Accelerating Climate-Resilient Recovery 2020 2021 PROGRESS REPORT

The NAP Global Network's 2020-2021 progress report highlights its efforts to accelerate climate adaptation in developing countries, particularly LDCs and SIDS. Key achievements include supporting 20 countries with their first Adaptation Communications (ADCOMs), expanding short-term technical assistance via the Country Support Hub, and advancing thematic work on gender-responsive planning and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL). The Network's 2025 strategy focuses on transitioning from planning to implementation and enhancing inclusive, locally led adaptation.

• The Network experienced a significant shift in technical support demand, moving from long-term in-country programs toward a surge in short-term assistance through the Country Support Hub, with over 40 requests active at its peak in 2021.
• The NAP Global Network provided strategic support to 20 countries preparing their first Adaptation Communications (ADCOMs) to the UNFCCC, noting that these countries leveraged existing NAP processes to avoid creating parallel reporting systems.
• Analysis of NAP documents revealed that while 90% of completed NAPs reference insurance, there is limited attention to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), with only 52% of available NAP documents referencing these issues as of the end of 2020.
• The Network is prioritizing the transition from adaptation planning to implementation and the strengthening of monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems to improve accountability and transparency in national efforts.
• Efforts to enhance gender-responsive adaptation include a partnership with Lensational to use photojournalism to amplify the voices of underrepresented women in Ghana and Kenya, and the establishment of institutional ties between environment and women's ministries in Côte d’Ivoire.
