Background
The year 2024 was quite important for Anglophone Africa countries as they stepped into the active phase of developing their first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR), which includes reporting on their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC Tracking), Mitigation and Adaptation Measures, Support Needed and Received. 

In 2024, the CBIT-GSP Regional Network for Anglophone Africa carried out numerous capacity building events for transparency, including peer-to-peer learning experiences, regional and country-based training, learning  sessions, and webinars – both online and in-person. 

The Anglophone Africa Network 2024 annual meeting will focus on showcasing the key results and achievements from activities in 2024, discussing the effectiveness of the activities, how they have helped the countries to refine their reporting process under the Paris Agreement, and what lessons the countries have learned from the support provided by CBIT-GSP and in collaboration with other partner organizations. The annual meeting will also plan for future activities to be implemented in 2025 and discuss areas of support based on the current needs of the countries 
of Anglophone Africa. 

Objective
The main objective of the Annual Meeting of the Anglophone Africa Network is to assess progress 
on implementing the 2024 workplan, and to present and discuss the draft workplan with  proposed activities for 2025. The participants are expected to discuss and jointly agree on proposed network activities in 2025. 

Target Audience and Language
The annual meeting will gather all network members, including Coordinators/managers of enabling 
activities, CBIT and other transparency projects, transparency practitioners, and national climate focal 
points.
