Learning for Adaptation 2023 PROGRESS AND LEARNING REPORT

The NAP Global Network's 2023 report details its efforts to accelerate climate adaptation in developing countries through technical support, peer learning, and knowledge generation. Key achievements include supporting 41 countries with technical assistance, facilitating regional peer learning cohorts in Central America and West Africa, and advancing gender-responsive and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) frameworks. The Network is currently tracking progress toward its 2025 strategic targets, with significant success in expanding its Country Support Hub and In-Country NAP Support Programs.

• The NAP Global Network has significantly exceeded several of its 2025 strategic targets, specifically in national-level action. It has supported 22 In-Country NAP Support Programs (ICPs) since June 2020, surpassing the target of 3–5 per year, and processed 121 Country Support Hub (CSH) requests against a target of 75.
• Technical support in 2023 focused heavily on two themes: monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) and gender-responsive NAP processes. The Network provided MEL support to 16 countries, including Albania, Brazil, and Vietnam, and GESI (gender equality and social inclusion) support to CAR, Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, Nigeria, and Senegal.
• The Network identified three key lessons regarding MEL for NAPs: the need for stronger links between climate risk assessments and MEL systems, the criticality of integrating GESI considerations at the design stage, and the effectiveness of using a sectoral approach to pilot MEL systems before scaling up.
• Peer learning activities resumed in person following COVID-19 restrictions, featuring a global forum on vertical integration in Kenya, a regional event on risk and vulnerability assessments in Senegal, and the launch of a three-year Central American Peer Learning Cohort.
• The Network is increasingly focusing on the transition from planning to implementation, having already supported 12 countries in this phase, and is projecting to exceed its 2025 target of 15 countries.
• In 2023, the Network adopted a new whole-of-Network MEL framework based on five principles: learning-focused M&E, simplicity, comprehensiveness, understanding the Network's contributions, and flexibility.
