Damage and losses from such disasters are however the consequence of human action. The National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) for Sierra Leone has been prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Aviation (MTA), as a response to the decision of the Seventh Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP7) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The preparation process has followed the generic guiding principles outlined in the NAPA annotated Guideline according to the project coordinator. The whole preparation process was guided by the high powered Project Steering Committee headed by the Chairman, Director of the Environment, of the Ministry of Lands, Country Planning and the Environment. The basic approach to NAPA preparation was in consonance with the sustainable development goals and objectives of the country where it has recognized the necessity of addressing environmental issues and natural resource management with the participation of stakeholders.
