, and project
design and implementation mechanisms.

Lessons learned on removing the most common barriers to adaptation, with special attention to
the roles of local partners, international partners, UNDP, and GEF in designing and
implementing projects

The conditions for success (or failure), including replication and scaling up.

ii. The project will identify and participate, as relevant and appropriate, in scientific, policybased and/or any other networks, which may be of benefit to project implementation though
lessons learned.

iii. The project will identify, analyze, and share lessons learned that might be beneficial in the
design and implementation of similar future projects. Identification and analysis of lessons
learned is an ongoing process, and the need to communicate such lessons as one of the
project's central contributions is a requirement to be delivered not less frequently than once
every 12 months. UNDP-GEF shall provide a format and assist the project team in categorizing,
40
28 September 2009
documenting and reporting on lessons learned. To this end a percentage of project resources
will need to be allocated for these activities.
Annually
Annual Review Report (ARR)/Project Implementation Review (PIR). ARR/PIR shall be prepared by the
Project Manager and shared with the Project Board. As minimum requirement, the Annual Review Report
shall consist of the Atlas standard format for the Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) covering the whole year
with updated information for each above element of the QPR as well as a summary of results achieved
against pre-defined annual targets at the output level.
Annual Project Review. Based on the above report, an annual project review shall be conducted during the
fourth quarter of the year or soon after, to assess the performance of the project and appraise the Annual
Work Plan (AWP) for the following year. In the last year, this review will be a final assessment. This review is
driven by the Project Board and may involve other stakeholders as required. It shall focus on the extent to
which progress is being made towards outputs, and that these remain aligned to appropriate outputs.
Quality Management for Project Activity Results
The following tables shall be further refined during the process “Initiating a Project”.

Annex 4: UNDP Tools and Resources
The UNDP/BDP/EEG Climate Change Adaptation team has finalised, or is developing, numerous tools
that will support countries from project development and implementation through to monitoring and
evaluation.
Adaptation Policy Frameworks (APF) for Climate Change: Provides a structured approach to formulating
and implementing adaptation strategies, policies and measures to ensure human development in the face
of climate variability and change. The APF links adaptation to sustainable development and global
environmental issues and can be used for formulating and designing adaptation-related projects, or for
exploring the potential to add adaptation considerations to other types of projects. Projects can focus on
any
population
scale,
from
the
village
to
the
national
level
(http://www.undp.org/climatechange/adapt/apf.html).
Operational Guidance for Climate Change Adaptation: Describes the current development baseline,
current vulnerabilities to climate hazards, and future climate risks for the thematic areas of agriculture and
food security, water resources and quality, public health, disaster risk management, coastal zone
development, and natural resources, drawing upon the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC)’s Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Possible adaptation strategies, policies and
measures are described for each thematic area (May/June 2008).
Country Adaptation Profiles: Initially designed to assist UNDP Country Offices and Regional Technical
Advisors in developing adaptation proposals that were integrated into broader development planning, the
profiles are now publicly available on the Adaptation Learning Mechanism website. A large range of
adaptation information is captured that assists with 1) providing a platform with national stakeholders can
share information and 2) illustrating the structured thinking necessary for planning robust adaptation
programmes (http://www.adaptationlearning.net/profiles/).
Country-level climate risk profiles5: Assist countries to identify their climate risks and management options
by analysing observed trends in key climate variables and projected future changes using the latest
climate model outputs which were assessed in the IPCC AR4. Underlying datasets, narratives of
observed trends and projected changes and guidance notes on the appropriate application will be
prepared (60 country profiles by end August 2008).
Guidance and resource document on climate information for adaptation planning: Analyses what climate
information is really required for the different tasks of climate risk management and within different
contexts. Current state of the availability and robustness of climate information and key sources of data
are summarised to provide a quick guide for adaptation researchers and practitioners (September 2008).
Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Adaptation to Climate Change: Describes how to define
portfolio- and project-level indicators for adaptation that are applicable across all thematic areas and link
programme
objectives
to
the
MDGs
(May/June
2008).
(http://www.undp.org/climatechange/adapt/downloads/Adaptation_ME_DRAFT_July.pdf
Resource guide on gender and climate change: Describes the linkages between gender and climate
change and provides entry points for designing gender sensitive adaptation and mitigation measures
(September 2008)
Another important resource will be the UNDP-implemented GEF Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM).
The ALM (www.adaptationlearning.net/) includes the Country Adaptation Profiles (noted above), case
studies and lessons learned, learning templates, and a resources database.
