Progress and Learning Report 2024

The NAP Global Network's 2024 report details its progress in supporting developing countries with National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes through technical assistance, South-South peer learning, and knowledge production. The Network has supported 70 countries to date, with over 60% of technical assistance directed toward Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Key 2024 achievements include the launch of a new peer learning strategy, the publication of over 180 knowledge products, and the implementation of a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework. The report highlights specific 'stories of change' in countries like Costa Rica, Rwanda, and Côte d’Ivoire, demonstrating the transition from planning to implementation and the integration of gender and social inclusion.

• The NAP Global Network has achieved significant reach over its first decade, providing technical assistance to 70 countries and facilitating peer learning for 80 developing countries. More than 60% of its technical assistance has been targeted at least developed countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
• The Network has largely exceeded its 2025 strategic targets in several areas: it has supported 30 new countries with technical assistance since June 2020, assisted 17 countries in transitioning from planning to implementation, and published over 180 knowledge products.
• In 2024, the Network expanded its peer learning model to include regional cohorts and its first 1:1 peer learning partnership, such as the collaboration between Namibia and Zambia focused on the transition from planning to implementation.
• Technical support mechanisms in 2024 included the short-term Country Support Hub (CSH), which completed 125 requests all-time, and long-term In-Country NAP Support Programs (ICPs), with 12 active programs in 2024.
• The Network's knowledge products have a high rate of adoption; 53% of multi-sector NAPs submitted to the UNFCCC as of December 2024 mention the NAP Global Network or its Secretariat (IISD), and 39% cite at least one of its knowledge products.
• Case studies demonstrate tangible impacts of the Network's support: Costa Rica secured USD 3.5 million for water reservoirs after a successful pilot, and Rwanda attracted USD 29 million from the Climate Investment Funds for the Resilient Landscapes and Communities in Kaduha-Gitwe Corridor project following the operationalization of a MEL system.
• The Network identified several key thematic lessons in 2024, including the need for dedicated communication strategies to engage finance and sector ministries, and the utility of the NAP Costing Tool (developed with Fiji) to help countries estimate implementation costs and mobilize finance.
