Workshop on Aligning Climate Technology Actions with National Priorities for NDEs in Africa

1. Aligning climate technology actions with national priorities Training workshop for National Designated Entities (NDEs) in Africa Nairobi, Kenya 5-7 March 2014 Amath Pathe SENE, Regional Program Advisor UNDP-UNEP PEI Africa, Nairobi, Kenya

2. CTCN Functions and NDEs NDEs support the CTCN functions at national level by: Function 1 Leading and coordinating the formulation, selection and submission of requests Facilitating and monitoring the implementation of CTCN response assistance Function 2 Fostering collaboration and access to information and knowledge to accelerate climate technology transfer in the country Function 3 Strengthening networks, partnerships and capacity building for climate technology transfer in the country

3. Linking to national priorities • Requests to the CTCN should have a catalytic effect to: o Help create conditions for improved climate technology transfer service delivery in the country o Unlock public or private sector investment for climate technology deployment • NDEs should therefore: o Ensure political commitment for the request o Ensure consistency with national sustainable development strategies (NDPs, PRSPs, LEDS, NAPAs…) o Link the request to existing processes and opportunities donor/development partner interests, national investment plans…

4. Coherence and Alignment: Focusing on Results/national Priorities Function 1 Leading and coordinating the formulation, selection and submission of requests NATIONAL POLICIES/STRATEGIES Facilitating and monitoring the implementation of CTCN response assistance NATIONAL PLANS/BUDGETS Function 2 Fostering collaboration and access to information and knowledge to accelerate climate technology transfer in the country NATIONAL PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS Function 3 Strengthening networks, partnerships and capacity building for climate technology transfer in the country

5. Technologies to achieve Climate Resilient and Low Emissions Development • Technology Mechanism - to facilitate the implementation of enhanced action on technology development and transfer to support action on mitigation and adaptation. • CTCN - To build or strengthen developing country capacity to: – Identify technology needs, and – Facilitate the preparation and implementation of technology projects and strategies, – In support of action on mitigation and adaptation and enhance low emissions and climate-resilient development (LECRD).

6. Linking to national priorities GDP Emissions Sustainable Development/ Emissions NAMAs and the 2°C goal Zero carbon Economy in 2100 Transition to Low Carbon Development Carbon free development Planned development path LCD Vs NAMAs Time • DEVIATING DEVELOPMENT PATH TO CLIMATE RESILIENT AND LOW EMISSION

7. Connecting National Development to Climate Change Actions National Strategies/Plans Climatic Impacts Mitigation possibilities LECRD Devel. Plans CTCN Support Development Mitigation Priorities Adaptation priorities Climate Action Tech., capacity, & funding Needs Domestic Resource NAMAs NAPs Int'l cooperation Int'l support Climate Action IMPLEMENTATION

8. Identifying key entry points Key actors Key documents and processes • National requests to CTCN should meet two criteria – address climate change actions; and – embedded in national development context.

10. Mainstreaming CTCN Functions into national planning process National government and cross sectors mechanisms Sector Ministries Subnational Subnational Authorities Authorities consultations Planning budgeting implementation M&E Calendar

11. Mainstreaming CT issues and functions into national planning process National, Provincial and local administration discuss about plans and budgets ( NDE ) Plans and budget finalized and submitted to MF/planning 1 3 Propose to the MF ( internal Discussions for amendments) Mainstreaming CTCN Gov Planning Process 2 Implementation of the Policies documents with the annual budget ( NDE) PRSP/sector plans must be pass by the Ministry cabinet and the Budget must be pass by the parliament , or provincial council and municipal council 5 4

16. Synergies with PEI on Mainstreaming

17. Benefits and necessity of linking with national priorities • Engagement of a country and stakeholders is dependent to extent it address their priorities, which are primarily linked to national sustainable development goals. • Such linking is important in – mutual support and synergies with other policy targets and objectives – provides policy certainty, reduces investment risks, and continuous preferential policy treatment and support – buy in of stakeholders and ensure Less or no political barriers and uncertainties

18. Conclusions 1. Important that NDEs understand national processes ( policies, budgets, calendar, key institutions, working groups ) 2. Identify the key entry points and key people to partner with 3. Develop synergies with relevant project and initiatives to influence all planning processes 4. Work closely with MoF or Budget to improve cross coordination mechanism and budget allocation on CT transfers 5. Continuous capacity building to improve NDEs on planning processes
