2.1.7    Local organizations participate in capacity development exercises and training

Component 3: Global Learning and Knowledge Management System

Outcome 3: Knowledge from LAPs and landscape planning and management initiatives used to strengthen climate adaptation policies and strategies, as well as for improved adaptive management and stakeholder learning

Output 3.1: Development and implementation of a peer-to-peer learning and exchange programme at national and local levels for upscaling and adaptive management

Activities:
3.1.1    Landscape platforms discuss and agree context-specific learning and knowledge generation goals, outcomes and outputs and define relevant grant proposal formats and requirements for M&E and knowledge generation and dissemination;
3.1.2    Local organizations identify learning objectives into grant proposals consistent with landscape level learning and knowledge generation goals;  
3.1.3    Local organizations budget learning costs in grant proposal budgets;
3.1.4    Landscape platforms agree on and organize a system of peer-to-peer exchanges among groups and communities across the landscape, as well as with interested communities nationally; 
3.1.5    Local organizations reflect on project design and implementation experience and produce locally accessible reports and other material for distribution to peer organizations and others.

Output 3.2: Development of knowledge products from landscape planning and implementation experience and national, regional and global dissemination

Activities:
3.2.1    Identification by global programme staff in concert with NLACs of recurrent or common themes or priorities among landscape platforms, LAPs and grant initiatives for applied distillation of knowledge and information; 
3.2.2    Consensus selection and prioritization by NLACs of key topics (e.g. customary land tenure regulation; landscape or resource governance structures; market access issues; community CC indicators and early warning, etc.);
3.2.3    Compilation of information and knowledge regarding key topics, production of knowledge products, and development of a dissemination plan;
3.2.4    Knowledge products disseminated nationally, regionally and globally and stored on Learning and Knowledge Management system.

Outputs 3.3: Lessons learned and knowledge presented to influencers and policy makers in broader policy forums 
Activities:
3.3.1    Lessons learned and knowledge from LAP and grant project implementation is reviewed and assessed by NLACs and global programme staff for relevant policy contributions; 
3.3.2    NLACs identify key experiential knowledge for codification in policy briefs or other instruments;
3.3.3    UNDP, NLACs and global programme staff together produce a series of products for specific presentations to governments and regional bodies;
