1. Background. The assessment aims to provide substantive and quality baseline information to inform the development of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) financing and investment strategy. It supports the third outcome of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness support grant project Advancing Papua New Guinea’s National Adaptation Plan implemented by the Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA), with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP): “Financing framework for climate change adaptation action for medium-to long-term is established”. The assignment is part of USAID’s Climate Ready Project (Climate Ready) implemented by DT Global. Analysis and findings were shared throughout the assignment duration, as they became available, to inform the NAP, including its section on the financing strategy and the sectoral adaptation guidelines.
