Advancing Effective Adaptation 2021 - 2022 PROGRESS REPORT

The NAP Global Network's 2021-2022 progress report highlights its efforts to accelerate climate adaptation in the Global South through three main pillars: peer learning, technical assistance, and knowledge generation. Key achievements include the expansion of in-country support programs from two to nine, the launch of the NAP Trends platform, and the delivery of gender-responsive and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) focused summits. The Network reports steady progress toward its 2025 strategy targets, including support for least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing states (SIDS), while emphasizing the critical transition from adaptation planning to implementation.

• The NAP Global Network significantly expanded its longer-term technical assistance, increasing the number of in-country support programs from two in 2020–2021 to nine programs underway or in the scoping phase during the 2021-2022 period.
• Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) emerged as a dominant theme in both short-term and long-term technical support, with the Network working on MEL with 21 countries in 2022 to help track adaptation progress at the national level.
• The Network is making steady progress toward its 2025 strategy targets, having supported 17 new countries since June 2020 and ensuring that 44% of its in-country programs and 40.7% of Country Support Hub requests are directed toward least developed countries (LDCs).
• In 2022, the Network resumed in-person peer learning after pandemic-related pivots to virtual events, convening a Peer Learning Summit in Jamaica on gender-responsive NAP processes and a regional exchange in Botswana focused on MEL.
• The NAP Trends platform was launched in early 2022 to provide summaries and analysis of trends in NAP documents submitted to the UNFCCC, attracting over 3,000 users and informing the first technical dialogue of the Global Stocktake (GST).
• The Network implemented a pilot initiative with the social enterprise Lensational in Ghana and Kenya, using photography and storytelling to amplify the voices of underrepresented women and integrate their perspectives into national adaptation decision-making.
