Madagascar's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is led by the Ministry of climate risk management and utilizes a participatory, inclusive, and intersectoral approach. The process is guided by a validated roadmap and supported by coordination and monitoring and evaluation committees. Priority adaptation sectors include agriculture, water resources, infrastructure, forests and biodiversity, human health, and coastal zone management, addressing risks such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, sea level rise, and epidemics.

This document is a resubmitted Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) from Hillside Aluminium (Pty) Ltd to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), dated August 20, 2018. The resubmission follows a rejection of the initial June 21, 2018, filing due to missing pages and incorrect 2016 emission data. The report describes the aluminium production process at the Richards Bay facility and outlines a commitment to implement environmental projects over a five-year period.

The IDP Roadmap describes the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) as a five-year municipal planning tool designed to ensure sustainable service delivery, social and economic development, and a safe and healthy environment. The process consists of six phases: Pre-Planning (July–August), Needs Analysis (Sept–Nov), Strategy Development (Dec–Jan), Project Identification & Prioritisation (Feb–Mar), Integration (Mar–Apr), and Approval (Apr–May), followed by an annual review. It requires coordinated participation from municipal officials, council, councillors, communities, the private sector, and provincial and national government.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) developed a collaborative, technologically agnostic monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for four IKEA Foundation grantee partners—One Acre Fund, Practical Action, SELCO Foundation, and Rainforest Alliance—under the Good Cause Campaign (GCC). The framework utilizes an Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) approach and the Energy Delivery Model to track impacts across poverty reduction, education, livelihoods, and health. To ensure data uniformity across diverse projects, WRI identified five 'enablers': reliability and affordability, technology suitability, market outreach, product and services, and a market-linked ecosystem. The framework measures specific parameters including reduced CO2 emissions, decreased energy expenditure, increased study hours, and expanded health service hours.
