COHERENCE EXCEEDS CAPACITY

Actions To Achieve This Level

Provide written terms of reference for ACE National Focal Points allocating more than 50% of their time to ACE functions, and sustained funding to perform sensibilization of agencies, civil society engagement and international networking

Appoint an ACE Youth National Focal Point with clear roles and decision-making power to support ACE National efforts alongside the ACE NFP. Select an ACE Team of 5 to 10 investigators/consultants with broad knowledge across the six elements to establish a work plan and budget to support the ACE NFP and the planning process for developing the national strategy. This team includes diverse, gender-mixed, intergenerational, and relevant agencies and civil society organizations representatives with decision-making power on the national ACE agenda, strategies, and plans.

Design and implement an ACE National Strategy in a participatory, inclusive, and balanced manner, providing a mechanism for sustained efforts, considering interlinkages with economic, social, and environmental climate-relevant policies. Coordinate ACE at a high level to mobilize, resolve policy conflicts and promote synergies and consistency through effective communication mechanisms for horizontal coordination (consult and share information with sectoral planning agencies) and vertical coordination (consult and share information with subnational governments - regions, cities, municipalities, agencies-).
