Republic of South Sudan's National Adaptation Programme of Actions (NAPA) to Climate Change.

Republic of South Sudan's National Adaptation Programme of Actions (NAPA) to Climate Change is a cross-cutting national policy with the overarching objective to communicate to the international community priority activities that will address South Sudan's urgent and immediate needs for adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change. South Sudan's NAPA specifies 5 priority activities (referred to as Priority Adaptation Projects), namely: i) Environment; ii) Water Resources; iii) Agriculture; iv) Disaster Risk Reduction; and v) Policy and Institutional Framework. The guiding principles for all adaptation projects include, among others: Promotion of conflict resolution and peace-building; gender equality and other vulnerable groups to be considered in the design of projects; promotion of livelihood diversification; indigenous knowledge to be included in the design of adaptation projects; and land tenure to be considered when deciding the projects' location.
