Technical guidelines for the NAP process
The COP requested the LDC Expert Group (LEG) to elaborate technical guidelines for the NAP process
based on the initial guidelines for the formulation of NAPs, and to arrange a review
of these technical guidelines (decision 5/CP.17, paragraphs 15-16).
The LEG organized a review meeting from 29 to 31 October 2012 in Bonn, Germany, to review a
draft of the guidelines. The meeting was attended by experts and representatives of the Global
Environment Facility (GEF), UN agencies and other relevant research, academic and non-governmental
organizations.

The initial guidelines for the formulation of NAPs by LDC Parties were adopted by the COP at its
seventeenth session (decision 5/CP.17, paragraph 6). They elaborate four elements that are indicative
of the activities that can be undertaken in the development of NAPs, depending on national
circumstances, and determined by LDC Parties.
The initial guidelines are contained in the annex to decision 5/CP.17, and are available in all six
UN languages.
