Abstract
The Next Generation Africa Climate
Business Plan (NGACBP), launched in 2020, provides a
platform to further galvanize climate action by prioritizing
its focus on Sub Saharan Africa’s development challenges and
priorities. The plan focuses on food security, energy, and
environmental and water security while also proactively
supporting countries to manage climate shocks and harness
the urban transition through climate smart pathways as core
strategic directions. Strategic areas of emphasis include
the cross-cutting issues of climate-informed macroeconomic
policies and green and resilient infrastructure. Two years
after the plan’s release, this progress report aims to
provide an update on the status of the NG-ACBP, highlighting
key accomplishments and success stories, defining emerging
areas of engagement, and setting out a roadmap for the next
four years of the plan’s delivery. The latter is especially
important as we ensure full alignment with the International
Development Association (IDA) 20 policy commitments, the
World Bank’s Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP), and regional
priorities for Eastern and Southern Africa (AFE) and Western
and Central Africa (AFW).
