Building Momentum for Adaptation Action 2018-2019 PROGRESS REPORT

The NAP Global Network's 2018-2019 progress report outlines its efforts to enhance national adaptation planning in developing countries through peer learning, technical assistance, and donor coordination. Key achievements include supporting Fiji's first NAP launch, facilitating gender-responsive planning in Africa, and promoting private sector engagement in Ghana, Saint Lucia, and Vietnam. The Network provided technical support to 33 countries this year and continues to focus on aligning NAPs with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to foster climate-resilient development.

• The NAP Global Network expanded its reach in 2018-2019, connecting over 1,000 individual members from 140 countries and providing technical assistance to 33 countries during the reporting year.
• The Network focused its knowledge production on three primary themes: private sector engagement, gender-responsive NAP processes, and the alignment between NAPs and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) processes.
• In Africa, the Network collaborated with the UNFCCC's Adaptation Committee and Least Developed Countries Expert Group to create a toolkit for gender-responsive NAP processes and conducted gender analyses in six countries: Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Guinea-Conakry, Madagascar, and Togo.
• The Network supported the development of private sector engagement strategies for NAPs in Ghana, Saint Lucia, and Vietnam, noting that private sector actors in tourism, water, infrastructure, and agriculture are increasingly open to the business case for adaptation investment.
• Efforts to align NAPs and NDCs were supported in Grenada, Nepal, and Peru, with the finding that NDCs provide high-level direction while NAPs provide the detailed strategies for implementation.
• The Network promotes the use of 'NAP Frameworks' as strategic milestones for countries in early stages of planning; during the year, Malawi, Peru, and Sierra Leone finalized their frameworks, while Botswana, Nigeria, and Vanuatu began developing them.
• Peer learning was delivered through the final Targeted Topics Forum (TTF) involving 13 countries in Tanzania and a Peer Learning Summit in Rotterdam supported by the Netherlands.
• Specific national achievements included the launch of Fiji's first National Adaptation Plan at COP 24 and the endorsement of Kiribati's updated Joint Implementation Plan (KJIP) 2019-2028.
• The Network facilitates donor coordination to avoid duplication and maximize impact, exemplified by the sequenced support from Canada (2017-2018) and the United States (2018-2019) for Fiji and Kiribati.
