Introduction INTRODUCTION In response to decision 5/CP.15, paragraphs (a-c) of the its terms of reference, the CGE agreed at its first meeting on 29 to 31 March 2010, to collect information on: Difficulties, challenges, technical problems, and constraints faced by NAI Parties in preparing their Nat. Com. in using the UNFCCC guidelines (Paragraph 2(a) and 2(b)); Sustaining the national communication process and maintaining national technical teams (Paragraph 2(c)). Presentation on the results of Survey 2: Collection of information on problems related to the sustainability of the national communications process and maintenance of national technical teams for the preparation of national communication including GHG inventories, on a continuous basis

Survey Design SURVEY SURVEY DESIGN The survey contained four parts: a.Part 1: Background Information; b.Part 2: Institutional Concerns and solutions; c.Part 3: Financial concerns and solutions; and d.Part 4: GHG inventory Software.

Analysis of the Results - Respondents RESPONDENTS RESPONSES TO THE SURVEY Feedback 89.8% NAI Party Country and 10.2% Multilateral or bilateral organizations 39 respondents from 25 countries have responded to Survey 2 (as of 22 December 2010) 78.6% in the process of preparing SNC; 4.8% preparing the INC and 14.3% preparing NC3. Number of States Given: RegionTotal number of states Over 50% Response Rate Over80% Response Rate Number of states responded to Survey 2 Percentage Responded within Region African States % Asian States % Eastern European States % Latin American and Caribbean States % Western European States % Total %

Analysis of the Results – Institutional Concerns 31.4% of the respondents found it moderately difficult to build on their previous experience on working and reporting their national communication 17.1% of the respondents had no difficulties on using their previous experience working on national communications. INSTITUTIOAL CONCERNS BUILDING ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE Building on existing procedures and organizational experience from the sections or tasks related to the previous national communications

Analysis of the Results – Institutional Concerns INSTITUTIOAL CONCERNS BUILDING ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE Usefulness of types of helpful technical assistance and support

Analysis of the Results – Institutional Concerns RECOMMENDATIONS Need for Data Base institutional setting for the climate change issues; Financial, legal and managerial support; Processing the data according to the UNFCCC guidelines; Establishment of systematic protocols of data collection, management and sharing among; and Integrating climate change into specific work programmes. INSTITUTIONAL CONCERNS SUSTAINIBILITY OF NATIONAL TEAMS KEY CHALLENGES Coordination of processes between different Ministries; Access to activity data; Changes in national administration structures; Preparing of Nat. Com. project-basis; Funding limitation; Staff involved in multiple tasks; Teams disbanded after concluding nat. com - a different team may be contracted for new one; Limited technical capacity; Difficult to maintain highly qualified staff due to insufficient incentives; and Limited long-term job opportunity.

Analysis of the Results – Institutional Concerns INSTITUTIONAL CONCERNS NATIONAL GHG INVENTORY Building on Level of difficulty/ease in completing the National GHG Inventory section

Analysis of the Results – Financial Concerns FINANCIAL CONCERNS OVERALL RESULTS Potential financial difficulties constraining ability to sustain nat. com. process and/or build and maintain a nat. com. team

Analysis of the Results – Financial Concerns FINANCIAL CONCERNS OVERALL RESULTS Usefulness of technical assistance and support to address financial and funding concerns

Analysis of the Results – Financial Concerns RECOMMENDATIONS Successive funding of the nat. com. to maintain Technical Teams; Delay leaves gap for team to find other work; Budget for international consultants needs to be increased and based on current rates; Stimulation for the involvement of public servants (apart of independent consultants); and Establishment of institutional structures and support mechanisms FINANCIAL CONCERNS KEY CHALLENGES Economic climate; Government budget cuts; Delays in disbursement of funds from implementing agencies; Costs of international consultants; Exchange rate; Insufficient funds to pay coordinator and technical advisers; GEF allocates funds without addressing specific needs and circumstances of countries; and Co-funding.

Analysis of the Results – GHG Software Use UNFCCC GHG inventory software were 45.9% and 18.9% using earlier version; Consultants hired to complete the GHG inventory; Difficulty in entering data in software in new software; Some NAI Parties observed that the current software was not working well; and there has been no sufficient reason to explain this problem. GHG SOFTWARE OVERALL RESULTS

Conclusion CONCLUSION Obtaining sufficient and consistent funding for maintaining the NC team was a major concern for Parties; Sustaining national teams require regular funds from GEF and other sources; Delays in disbursement of funds from implementing agencies a financial concern; Allocation of funds for Nat. Com. preparation was based on top down approach without addressing specific needs and circumstances of a Party; The use of GHG software has been a problem for a number of Parties. Results obtained can be used to contribute to technical advice to non-Annex parties to facilitate the development and long term sustainability of processes, and establishment and maintenance of national technical teams
