The evaluation of Burkina Faso's 2015-2020 National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (NAP) found that 67% of planned actions were either completed or in progress, though the average physical completion rate was lower at 49%. While institutional capacity building (Strategic Area 1) saw a 93% completion rate, sectors like housing and infrastructure and cross-cutting areas for women and civil society struggled significantly due to poor resource mobilisation and a lack of institutional leadership. Key physical achievements included the Zagtouli solar power plant and extensive land recovery, but the report highlights critical failures in monitoring, evaluation, and gender-disaggregated data collection.

The evaluation of Burkina Faso's 2015–2020 National Adaptation Plan (NAP) reveals a mixed record of implementation. While 67% of planned actions were either completed or are ongoing, the overall physical realization rate stands at 49%. Success was highest in the livestock (75%) and water (84%) sectors, while gender-related and civil society actions saw 0% completion due to a lack of institutional leadership. Key barriers included insufficient financial resource mobilization, security instability, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The report recommends strengthening institutional accountability, improving resource mobilization strategies, and better integrating gender and civil society into future adaptation frameworks.
