The National Climate Change Adaptation Plan is a national policy with a cross-sectoral approach. The timeframe of this Plan is 5 years between 2017 and 2021. The goals of the NAP for 2017-2021 are: (i) strengthened institutional structure; (ii) climate-responsive water management; (iii) integration of climate change adaptation into national sustainable development plans and projects; (iv) food security; (v) ecosystem preservation and improved management and conservation of protected areas; (vi) integrated coastal zone management; (vii) sustainable land management; (viii) fund allocation for disaster risk reduction; (ix) public health; (x) collection, analysis and provision of climate related data; and (xi) public awareness-raising.

Climate-smart practices will be integrated into food, agriculture, and fisheries sectors to support food security in times of climate change induced stress on the food production sector. Furthermore, capacity building and local seed distribution programme will be implemented for food insecure and vulnerable households to mitigate livelihood losses from changing climate.
