Accelerating Climate-Resilient Recovery 2020 2021 PROGRESS REPORT

The NAP Global Network's 2020-2021 report highlights a shift toward short-term technical assistance via its Country Support Hub and a focus on transitioning from adaptation planning to implementation. Key achievements include supporting 20 countries with their first Adaptation Communications (ADCOMs), facilitating peer learning on gender-responsive action and conflict-sensitive planning, and developing knowledge products on climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI). The Network's 2025 strategy emphasizes enhancing monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems and elevating underrepresented voices, particularly women, in adaptation decision-making.

• The Network experienced a significant increase in demand for rapid, flexible technical assistance through its Country Support Hub (CSH), with over 40 requests active at their peak in 2021, which is more than all previous years combined.
• The NAP Global Network supported 20 countries in developing their first-ever Adaptation Communications (ADCOM) to the UNFCCC, noting that these countries strategically used existing NAP processes to synthesize achievements and needs rather than creating parallel processes.
• Analysis of completed NAPs indicates that while insurance is the most common climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI) solution identified, there are still significant opportunities to integrate and scale these solutions through NAP processes.
• Research into the intersection of health and adaptation found that while governments prioritize the health sector in NAP processes, there has been limited attention given to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in overarching NAP documents.
• The Network is prioritizing the transition from planning to implementation and the strengthening of monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems to improve accountability and transparency in national adaptation efforts.
• To increase the inclusion of marginalized women in decision-making, the Network partnered with Lensational to provide participatory photography and storytelling training in Ghana and Kenya.
