What does the NAP Global Network offer bilateral donors?

The NAP Global Network provides a platform for bilateral donors to coordinate support for National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), facilitating peer learning and joint financing to better align international aid with the priorities of developing countries.

• The NAP Global Network aims to improve bilateral support for the NAP process by facilitating peer learning, supporting national-level action, and enhancing donor coordination for adaptation and climate-sensitive sectors.
• Bilateral donors face a demand from developing countries for better coordination because multiple adaptation programs are often confusing, duplicative, and increase the workload for partner country counterparts.
• Bilateral support represents a significant portion of adaptation-related Official Development Assistance (ODA); in 2013, the OECD reported it was three times higher than multilateral adaptation-related ODA.
• The Network offers bilateral donors three specific coordination and learning opportunities: increasing awareness of other actors' activities to fill gaps and avoid duplication, aligning support with the priorities of developing countries, and exploring joint financing options for the NAP process.
• An example of effective coordination is seen in Cambodia, where USAID and GIZ (representing Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development) collaborated to fund the Ministry of Environment's NAP process through a joint programming mission.
