The focus of the adaptation strategy is the national level and the approach is sector-based. The key objective of the adaptation strategy is to incorporate adaptation as a cross-cutting perspective into the planning, activities and follow-up within the sectors. The strategy deals with the impacts of climate changes and proposes measures to be introduced immediately as well as lines of action to be followed over longer term. Incorporation of climate change adaptation into national development plans is promoted. The objective is to reduce poverty, improve food security, promote the sustainable use of natural resources, increase the amounts of water and cultivable land available and access to sustainably produced energy, support social stability and equality and, through all this, prevent uncontrollable migratory flows both within counties and across borders.
