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

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 countryo Unlock public or private sector investment for

climate technology deployment

• NDEs should therefore:o Ensure political commitment for the requesto 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…

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).

NDEs as CHAMPIONS

Role of Champions : Case of Burkina

The P-E Champions represent different parts of society and includes politicians, artists, religious leaders, traditional chiefs and the academia. They all play a critical role in advocating for and influencing Burkina Faso’s path towards a sustainable development.

PEI Burkina Faso is currently supporting the development of a road map for the P-E champions to take forward in 2013/14.

Synergies with PEI on Mainstreaming

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

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
