TARGETED TOPICS FORUM IN FIJI
The Network and the Government of the Republic of Fiji co-hosted a five-day forum on topics related to the NAP process including communications, knowledge sharing, gender, and monitoring and evaluation. With financial support from the Government of Canada, this forum brought together more than 70 representatives from 21 countries for lively discussions of NAP processes. Presentations from the forum are available here.
Forum participants also had a firsthand look at a number of adaptation projects in Nadi. Read Clare Church's recap of some of the highlights.
From the forum's day on gender, read our interview with Ivonne Yupanqui Valderrama—Director General of Peru’s Department of Gender Mainstreaming from the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations—on what gender-responsive adaptation looks like in Peru.
