Potential capacity building and technology transfer actions in support of Adaptation (A) and Mitigation (M) efforts across the different sectors covered in this document are presented in Table 12. Table 12: Actions for capacity building and technology transfer Proposed action A M Introducing irrigation technologies, including the development of micro-systems for drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting X  New approaches to combating soil erosion X  Processing and conserving agricultural products X  Researching and applying climate-ready crop varieties X  Beach nourishment as a response to sea level rise X  Education, training, and public awareness of climate risks X  Promoting the use of biogas as a substitute for wood X  Producing biofertilizer as a substitute for chemical fertilizers  X Development and use of renewable energy technologies  X Use of energy efficient appliances  X Building the capacity of the private sector for energy efficiency initiatives  X Strengthening disaster preparedness and early warning systems X  Developing climate-resilient energy systems X  Strengthening the capacity of health system institutions X  Developing technical capacity to manufacture energy-efficient cook stoves  X Introducing standards for energy-efficient infrastructure  X Expanding sustainable forest management and reforestation efforts  X Reducing deforestation, including through building capacity for fire control  X Strengthening degraded land rehabilitation  X Climate-proofing infrastructure and housing X  Designing systems for increased and sustainable access to freshwater resources X  Enhancing knowledge on surface and groundwater management X  Designing a national REDD MRV mechanism  X Developing a nationally appropriate mitigation action for the transport sector  X Improving and expanding public transportation  X Building capacity for waste collection, transportation, and treatment  X Improving data generation, collection, and analysis X X   7.3 Public engagement This NDC will build upon strategies in the National Climate Communications Strategy, which seeks to: ● Improve awareness and understanding of the Government of Sierra Leone’s climate change adaptation initiatives and the NAP process through effective communication, education and training ● Promote an inclusive and participatory approach to adapting to climate change so that the Government of Sierra Leone can unite under a common vision and speak with one voice on the issue of addressing climate change impacts ● Generate support and political commitment among key decision-makers for the NAP process and for prioritizing, managing and resourcing efforts to address climate change adaptation issues ● Persuade the general public and the private sector of the need for a significant and timely investment in climate change adaptation from both public and private sources within and outside of Sierra Leone ● Encourage Sierra Leoneans to collectively embark on activities to strengthen the country’s resilience to climate change  The strategy was developed as part of the NAP Global Network’s second programme of support to Sierra Leone with the aim of providing short- and mid-term guidance on how the government can use communications strategically and effectively to support the NAP process.
Capacity building and technology transfer for:
Developing a nationally appropriate mitigation action for the transport sector 
Improving and expanding public transportation
