The Climate Change Department of Zimbabwe has launched a Building capacity to advance National Adaptation Planning (NAP) process set to run for three years in the country with a three million dollar value nationwide.
The process, according to a climate change scientist Emily Matingo, will entail vulnerability and assessment components, research and further build blocks needed for developing the adaptation plan with a participatory approach.
Similarly, UN task manager for the process said the project will benefit communities from grassroot level.
"The mandate will be given to the cabinet and parliament for endorsement while input will come from stakeholders in the country," Kouadio N'Goran, the Green Climate Fund NAP task manager from the United Nation.
The director for climate change department, Washington Zhakata, says the vision is in line with the country's 2030 vision.
"The department is demonstrating some of the projects namely the solar water pumping for sustainable gardens in Bulilima, and irrigation schemes in UMzingwane," said Zhakata.
