Supporting Global Adaptation Action

The NAP Global Network provided technical assistance to over 30 countries between November 2017 and November 2018, focusing on seven key themes including financing, gender, and monitoring and evaluation. The Network facilitated peer learning through Targeted Topics Forums and South-South exchanges, and worked to align bilateral donor support with national priorities, notably through a Donor Symposium in Barbados.

• The NAP Global Network delivered technical assistance to more than 30 countries and saw a three-fold increase in requests for short-term technical support via its Country Support Hub during the 2017-18 period.
• The Network focuses its support on seven key themes to advance effective NAP processes: financing NAP processes, gender, monitoring and evaluation, NDC-NAP alignment, sector integration, strategic communications, and vertical integration.
• Peer learning is facilitated through three primary mechanisms: Targeted Topics Forums (TTFs) using a cohort approach, the South-South Peer Exchange Program, and the newly launched Peer Learning Summits, which offer a more flexible format than the cohort-based TTFs.
• The Network actively promotes gender-responsive NAP processes, which require recognizing gender differences in adaptation needs, ensuring equitable participation in decision-making, and providing equitable access to financial resources.
• To address funding gaps and poor donor coordination, the Network acts as a platform to align bilateral programs with national priorities, exemplified by a Donor Symposium in Barbados where 19 donors coordinated support for Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
• In-country technical support programs have led to specific milestones, such as Fiji moving from a NAP framework to a nationally validated NAP document endorsed by its Cabinet in November 2018, and Saint Lucia developing Sectoral Adaptation Strategies and Action Plans (SASAPs) for agriculture and fisheries.
