UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Funding Netherlands governmentNetherlands government Impementing agency UNEP through UCCEEUNEP through UCCEE

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Overall goal Enable developing countries to access CDM projects through capacity developmentEnable developing countries to access CDM projects through capacity development Project duration: 4 years;; Project duration: 4 years;;

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Guiding realities Potential CDM activities/projects In the shorter term Africa will get a very small share of CDM projects (approx 3%) Africa has low emissions Transaction costs associated with small scale projects are quite high Africa needs to develop

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Phased approach Phase 1: development of work plan Phase 2: implementation of work plan

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Process and Current status of project in SSA B: Contracts made with NC & RC for development of work plan C: Drafts from countries discussed at national workshops except in Cote d’ivoire A: Initial visits in all countries in July 2002 by UCCEE and Regional Centre Where are we?

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Regional workshop objectives a)Identify gaps in work plans and strategies to fill these b)Identify synergies accross work plans to determine most effective implementation strategy c)Clarify strategies for implementation of work plans

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment What should be in the work plan? Effective and realistic strategy on how capacity can be developed to enable access to CDM

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment What should be the structure of work plan? Reflect the structure used in generic work plan But content should reflect country needs Simple and easy to access

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Objective 1: Sensitize government support for the CDM Generic work plan contents Objective 2: Develop capacity of policy makers Objective 3: Establish institutional framework for the CDM projects Objective 4: Strengthen capabilities of the public and private sectors (based on envisaged role in CDM) Objective 5: Establish a pipeline of the CDM projects

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment SSA approach to work plan Contexualisation Geography and econ dev Exposure to CDM and CC activities Access to CC mechanisms Development objectives Specificity Rather than generic Functional goal oriented

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Illustration of approach Objective 2: Develop capacity of policy makers FOR WHAT? Objective 1: establish and capacitate DNA Objective 4: Strengthen capabilities of the public and private sectors FOR WHAT? (OVERLAPS WITH OBJ 2?) Objective 2: capacitate project developers and prepare pipeline of projects ((So capacility strenghthened for intitutional activities (DNA) and project development))

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Work plan FORMAT Objective 1: establish and capacitate DNA Output 1: DNA is established and capacitated Specific obj 1.1 : identify DNA Coordinating Institution and composition Activities 1.1 : : Hold a consultative workshop to identify DNA Coordinating Institution and composition (a discussion on this- an in present documents) specific Output 1.1: DNA members and roles identified Timing: WHEN? – TIME BLOCK Implementation 1.1: WHO?- it is uccee, local consultant or regional centre?

UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment Expected Workshop Outputs a)Clear strategy on how to finalise work plans b)Time flame on when work plans will be completed c) Overview of work plan implementation strategy
