Coordinating Climate-Resilient Development

The NAP Global Network provides a framework for developing countries to accelerate national adaptation planning (NAP) through peer learning, technical support, and donor coordination. The Network facilitates Targeted Topics Forums (TTFs) and South-South exchanges to share best practices on issues such as financing and sectoral integration. It also operates a Country Support Hub for expert advice and works to align bilateral donor investments with national priorities to avoid duplication of efforts.

• The NAP Global Network facilitates sustained peer learning through Targeted Topics Forums (TTFs) and South-South exchanges. TTFs involve peer groups of 8-10 developing countries focusing on technical areas such as financing NAP implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and the integration of adaptation into sectoral planning.
• The Network's Country Support Hub provides free expert advice and short-term in-country technical assistance to maintain momentum in NAP processes. Examples of this support include engaging a local consultant in Morocco to build support for the country's NAP Road Map and providing a three-day training course on vulnerability and adaptation assessments in Botswana.
• The Network works to enhance bilateral support by aligning donor investments with in-country priorities and coordinating between different donors to prevent duplication. In the Caribbean, the Network collaborated with the UNDP-Japan Caribbean Climate Change Program to host a regional workshop for 10 countries to share lessons from Jamaica and Grenada.
• Peer exchanges have led to specific policy and institutional improvements in participating countries. For instance, Grenada increased the representation of the private sector and civil society on its National Climate Change Committee after attending a TTF on financing, and Albania utilized insights from the Philippines' People's Survival Fund to understand how to channel adaptation funds to sub-national actors.
