description The ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2016 laid the course for all countries to set Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and adaptation activities and begin implementation of these plans. In many developing countries, the agriculture sector is a key component of mitigation contributions and adaptation plans. However, not all sectoral ministries including, for example the Ministry of Agriculture, have the full knowledge about the UNFCCC processes, the global climate negotiations and their role in contributing to the national commitments in climate change and the NDCs. GIZ, as part of its support to African Union institutions, is working with NEPAD to help support African countries in their implementation of NDC commitments through creation of a training course. NEPAD and CCAFS have joined forces, and with support from GIZ they held a training workshop on 10 – 12 April 2018 in Nairobi for participants from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Ethiopia. The participants came from Ministries of agriculture, environment, finance, and planning. The overall aim of the training course was to enhance capacities amongst staff and personnel of the various ministries for successful implementation of the agricultural components of the NDCs. The focus of the training was to create a broader understanding of NDCs with the aim that participants have a better understanding of (a) What has to be done? (b) How it can be done? (c) Where can they find further support? and (d) What are existing tools that can be used?
