Sierra Leone
OUR PROGRAM
The NAP Global Network worked with the Environmental Protection Agency in Sierra Leone from 2018 to 2020 to build political support for the NAP process among decision-makers at the national and subnational levels, with the goal of increasing the integration of climate change adaptation into the country’s medium- and long-term development plans. This was done through a series of engagement workshops held in Freetown and around the country.
We also helped increase public awareness of the NAP process through the development of a NAP communications strategy, including targeted communication products and training workshops for members of the national and local media, government ministries, departments and agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
