This report provides an update on resource mobilization, describes the climate co-benefits provided by the ACBP portfolio, and details implementation progress by ACBP cluster and component. In addition, to better measure and monitor results and inform future project design, it reports on two new pieces of analysis undertaken this year: a review of the ACBP contribution to implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of Sub-Sharan Africa’s countries; and a review of the ACBP portfolio from the perspective of its contribution to resilience building (following the resiliencepathways approach).  See Less -
