  • Bill Dougherty
  • Stockholm Environment Institute Boston Center
  • Manila April 2004

2
Background
  • APF Phase I (2001-2004)
  • Robust framework to apply in adaptation
    assessment
  • Strategy for strengthening capacity to
    effectively use the framework
  • APF Phase II (2004-2006)
  • Focussed on providing support/new resources for
    implementation of APF
  • Near-term need for strategy to foster continuous
    professional development, learning networks, etc.

3
Approach
  • APF Phase II will focus on supporting
    Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for
    adaptation policy development and implementation.

4
CPD vs. Training
  • Client
  • Customized material for distinct professional
    groups
  • Locally-owned outcomes
  • Longer duration/time horizon
  • Stronger feedback/ evaluation mechanisms
  • Trainee
  • Delivery of more uniform package
  • Globally similar outputs
  • Shorter duration/time horizon
  • Weaker feedback/ evaluation mechanisms

5
Premises of CPD Strategy
  • Comprehensive offerings
  • Customization of CPD packages
  • Responsive feedback mechanism
  • Non-static, evolving components
  • Emphasis on sharing learning resources (not
    uni-directional training)
  • Locally-owned outcomes
