The twelve Sub-Saharan African countries included in this study are parties to the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement.

Challenges such as reliance on secondary data, lack of technical capacity, financial constraints, and the complexity of cross-sectoral implementation have hindered effective NDC delivery.

Eastern and Southern Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world to the impacts of climate change, with two of the most affected countries and four out of the ten most affected countries globally in 2019. The extent of exposure and adaptive capacity varies both within and across communities, depending heavily on intersections of socio-economic status, socio-cultural norms, and access to resources.
