Coordinating Climate-Resilient Development

The NAP Global Network provides resources, policy analysis, and coordination platforms to help bilateral donors align their investments with the adaptation priorities of developing countries. The Network aims to reduce duplication of efforts and increase the effectiveness of official development assistance for climate adaptation, offering services such as 'NAP Assemblies' for joint implementation and peer learning workshops. A practical example of this coordination is cited in Cambodia, where USAID and GIZ collaborated to support the Ministry of Environment's NAP process.

• Bilateral donors provide a significant portion of official development assistance for adaptation, but there is a need for these investments to align with the priorities identified in National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes to avoid gaps and duplication.
• The NAP Global Network supports bilateral donors through technical resources, policy analysis linking NAPs to NDCs and SDGs, and coordination mechanisms like 'NAP Assemblies' and Targeted Topics Forum workshops.
• In Cambodia, USAID and GIZ (representing Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development) demonstrated coordinated support by organizing a joint programming mission to assist the Ministry of Environment with its NAP process.
• Developing countries have expressed a need for better coordination because the variety of adaptation programs from multiple partners can be duplicative and increase the workload for local counterparts.
