Country Support Hub Frequently Asked Questions

The Country Support Hub (CSH), launched in 2016, offers free expert advice and short-term technical support to developing countries registered with the NAP Global Network. Support is available for various stages of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process, including planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional arrangements. Technical support is typically limited to a maximum of six months and a budget of under USD 30,000 per request, with a preference for hiring local consultants. The CSH also provides assistance in aligning NAPs with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and strengthening Green Climate Fund (GCF) proposals.

• The Country Support Hub (CSH) provides two primary forms of assistance to developing countries: virtual expert advice from the Network Secretariat or a global roster of experts, and targeted in-country technical support to address short-term gaps in the NAP process.
• Technical support provided by the CSH is designed to be short-term and complementary to other bilateral development partners, with a maximum duration of six months and a typical budget of less than USD 30,000 per request.
• The CSH offers specific support for integrating the NAP process with other climate and development frameworks, such as preparing the adaptation component of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and improving Green Climate Fund (GCF) proposals through analysis of criteria like gender mainstreaming.
• Eligibility for CSH support requires the requesting party to be a registered NAP Global Network participant and a representative of a developing country government or a key organization involved in the NAP process.
