FRAMEWORKS
➢ Most ambitious NDCs are in Africa - strong National climate change policies &institutional coordination structures ➢ Long term development and climate action plans – National Development Visions/ Green Growth strategies; Aligning with Agenda 2030 for SD, Africa Agenda 2063 ; as per UNFCCC - Low Carbon Long Term Strategies (LTS) , NAP frameworks etc. ➢ Deliberate sector focused low carbon transition strategies: (Morocco at 35% Renewable Energy in 2018 committed to 52% by 2030) : Kenya becoming a champion on Clean Energy for cooking ; Ethiopia – energy
efficiency & low carbon transport options ➢ Institutional Coordination improvements - Uganda, Namibia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire Seychelles, Saint Lucia, Republic of the Marshall Islands and Pakistan
❑ Updating /revising NDCs ( most countries)- Refining/defining/updating quantified adaptation /mitigation goals; GHG emissions targets; Broadening NDC scope; Economy wide quantification; ❑ Sectoral focus and limited coherence among NDCs –Yet the nature of climate change - cross- cutting, transboundary ❑ Alignment and mainstreaming of climate action with development agenda is still limited. Parallel planning process under different mandated institutions at National and sub national – NDCs, SDGs, NAPs etc ➢ Inadequate Coordination - in country, across regions and continental level ❑ Private-sector engagement still limited - inadequate policy and regulatory environment,

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
➢ Integration of NDCs targets ( mitigation, adaptation ) into Budget Call Circulars – Medium Term Expenditure Frameworks , SDGs into National Development Plans, Sectoral, and sub national ➢ Various national pilot projects ( NAMAs and adaptation related ) are being implemented across sectors ➢ Taking on more inclusive and broader participation (Ministry of Finance, more sectors, gender aspects, non state actors, private sector etc) ❑ Advancing research to inform decision makers : ➢ climate adaptation – ambition goal, national wide vulnerability and risks assessments and
➢ Economy wide analysis and cost benefit analysis for low carbon options, ❑ Capacity building and strengthening tools for mainstreaming NDCs ,SDGs , Gender considerations into national sectors and sub national levels PROGRESS/ Successes GAPs! (support through CAEP + other sources)
13
FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIONS
➢ Budget tracking systems and reporting ( Kenya, Uganda, ….) ➢ National Climate Funds - Environment /Sustainable Development/ Green Funds ( Ethiopia, Rwanda, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe etc) ➢ Financing innovations like Green bonds (Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya …), ➢ Accreditations to international climate funds ❑ Access to international climate funds still a challenge ❑ Proposal development for fundable projects pipelines ➢ Scaling up National flagship fundable projects based on successful existing pilots ❑ Increasing Adaptation financing ❑ Strengthen and expand financing vehicles ❑ Innovative financing solutions like Green bonds , Carbon pricing – carbon taxation systems, blended finance windows and de-risking mechanisms etc PROGRESS/Successes GAPs! (Support through CAEP + other sources )
14
➢ Establishment of national MRV systems for Mitigation and Adaptation ( some few countries ) ➢ Substantive support in sector focused MRVs and Data management ( energy, Forestry- REDD+, transport ,) ❑ Lack of data, - difficulties to get progress with numerous isolated projects /programmes - which impedes the effective monitoring, follow up and review
❑ Setting sector baselines, establishing national inventory system for GHG emissions & adaptation - modelling and developing ambition scenarios ❑ Usable tools – for national and sectors MRV system for mitigation and adaptation ❑ Institutional capacity development in data collection, analyses and reporting and disaggregating by age, gender, income and geographical location PROGRESS/ Successes GAPs!
