Building Resilience to Global Risks 2019-2020 PROGRESS REPORT

The NAP Global Network provided technical assistance to 27 developing countries and responded to 40 Country Support Hub requests between 2019 and 2020. The Network emphasizes the role of NAPs as roadmaps for resilient recovery from COVID-19, particularly in health, water, and agriculture sectors. Key achievements include the finalization of Peru's first NAP, the development of private sector engagement strategies in Viet Nam, Ghana, and Saint Lucia, and the implementation of nature-based solutions in Fiji. The report also highlights the integration of gender-responsive approaches and the establishment of monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems across various partner nations.

• The NAP Global Network provided technical assistance to 27 developing countries during the 2019-2020 period, completing 14 requests through its Country Support Hub, which is a record high for the organization.
• The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the potential for NAPs to serve as roadmaps for resilient recovery, as NAPs already identify vulnerable populations and establish institutional arrangements for climate resilience.
• Analysis of all published NAPs indicates that health is consistently prioritized as a sector for adaptation, and 100% of completed NAPs include both agriculture and health as priority sectors, as well as the importance of ecosystems.
• The Network supported several countries in developing private sector engagement strategies, including Ghana, Saint Lucia, and Viet Nam, the latter of which launched its strategy in 2020 alongside its first NAP.
• Specific national achievements include Peru finalizing its first NAP, Colombia piloting an early warning system for the water sector in Guatavita, and Saint Lucia securing USD 10 million from the Adaptation Fund for its agricultural sector.
• An independent evaluation of five years of U.S. support found that the Network exceeded its grant agreement targets, including training 3,303 people (against a target of 2,069) and supporting 222 institutions (against a target of 129).
