Despite their similar objectives, establishing linkages between NAPs and PRSPs constitutes a challenge.

(a) Support for NAP preparation in countries of the subregion still without NAPs

When we were at Saratoga I didn't notice any Yankee girls taking naps.

The NAPS project was concluded in the middle of 2002 with a final report.

Several reports include paragraphs indicating that NAPs fit in perfectly with poverty reduction strategies.

Participatory approach Many countries report workshops and community involvement in the preparation of their NAPs.

Second NAPS progress report (Parliamentary Papers, House of Representatives 2001 2002, 26 690, no. 11).

The linkage between NAPs and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PSRPs) constitutes a major challenge.

(c) In the northern Mediterranean, four of the eleven affected countries have completed their NAPs.

Some of these countries need support to update their NAPs and implement their priority areas of action.

The development partners seem reluctant to support the new projects and programmes set out in the NAPs.

For the interactive dialogue on mainstreaming of national action programmes (NAPs) and their contribution to overall poverty eradication, a background document highlighting the relationship between, and proposing options for, mainstreaming NAPs and the poverty reduction strategy papers (PRSPs), was provided.
