Clear implementation pathways turn climate ambition into lasting impact.
SSA works with African institutions to design, strengthen, and operationalise national, sectoral and subnational frameworks that translate long-term climate scenarios and commitments into prioritized action plans and financing pathways.
Informed by integrated risk and impact analysis, our team supports the development and update of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS), climate finance strategies, and sector-specific adaptation and mitigation frameworks.
Our approach deliberately connects climate and economic scenarios to policies and strategies, then to investment prioritization, planning and pipelines.
We also help governments embed climate considerations into core development systems — strengthening governance, inter-institutional coordination, climate-responsive budgeting, and developing MRV and M&E frameworks aligned with international climate finance standards.
Our work helps partners to:
- Align climate objectives with national development priorities
- Develop robust planning based on long-term transition scenarios
- Identify priority sectors, programming opportunities and investment pipelines
- Develop investment plans and identify financing pathways
- Strengthen institutional coordination and accountability
