  1. Capacity need • The Capacity Needs Assessment (CNA) was planned, organized and conducted under the auspices of the Climate TRAP Project. The purpose of the assessment was to determine operational capacity needs in providing leadership and coordination, monitoring and implementing activities related to the response to climate change in the public health sector.

  3. When to conduct a capacity needs assessment? This CNA is used for the analysis of capacity-strengthening needs before climate change surprises the public health sector with a substantial impact on the health of the general population. The assessment of needs should not stop after the initial phase. It is a continuous and iterative process, so best considered as part of an ongoing management and programming process.
