Joint UN DESA and Government of Egypt capacity development workshop on “Mainstreaming climate adaptation into development cooperation policies and practices”
7-8 September 2022
New Administrative Capital, Egypt
In the context of Egypt's 2022 International Cooperation Forum & African Ministers Meeting, UNDESA and the Ministry of International Cooperation, Government of Egypt co-organized a capacity development workshop. The workshop aimed to support African countries in leveraging their enablers of effective development cooperation, especially their National Development Cooperation Policies (NDCPs), to enhance support by development partners for climate adaptation needs. Building on the insights of the 2021-2022 Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) survey findings and against the backdrop of the two-year Glasgow-Sharm-el-Sheikh work programme, the workshop:
- Discussed broader Africa-specific survey insights on making development cooperation more agile, risk-informed and effective;
- Engaged participants in interactive peer-learning and knowledge sharing activities, on how their NDCPs have integrated climate adaptation priorities, opportunities for improvement and how they can be leveraged for more effective support from development partners;
- Explored specific effective practices of the other enablers of effective development cooperation, such as Country Results Frameworks, Development Cooperation Information Systems (DCIS) and National Development Cooperation Forums (NDCFs); and
- Identified specific actions for participants to take in their country contexts toward integrating climate adaptation into their development cooperation policies and practices.
