• Feeding results into the preparation of their national climate targets (Nationally Determined Contributions)
• Feeding results into the preparation of their National Communications, e.g., regarding identification of key sectors and measures

Strengthening national budgeting

• Using the results to refine national budgetary planning, making it more efficient and strategizing the share going towards climate action.

Making a business case for climate finance

• Following up on potential partnerships, reaching out to organizations that attended the final dialogue, including regional development banks
• Developing a proposal to the Adaptation Fund and other international funding institutions

Using I&FF assessments as a continued planning tool

• Continuously tracking finance going to climate action and NDC implementation
• Identifying further key sectors that would benefit from I&FF assessments and fundraising for them nationally and internationally

Fostering inter-agency collaboration

• Establishing or strengthening inter-ministerial committees on climate change
• Integrating the results into the national Climate Change agencies and using the results for National Action Plans and National Development Plans

Informing policy making

• Developing a national strategy for mitigation and climate change risk management
• Development of norms and standards for energy efficiency and improving water resources management, which will be integrated into the legislative framework

Enhancing participation in international negotiations

• Briefing their national climate change negotiators on the results and actions
