ESTRUCTURA DE COORDINACIÓN
Institución Responsable principal: UNDP
Instituciones y Agentes participantes: The programme will be implemented by means of a joint
programme between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United
Nations Organisation for Food and Agriculture (FAO), the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP), the Pan-American Health Organisation (PAHO) and the Global
Environment Facility (GEF)-Small Grants Programme (SGP); coordinated and agreed
upon with their national counterparts, the respective local authorities, traditional
indigenous authorities, civil society and other relevant stakeholders
RESUMEN DEL PROYECTO:
The poor populations of rural areas in Panama are highly dependent on land and water resources
and are extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as drought and flooding. The
evidence (vulnerability studies) demonstrates that it is vital for Panama to implement measures to
adapt to, and mitigate climate change in order to reduce the vulnerability of its inhabitants,
particularly the poorest.
The programme will work on developing an Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy for the four priority
watersheds and will focus on the agriculture and forestry sectors since it is felt that that the
implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures could have a major impact on these
sectors.
The adaptation and mitigation measures to be implemented will include reducing land degradation
and promoting the optimal use of water resources. Soil degradation is reaching critical levels with
up to 27% of land classified as degraded, as a result of poor land management practices and land
use that is inconsistent with its biophysical characteristics. In addition, water resources are
threatened by the insufficient and inadequate treatment of solid and liquid waste, and by the rural

population’s inadequate access to water. Unsustainable land and water management practices
endanger the food security, health, and living conditions of rural populations.
The programme will benefit the country’s most vulnerable population groups, who lack the
strategies and resources to undertake concrete sustainable land and water management
measures.
The focus will be on four critical watersheds: Tuira and Chucunaque in Darién, Tabasara in the
Ngobe Buglé Territory and La Villa in Arco Seco. These have been chosen because of their high
levels of degradation and pressure on natural resources, as well as their extreme poverty. The
beneficiary population is estimated at 400,364 inhabitants, comprising 206,707 men and 193,657
women, according to the 2000 census.
The programme will incorporate a gender perspective, since women play an important role within
the community as well as in water supply, hygiene and food security within the home, and are
therefore highly vulnerable to many of the effects of climate change.
The programme is aligned with national environmental policies and programmes, including the
National Policy on Climate Change, the Panama National Action Plan on Combating Drought and
Desertification, the Policy on Integrated Water Resource Management, the Law on Watershed
Management, the National Environmental Strategy for 2008-2012 and the Strategic Vision for
Economic Development and Employment to the year 2009.
In addition, the programme also adopts the principles of the National Programme on Strengthening
Local Government and Supporting Decentralisation (2005-2009).
Moreover, it complements the outcomes of ongoing projects on adaptation and mitigation of
climate change, sustainable land use and integrated water resource management. The
programme includes many innovative elements with great potential for replication throughout the
region.
Although efforts have been made to define some of the parameters through the regional project,
“Building Capacities for Stage II Adaptation to Climate Change in Central America, Mexico and
Cuba”, the design and implementation of a Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy in
Panama would be an unprecedented achievement in Central America. The financial sustainability
of these efforts will be achieved by introducing payment for environmental services projects.
Moreover, the development of a methodology for forestry projects to apply to the Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) offers an important opportunity for this sector, as Panama does
not have any reforestation projects registered as a CDM.
The Programme promotes coordinated actions and synergies among the Conventions on Climate
Change, Desertification and Drought and Biological Diversity, with the aim of maximising national
efforts, as well as joint inter-agency work.
The lessons learnt from the Programme will be disseminated through publications and other media
so that the actions can be replicated in other watersheds of the country and in other countries. The
Programme will make a significant contribution to achieving the Millennium Development Goals,
principally Goal # 7 – Guaranteeing Environmental Sustainability – and Goal # 1 – Reducing
Extreme Poverty and Hunger.
Finally, the Programme’s activities are compatible with the goals of the ‘Red Iberoamericana de
Cambio Climático´ [Latin American Climate Change Network] (RIOCC) and the ´Programa
Iberoamericano de Cambio Climático’ [Latin American Climate Change Programme] (PIACC), to
which Panama belongs. Lastly, the Programme will contribute to the UNDAF Expected Outcome,
“Environmental Sustainability (water resources, biodiversity, forestry development, the stabilisation
of climate change and disaster prevention) strengthened with the support of regulatory
frameworks, national strategies and local action”, in the area of cooperation: “Social guarantees for
the exercise of human rights”.

OBJETIVO GENERAL: This UNDP, FAO, UNEP, PAHO/WHO and GEF-SGP joint programme will
promote the implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in vulnerable
populations through sustainable land management and optimal water use, particularly in the
agricultural and forestry sectors.
The programme will focus on areas with high levels of land degradation, pressure on land and
water resources, vulnerability to climate change and poverty. The overall aim of the programme is
to build the capacity to adapt to, and mitigate climate change in order to contribute to
environmental sustainability and poverty reduction in four priority watersheds in Panama. This will
be achieved through the development of an Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy and a Pilot Climate
Monitoring System, improvement of local management of land and water resources, and increased
access to sources of funding, thus contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation and to
the achievement of MDGs 1 and 7.
OBJETIVOS ESPECÍFICOS
Objetivo nº 1: Improving the Capacity to Adapt to Climate Change
METODOLOGÍA:
Outcome 1: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy and Pilot
Climate Monitoring System developed in order to integrate the issues of adaptation and
mitigation into development decisions at the national level. The Programme will increase
knowledge levels and improve the handling of the subjects of climate risk, adaptation and
mitigation and will ensure their integration into national development decisions through the
design of an Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy for the selected area, whose implementation
will commence with the Programme. This Strategy will be formulated on the basis of the body
of information available regarding climate vulnerability and recommended adaptation and
mitigation measures, and will apply the precautionary principle. The Strategy will represent the
result of a participative process involving key players. As part of the Strategy’s implementation,
Panama needs a methodology and a reliable system for monitoring climatic variables and the
effectiveness of the measures taken to reduce short, medium and long-term climate risks. This
will be achieved by establishing a Pilot Climate Monitoring System in the four priority
watersheds.
RESULTADOS ESPERADOS / OBTENIDOS: Output 1.1: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
Strategy formulated for four priority watersheds.
Output 1.2: Pilot Climate Monitoring System for reducing risks related to climate change
established in four priority watersheds
Objetivo nº 2: Improving the local management of environmental resources and the provision of
related services
METODOLOGÍA:
Outcome 2: Improved local management of land and water resources in order
to enhance capacity for climate change adaptation and mitigation. The sustainable
management of land and water in order to enhance climate change adaptation and mitigation
capacities will be reinforced by land use planning and the strengthening of local management
in the four watersheds. The programme will involve substantial capacity building with local
authorities, traditional indigenous authorities, grass-roots community organisations and
inhabitants (with special emphasis on the role of women) to increase the level of adoption of
adaptation and mitigation measures, such as, soil conservation techniques, sowing of droughtresistant crops, reforestation, agroforestry and protection of water sources. Pilot adaptation and
mitigation projects will be implemented in the programme’s four watersheds, in line with the
Strategy designed in Outcome 1.
RESULTADOS ESPERADOS / OBTENIDOS: Output 2.1 Land-use planning agreed and carried out in
the four priority watersheds with local authorities and traditional indigenous authorities.
Output 2.2 Strengthened capacity of local authorities, traditional indigenous authorities and
Regional Units of the National Environment Authority (ANAM) to manage land sustainably in
order to adapt to, and mitigate climate change in the four priority watersheds.

METODOLOGÍA:
Outcome 3: Increased access to funding to support measures for the
sustainable management of soil and water resources which are conducive to climate change
adaptation and mitigation. Improving capacity for adapting to and mitigating climate change
through sustainable land and water management will depend to a great extent on developing
means of sustainable funding. The programme looks to develop and implement payment for
environmental services projects in three of the priority watersheds, in addition to developing a
methodology to encourage the participation of the forestry sector in the Clean Development
Mechanism.

Institutional capacity at the national level will be strengthened to guide adaptation and mitigation
measures, through the development of an Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy and the
establishment of a Pilot Climate Monitoring System for reducing vulnerability and preventing risks.
At the local level, institutional capacity to manage productive activities so as to improve adaptation
and mitigation capacity will be increased.
A culture of climate risk prevention will be promoted in rural organizations working in the
agricultural and forestry sectors, increasing their capacity to apply climate change adaptation and
mitigation measures through the integrated management of water and soil resources at the
watershed level, using sustainable funding mechanisms.
