  1. Review of experiences to date of integrating climate change into development programming Simon Anderson

  2. Facilitated discussion • Presentations by participants and by facilitators • Irish Aid country programmes present their approaches to integration. • Developing country governments (based upon the GO group for climate mainstreaming convened by IIED).

  3. Key lessons on mainstreaming/ integration from other areas - Review of literature on mainstreaming gender, HIV/AIDS and environmental change • There is no blueprint approach to mainstreaming: tools and approaches need to respond to the specific country context and issue(s) • The three main approaches to mainstreaming are: • Integrationist - adding an issue to current development plans and policies without addressing inherent social inequalities and stated interests; • agenda setting – consultative, recognizes the marginalised voices; • transformative, radical change to the existing development agenda.

  4. Key lessons on mainstreaming/ integration from other areas - Review of literature on mainstreaming gender, HIV/AIDS and environmental change • Mainstreaming is an iterative process which does not necessarily follow a set of sequential steps • Strategic political will decisions on mainstreaming are taken at the top • Implementation design decisions should be taken at the lowest possible level of public authority, closest to the population concerned • Flexibility and adaptive management are key requirements • Organisational culture must break with old ways of thinking and acting, and accept and act on new concepts • Constraints identified: • lack of data, information, skills and institutional capacity to work on environment-development links; • lack of successful models; • and, lack of political will for change. • For most developing countries, mainstreaming both responds to – and is challenged by – competition with many other policy priorities in the face of limited resources
