Webinar announcement:
Implementing NDCs in the agriculture sector across Africa: What
directions for capacity building?
Date: Friday, 19th June 2020
Time: 13:00 - 15:00 East African time / 10:00 - 12:00 GMT
As countries are in the process of revising and submitting updated
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the UNFCCC, the role of
agriculture is a concern to many. This webinar is intended to offer a
platform for participants from across Africa to discuss capacity
building needs in respect to implementing NDCs in the agriculture
sector. It will present findings from a recent survey carried out to
gather insights on these capacity needs and will offer a chance for
national ministry officers and those from civil society to validate
these findings and offer additional insights related to their countries'
particular situations.
Objectives of the webinar are:
* To provide insights on the shortcomings of the first generation NDCs
and how these can be addressed as NDCs are being revised
* To share results of a capacity needs survey focused on how to
improve NDC implementation in the agriculture sector
* To gather insights from webinar participants from across the African
continent on additional capacity needs and priorities
