nap-gsp cambodia stocktaking mission debriefing

Friday, 28th February 2014

Ministry of Environment,

Climate Change Department meeting room

Debriefing of the joint NAP-

GSP/GIZ stocktaking mission

The missions objectives

28/02/2014

Provide recommendations:

• For joint activities and programming

across sectors and themes

• For a Roadmap for the NAP process in

Cambodia

• On how to improve the existing planning

and implementation framework.

Main objectives of a NAP process according to

UNFCCC and LEG Technical Guidelines

28/02/2014

• To take a medium- and long-term approach to reducing

vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change.

• To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation,

in a coherent manner, into relevant new and existing

policies, programmes and activities, in particular

development planning processes and strategies, within all

relevant sectors and at different levels, as appropriate.

Gap analysis for Cambodian context comparing with LEG

NAP Technical Guidelines

28/02/2014

• NAP Process not yet launched

• Comprehensive inventory of existing data

missing

• Lack of consistent scenarios (time horizon,

methodology, context)

• Fragmented VAs and outdated information

• Long-term implementation strategy

incomplete – across sectors and financing

• Fragmented capacity development

initiatives

• M&E for climate change adaptation not

operational

Strengths

• Well established planning framework for CCA

• Key issues addressed

• Well established institutional setting

• Good ownership

• Various programmes and projects financed

28.02.2014

Weaknesses • Weak vertical integration

• Lack of capacities at sub-national level

• Finances far under needs

• Scattered data production and use

• Limited sector cooperation on joint programmes

• No sustainability in project like approaches

SWOT-Analysis of existing CCA processes

Opportunities • Openness to continue CCA mainstreaming

among most actors

• Broadly accepted coordinating role by MOE

• Cambodia well integrated into international

networks

• Sub-national cooperation structures existing

Threats • Limited culture of cross-sectorial

implementation

• Financial system scattered and budget

allocation opaque

• Still quite centralized policy making

• Project rather than programme approach

Prioritization

Strategy areas for added value of NAP I

• Bundle implementation

Activity fields from the CCAPs which offer synergies through joint implementation.

28.02.2014

• Data systems and analyses

Harmonized/standardized data processing, modeling, projections, vulnerability assessments, GIS.

• Support financing systematically

MOE might adopt ‘finance brokering’ function to match financing needs with sources.

• Overall steering of implementation

Establish and timely run overall M&E system at MOE to

ensure learning process for CCA.

• Vertical mainstreaming to sub-national level

Support measures such as capacity development, advisory

services, up-scaling mechanisms, enhanced ownership at

local level.

• Qualitative mainstreaming

EIA with CCA reflection, Climate Proofing for larger projects.

28.02.2014

Strategy areas for added value of NAP II

Specification of strategy areas for 2 examples

28.02.2014

Examples for Added Value Approaches

Support systematic financing

• Finance brokering by MOE as ‘regular’ advisory function (no consultant study) for matchmaking of needs and sources

• Connected to DNA function

• Making use of international negotiations and contacts

• Enhance climate finance transparency: Regular CPEIR, pilot classification (especially for budget support, PBA)

• Conduct Loss & Damage study

• Specify support mechanisms after evaluation of Climate Change Financing Framework Study

28.02.2014

Bundled implementation

• Land-use planning with CCA reflection (MAFF, MLMUPC, NCDM, MRD)

• Integrated programmes for identifying local vulnerability hot spots (e.g. highly flood prone areas) including agriculture, housing, irrigation schemes, Disaster Risk Management, …

• Program oriented strengthening of infrastructures (schools (MOEYS), MPWT, NCDD …)

• Water consumption / management at local level (MRD, MAFF, MOWRAM)

28.02.2014

Examples for Added Value Approaches

Roadmap

28.02.2014

Elements for a NAP ‘roadmap’ I

Establishing the NAP process

• Strategy development for mobilizing added value (e.g. strengthening joint implementation, financing) of NAP in Cambodia including timeline, means of cooperation, roles of actors

• Launching the NAP process in the country e.g. through Inception Workshop:

Point of departure

What does NAP mean for Cambodia?

Specify areas and activities of added value (see above)

• Adopt specified NAP Strategy / confirm mandate

• Communication of ‘Cambodian NAP’ to UNFCCC/LEG Chair and at international level

28.02.2014

28/02/2014

Implementing the NAP process / the CCCSP and CCAPs

• Provide a mechanism, including standards, for an overarching vulnerability assessment, including selection of models and time frame for scenarios.

• Conduct comprehensive vulnerability assessments which will serve multiple sectors.

• Joint implementation guideline to be developed and reflected in CCAPs implementation.

• Capacity development approach to strengthen CCA in sectors and province level implementation, linking to advisory services on demand to complement training components.

• Conduct in-depth Technology Needs Assessment for sectors

• Analyze synergies between mitigation and adaptation in sectors

Elements for a NAP ‘roadmap’ II

28/02/2014

Review and learning

• M&E System for CC in place quickly and

connected to mechanism for VA, data collection

systems and training for staff for analysis at

MOE and sectors. Vertical integration of

provincial and commune data collection.

• Review of NAP process.

• 2016: reflect NAP progress in National

Communication.
