EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. The purpose of this document is to submit the proposed 2019 Work Plan and Budget of the

ClimDev Africa Special Fund (CDSF) to the Board of Directors of the African

Development Bank for approval, in accordance with the CDSF Operational Procedures.

2. ClimDev-Africa Special Fund (CDSF) is an integral part of the Climate for Development

in Africa initiative—ClimDev-Africa, which is a joint programme of the African Union

Commission (AUC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and

the African Development Bank (AfDB). ClimDev-Africa coordinates collective efforts of

these three key African institutions to foster a common response to the climate change

challenge across Africa. The programme was launched in 2011 with the mandate to address

the gaps in the observational records of past, current and future climate variations—and

address gaps that African leaders and development partners recognized as major obstacles

to addressing Africa’s development challenge.

3. The Fund is a demand-driven multilateral facility and supports projects that align to the

objectives of the ClimDev-Africa Programme. The Fund also addresses key climate change

and development gaps that have been identified during the Programme’s activities. The

Fund provides support to the following three main results areas:

i) Generation, wide-scale dissemination and use of reliable and quality climate

information

ii) Generation of climate change analysis and evidence for use in development planning

iii) Implementation of pilot adaptation projects to demonstrate the value of mainstreaming

climate information in development planning and policy practice.

4. In line with the Instrument establishing the CDSF, the fund became effective in August

2014 when the equivalent of UA 20 million1 was pledged by donors. The amount

pledged to date is approximately UA 29.4 million (about € 35.9 million) from three

main donors: the Government of Sweden through the Swedish International

Development Agency (SEK2 105 million equivalent to € 10.9 million), the European

Commission (€ 20 million), and Nordic Development Fund (€ 5 million). The Fund

became effective in February, 2015.

5. The CDSF currently has a staff complement of four (4) (excluding the Coordinator).

They include the Chief Climate Change and Policy Officer, the Principal Disaster and

Risk Specialist, a Senior Finance and Administration Officer as well as a Team

Assistant. One additional staff member, a Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist (M&E)

will be recruited in 2019 as there will be more projects needing close monitoring of

outputs and results on the ground. As has been the case in the past, CDSF will continue

to rely on staff from the Climate Change and Green Growth Department as well as those

from the Agriculture and Agro-Industry Department based in the Regional Directorates

to Task Manage its projects across Africa. Similarly, the Fund will continue to receive

support from both the Financial Management and Fiduciary Divisions of the Bank to

Operational Activities 11,410,000 10,855,000

Administrative Activities 584,000 1,407,025

Total 11,994,000 12,262,025

8. As most projects are in the implementation phase currently, the Operational Activities of

CDSF are expected to increase with a budget of EUR 10,855,000 committed for the year

2019. Financing will be provided for twenty-one (21) projects which will be operational in

the three Result areas of CDSF (Areas I, II & III) including one of the five (5) projects

inherited from the Africa Climate Policy Center. The result areas are:

Result Area I: Projects that are intended for generation, wide dissemination and use of

reliable and high quality climate information for development in Africa;

Result Area II: Projects for capacity enhancement of policy makers and policy support

institutions through the generation of quality analysis and evidence on climate change

and its implications for Africa, for use in development planning and actions.

Result Area III: Projects that are for pilot adaptation practices that demonstrate the

value of mainstreaming climate information in development planning and practices, for

subsequent awareness raising and advocacy to inform decision-making.

The spread of projects across the Results Areas is as follows:

Projects in Result Area I : Seven (7) projects;

Projects in Result Area I & III : Three (3) projects;

Projects in Result Area II : Five (5) projects;

Projects in Result Area III : Five (5) projects;

Project inherited from ACPC : One (1) project.

9. The budget requirements in 2019 for the projected operational budget are commensurate to

the available resources. The traditional funders of the CDSF i.e. the EU, SIDA and the

Nordic Development Fund have pledged to continue supporting the Fund as it increases its

operations. A request will be presented to the Bank in 2019 for additional financial support

to CDSF investments through the Bank’s Net Income Allocation (NIA). Joint resource

mobilization initiatives will be undertaken in 2019 with the ClimDev Africa Programme

Partners (AUC and UNECA), within the framework of Phase II of the Programme through

the ClimDev Africa Business Plan (2017-2022), and Resource Mobilization Strategy.

1. INTRODUCTION

ClimDev-Africa Special Fund (CDSF) is an integral part of the Climate for Development in

Africa initiative—ClimDev-Africa, which is a joint programme of the African Union

Commission (AUC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the

African Development Bank (AfDB). ClimDev-Africa coordinates collective efforts of these

three key African institutions to foster a common response to the climate change challenge

across Africa. The programme was launched in 2011 with the mandate to address the gaps in

the observational records of past, current and future climate variations—and address gaps that

African leaders and development partners recognized as major obstacles to addressing Africa’s

development challenge.

In line with the Instrument establishing the CDSF, the fund became effective in August 2014

when the equivalent of UA 20 million3 was pledged by donors. The amount pledged to date is

approximately UA 29.4 million (about € 35.9 million) from three main donors: the Government

of Sweden through the Swedish International Development Agency (SEK4 105 million

equivalent to € 10.9 million), the European Commission (€ 20 million), and Nordic

Development Fund (€ 5 million). The Fund became effective in February, 2015.

The Fund is a demand-driven multilateral facility and supports projects that align to the

objectives of the ClimDev-Africa Programme. The Fund also addresses key climate change

and development gaps that have been identified during the Programme’s activities. The Fund

provides support to the following three main results areas:

iv) Generation, wide-scale dissemination and use of reliable and quality climate

information

v) Generation of climate change analysis and evidence for use in development planning

vi) Implementation of pilot adaptation projects to demonstrate the value of mainstreaming

climate information in development planning and policy practice.

Phase one of the ClimDev Africa Programme 2012 to 2016, mobilized US$101 million nearly

60 percent of the target of US$136 million. Of this amount, US$ 63 million was contributed

into the CDSF at the AfDB by Development Partners as follows: Euro 30 million from the

AfDB Regional Operations Fund, Euro 20 million from the EU, Euro 5 million from the Nordic

Development Fund and Swedish Kronor 105 million (approximately Euro 10 million) by the

Swedish International Development Agency.

In 2019, ClimDev-Africa Special Fund (CDSF) aims to roll out full implementation of the 21

operations in its active portfolio in 2019 for a total value of € 28,100,394. Out of this amount,

€ 10,855,000 is expected to be disbursed in 2019. The Fund also has an active pipeline of

bankable operations, which require additional resources for their effective funding. There are

plans for resource mobilization to refinance the Fund and preparations are ongoing for a donor

outreach in 2019.

This document contains four main sections namely: i) The CDSF Work Plan for 2019; ii)

Operations and Administrative Budget for 2019; iii) Financial Resources Requirements; and

iv) Flow of Main Events for 2019. The components for each of the sections will be elaborated

accordingly.

2. WORK PLAN FOR 2019

The CDSF 2019 Work Plan will comprise four major blocks of activities; namely i) Portfolio

Management (Identification and Appraisals, Launching, Supervision and Mid-Term Reviews

and Project Completion), 2) Partnerships and Coordination, 3) Knowledge Management and

Development; and 4) Resource Mobilization.

2.1 Portfolio Management

Portfolio management for CDSF projects will in 2019 comprise project identification and

appraisal; project launching, project supervision, mid-term review and Project Completion

missions as outlined hereunder:

2.1.1 Identification and Appraisal

The Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) has made a financial replenishment

into the CDSF of SEK 30,000,000 (Euro 2,909,343) to cater for specific areas and programmes

of interest to SIDA and the Bank/CDSF. These include working with the River Basin

Organizations (RBO), Small Island States Development (SISD), Transboundary Programmes

and Development of Climate information systems for fragile states. In that regard, a number of

identification and appraisal missions will be organized in the course of 2019 to initiate

discussions with the respective countries and institutions on the kind of projects to be

undertaken. Preliminary discussions were initiated in 2018 with potential institutions to be

supported through this new funding window by SIDA.

Following a successful exploratory mission in 2018, CDSF will work with the AfDB country

managers and the governments of Liberia and Sierra Leone to develop a project that will cater

for the climate/weather infrastructure needs of the Met forecasting and Met airport safety,

disaster and civil protection in the Liberia and Sierra Leone country strategies for financing.

2.1.2 Launching

CDSF will during the first Quarter of 2019, undertake the launching of two new projects that

were approved towards the end of 2018. These are: i) The Climate Data Rescue and Database

Enhancement for Improved Climate Information Services in Djibouti, Swaziland, Uganda and

Zambia; and ii) Disaster Risk Assessment and Climate change adaptation in Somalia. As per

the usual practice, the launching will be undertaken collaboratively with the Financial

Management, Procurement and Disbursement Specialists from the Bank.

2.1.3 Supervision

A number of on-going projects will be supervised at least once in 2019. These mainly include

projects that were approved in 2018, comprising both Regional and National Projects.

Regional Projects that are executed/managed by Regional Climate Centres that will be

supervised this year include, i) the Continental African Center of Meteorological Application

for Development (ACMAD), ii) the Agro meteorology and Hydrology Regional Centre

Page 11: CLIMDEV AFRICA SPECIAL FUND (CDSF) 2019 WORK PLAN AND … · Swedish International Development Agency. In 2019, ClimDev-Africa Special Fund (CDSF) aims to roll out full implementation

(AGRHYMET); and iii) IGAD Climate Prediction and Application Centre (ICPAC). Mid-

Term Reviews were undertaken on the three Regional Climate Centres in 2018.

National Projects that will be supervised in 2019 include, (i) Meteorological Observation

Network Improvement in Mali for Climate Change Resilience (Mali); (ii) Satellite Based Water

Monitoring and Flow Forecasting System in Niger River Basin (Niger);; (iii) Renforcement

des investissements pour un développement résilient au changement climatique (RICC-

BENIN); (iv) Enhancement of Data Collection and Sharing for Effective Water - Related

Disaster Management Project (Zimbabwe); (v) Improved Climate and Weather Information to

Increase Resilience of Senegal Communities (Senegal). (vi) Climate Data Rescue and Database

Enhancement for improved Climate Information Services in National Meteorological and

Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in Djibouti, Swaziland, Uganda and Zambia Project; (vii)

Disaster Risk Assessment and Climate Change Adaptation in Somalia (Somalia).

2.1.4 Mid-Term Review (MTR)

Mid-Term Review Missions are planned for projects that have been operational for over half

of the implementation period (3 years) or projects whose implementation modalities have

changed thus necessitating both budget and log frame reviews. These include both national and

regional projects. National Projects scheduled for Mid-Term Review include, i) Institutional

Support for Climate and Seasonal Weather Information for Adaptation Planning in Northern

Tanzania (Tanzania); (ii) Satellite Based Water Monitoring and Flow Forecasting System in

Niger River Basin (Niger). Two Regional Projects are also set for MTR; namely projects

managed/executed the Economic Commission for Central African States (ECCAS) and by the

South African Development Community (SADC).

2.1.5 Project Completion/Closure

The project cycle for almost all CDSF projects is three years and projects are supposed to have

attained their set objectives after that period. Experience shows that projects have had to be

extended for six months or more to achieve their objectives before closure. Projects that are

due for closure in 2019 are: i) Flood Disaster Risk Reduction in Bunyala Busia County Kenya

Project by Maseno University in Kenya; ii) Strengthening Climate Information and Early

Warning Systems for Climate Resilient Development and Adaptation to Climate Change by the

National Meteorological Agency in Ethiopia; and . (iii) Bridging Climate Information Gaps to

Strengthen Capacities for Climate Informed Decision-making (Implemented by African

Technology Policy Studies Network- ATPS, Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria and Tunisia). The

CDSF has had several rounds of discussions with the respective institutions whose projects are

due to close on the sustainability of activities initiated under the project. Prospects for

continuity of activities under these projects look promising, with institutions being ready to

inject some funds into the project activities.

2.2 Partnerships and Coordination

The CDSF has established several partnerships with several national and international

institutions/organizations since its inception in 2015. In 2019, the Fund will strengthen this

relationship and solicit relationship with other partners with related programmes or approaches.

For example, CDSF has established a partnership with the Global Fund for Disaster and Risk

Reduction (GRDRR) of the World Bank; the EUMETSAT, UNISDR, the WMO and EU-ACP

to exchange information, as well as establish operational collaboration to leverage the resources

of the Fund, and broaden its reach and impact on the ground.

The CDSF will in 2019 continue pursuing the implementation of the Africa Hydromet Program

with other partners, namely the World Bank, WMO, UNDP, French Cooperation Agency and

WFP. Through this partnership. co-financing arrangements for the Hydromet Program with the

Green Climate Fund (GCF) will be sought.

EUMETSAT has since the signing of a joint Memorandum of Understanding in 2016 been the

main technical arm of the CDSF, particularly assisting in the ascertaining of the technical

specifications of the Climate Information equipment to be procured by the Regional Climate

Centres. In 2019, EUMETSAT will facilitate the organization of a technical mission to the

EUMETSAT Headquarters in Bonn, Germany for Project Coordinators and Modelers, so as to

acquaint them with the working modalities of EUMETSAT and how to improve the exchange

of information between Regional Climate Centres and national meteorological services.

The CDSF will establish operational partnerships with the Africa Adaptation Initiative (AAI),

with the auspices of Flagship 1 of the AAI operational framework for the advancement and

support to climate information services across the Continent. CDSF will also collaborate with

AAI in working with River Basin Organizations, particularly in the areas of climate adaptation

and resilience.

At the Bank level, the CDSF will work closely with the Department of Agriculture Finance and

Development and the African Risk Capacity in the implementation of the recently launched

Africa Disaster Risk Financing (ADRiFi) Programme. This tripartite collaboration will

facilitate the development of work plan on Climate Information and Risk Mitigation Tools for

Disaster Risk Financing.

CDSF will work closely with the Agriculture and Agro-Industry Department at the Bank, to

participate in the Identification and Dialogue Mission for the Program for building a sustainable

food system in the Sahel region during the first Quarter of 2019. Specifically, CDSF will

contribute in designing the Program component on Reinforcing of adaptive capacity to climate

change.

2.3 Knowledge Management and Development

Over the three years of implementation of projects under the CDSF, some knowledge products,

tools and studies have been developed, especially by the Regional Climate Centres. The

narrative on impacts of climate change to Africa’s development still requires more empirical

analysis especially on key sectors whose vulnerabilities have been broadly demonstrated. More

granular sector and region specific analysis is still being conducted in order to develop

appropriate climate response policies and strategies at national and regional levels.

In 2019, the CDSF will recruit a Communications Specialist to facilitate the collation and

dissemination of the various knowledge products developed through the various projects

supported by the Fund. The results and lessons learned from the implementation of project

activities will be systematically collected and used for the advocacy of CDSF. For ease of

dissemination and visibility of its knowledge products, CDSF will create an interactive website

(database) and online knowledge platform that will be easily accessed by its stakeholders.

In order to advocate and increase the understanding of the importance of Climate Information

Services in development, a CDSF Open Day is planned for the second Quarter of 2019. During

that event, various knowledge products developed under the Fund will be exhibited/displayed.

Besides acting as a vehicle for CDSF advocacy, the Open Day will facilitate resource

mobilization initiatives that CDSF will undertake in 2019.

2.4 Resource Mobilization

There have been a number of resource mobilization attempts and initiatives for the CDSF

within the auspices of the Business Plan for Phase II of the ClimDev Africa Programme (CDA).

The Business Plan also incorporates a Resource Mobilization Strategy (RMS). For example,

there have been Consultative discussions with the ACP/EU Secretariat to refinance the Result

3 of the Disaster Risk Reduction Program. Preliminary discussions have also been made with

the Fund’s traditional donors i.e. the Nordic Development Fund and SIDA for possibilities of

refinancing the Fund. Discussions with these donors will continued in 2019.

The approach for resource mobilization within the larger Phase II of the CDA Programme,

will take the form of a holistic approach to the integration of climate change in development

policy, planning and programmes in member states and regional economic communities

(RECs). This will be implemented through project investments in climate information services,

disaster risk reduction, and applied research and policy analyses. It is envisaged that besides

fostering partnerships between government institutions, the private sector will take centre stage

in this important endeavor.

2.5 Policy-Based Activities

In collaboration with the two partners, AUC and ECA, CDSF will participate in several

programme coordination meetings and international climate dialogue forums such as the 25th

Conference of Parties (COP25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate

Change (UNFCCC), and the Africa Adaptation Initiative, to exchange on a disaster risk

knowledge platform for Africa. Also meetings of African ministerial conferences such as the

African Ministerial Conference on Meteorology (AMCOMET). In 2019, CDSF will work with

the WMO to prepare Protocols that will make CDSF to also act as an AMCOMET Facility,

through which national meteorological services can be financed.

Following a successful exploratory mission in 2018, CDSF will work with the WMO Regional

Office and the governments of Liberia and Sierra Leone to develop a project that will cater for

the climate/weather infrastructure in those countries. The infrastructure will facilitate

forecasting and airport safety, disaster and civil protection in both countries.

2.6 Capacity Development

Capacity building/development for climate and weather information services is necessary to

bridge the gap between climate data and information and climate resilience and development

policy processes. Thus CDSF will in 2019 continue to integrate capacity building in all projects.

For national and project teams involved in implementation, CDSF will work with

EUMETSAT5 to prepare and deliver training packages in severe weather forecasting and

climate change adaptation.

3. OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET FOR 2019

3.1 Operations Budget

Operational and project financing for 2019 is estimated at Euro 10,855,000 (Table 1 and Annex

1). This is the estimated disbursement for the fifteen (15) approved projects. While many of

the projects in the portfolio support more than one of the three investment areas of the Fund, a

significant proportion (76 %) of the financing will support six (6) projects in contributing to

the Result Area I of the Fund, i.e. the generation, wide dissemination and use of reliable and

high quality climate information for development in Africa. Four (4) projects support result

area two while two (2) projects support result area three. Four (4) other projects cut across the

three result areas. This is consistent with the Fund’s operations and procedures manual, which

recognizes the need for integrated investments in climate and weather data infrastructure and

analytical capacity in Africa.

5 EUMETSAT (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) is responsible for the launch and

operation of the satellites and for delivering satellite data to end-users as well as contributing to the operational monitoring

of climate and the detection of global climate changes.

The approved projects will be implemented in the following countries: Niger6 (3 projects; of

which 2 are regional with ACMAD and AGRHYMET receiving EU support. One project is

national, the Niger Basin Authority receiving SIDA/NDF support), as well as ICPAC (Kenya).

As per the directive given by the ClimDev Africa Programme Steering Committee, CDSF will

undertake to finance one of the five projects that have been inherited from the Africa Climate

Policy Centre (ACPC) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). The

remaining 4 inherited projects will be reappraised for possible financing in 2020.

The bulk of the investments is for projects in result area one, which go to support infrastructure

for generation, wide dissemination and use of climate information for development. Projects

that contribute to result area two of the Fund i.e. capacity enhancement of policy makers and

policy support institutions constitute about 11 % financing. The same level of financing (11%)

will be directed to those projects that contribute to both result areas one and three i.e.pilot

adaptation practices. Projects receiving 4 % of financing contribute exclusively to result area

three of the Fund. Projects that cut across result areas one and three are implemented in Mali

(METEO) and Senegal (ANACIM), while those that exclusively focus on result area two are

implemented in Tanzania (VPO) and Côte d’Ivoire (PNCC) Details of the projects to be

financed are discussed in the next section. The set of projects that are in various stages of

preparation are outlined in Annex 2.

3.1.1 Projected Financing in 2019 – Regional Projects

The CDSF through the Satellite Derived Information for Disaster Risk Reduction Program

(SAWIDRA) is supporting one continental and four (4) Regional Climate Centres (RCCs).

The Centres are the African Center of Meteorological Application for Development

6 The projects in Niger include two regional projects and one national project. The Regional projects are support to ACMAD

and AGRHYMET, the respective continental and regional climate centers.

(ACMAD), the Agro meteorology and Hydrology Regional Centre (AGRHYMET); IGAD

Climate Prediction and Application Centre (ICPAC), ECCAS Regional Climate Centre and

SADC/Climate Service Centre. The support aims to enhance the capacity of the RCCs to

generate and disseminate widely available relevant climate-related information to stakeholders.

With the exception of the ECCAS Regional Climate Center, which is new; the rest of the RCCs

are well established and fully operational. The Fund is disbursing Euro 5.8 Million to the

ACMAD project on Climate Information Services for Disaster Resilience and between Euro

2.4 million and Euro 3.8 million to each of four regional projects. A significant portion of the

funding is being utilized to purchase and install equipment for weather/climate data collection,

analysis and dissemination.

3.2 Administrative Budget

The CDSF Administrative Budget for 2019 is estimated to be Euro 1,407,025 as indicated in

Table 4 below. The administrative budgets constitutes staff salaries, consultancy fees, and

operational costs, among others.

CDSF currently has a staff complement of four (4) (excluding the Coordinator), they are the Chief Climate Policy Expert, the Principal Disaster Risk Reduction Expert, the Senior Finance and

Administrative Officer and the Team Assistant (and are paid directly from the CDSF funds).

Two positions, namely the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Specialist and the Climate

Adaptation Expert are yet to be recruited. The recruitment process for the M&E Specialist was

initiated in 2018 and will be completed by the first Quarter of 2019. The recruitment of the

Climate Adaptation Expert will be reassessed and will depend on the availability of resources,

but also the review on the need for that kind of expertise for the Fund. Operationally, however,

the Fund will continue receiving the Task Managing support from AHAI, PECG, FIFC, SNDI

and FIFM in the appraisal and implementation processes of its projects across the continent.

The Fund will continue to engage the services of Consultants for specialized tasks or in the

course of undertaking special operations. Table 4 below illustrates the cost centres/budget lines

and their projected expenditure during 2019. (See also Annex 2)

The administrative budget is indicative of projected increase in activities of the Fund in 2019

as compared to 2018. In 2018, the expenditure on personnel was about 46.4 % of the budget as

there were no additional staff recruitments. There will be fewer project appraisal missions in

2019 relative to 2017/2018, with more focus directed to project supervision and Mid-Term

Review.

7 The budget line for Official Missions is projected to increase due to an increase in the number of field missions,

including supervisions and MTRs 8 The Budget line for Operations and Coordination Missions is projected to increase as some members of the

project management teams will undertake study visits to the EUMETSAT in Bonn, Germany during the second

Quarter of 2019.

3.3 Projected Expenditure on Projects inherited from the African Climate Policy Center

With the approval from the ClimDev Africa Steering Committee, five on-going projects that

were being administered by the Africa Climate Policy Centre at the UNECA were handed over

to the CDSF to finance the balances and complete the implementation with effect from 2017.

These projects were handed over on the basis that they were commissioned under the mandate

of the CDSF three result Areas during the intervening period while waiting for CDSF to be

operationalized at the AfDB. The ClimDev steering committee has approved that CDSF

finance the unfinished components of those projects from its own budgetary allocation. All the

projects are aligned to Result Area 1. One of the project, located in Kenya (KIPPRA) was

reappraised in 2018. The remaining four projects located in Ghana, Gambia, Ethiopia and

Rwanda, will be reappraised in 2019 depending on the availability of funds to finance the

remaining activities to be undertaken by the projects. The projects that have been inherited by

CDSF and their respective budgets are indicated in Table 5 below.

4. FINANCIAL RESOURCES REQUIREMENT

The current portfolio of the Fund is estimated to cost Euro 28,100,394 and is expected to be

drawn down by 2020. This leaves little room for the Fund to finance any new operations. Thus

the need for resource mobilization to refinance the fund is urgent. While the traditional funders

of the CDSF i.e. the EU, SIDA and the Nordic Development Fund have pledged to continue

supporting the Fund depending on its performance, it is necessary to solicit support from other

potential partners, including the Bank. Table 6 shows the situation of donor contributions as at

December 2018. The Fund will ensure it meets its operational financial projections/obligations

to justify additional funding from the development partners during phase II of the ClimDev

Africa Programme of which CDSF is party.

The Bank made a commitment to contribute a sum of UA 20 million9 to the CDSF from its net

income allocation during the inception of the Fund in 2009. However, since the CDSF was not

yet effective, the Bank decided to formulate a project “Institutional Support for Climate

Infrastructure Project (ISACIP)” which was executed by Regional Climate Centres. The Fund

will in 2019 lodge a request for Bank refinancing through the Bank’s Net Income Account

(NIA) for approval by the Bank Governors during the Annual Meetings in June 2019.

5. CDSF KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The CDSF Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are derived from the overall ClimDev Africa

Results-Based Logical Framework, which has baseline, indicators, targets, outputs and

outcomes for each of its constituent components (i.e. for CDSF, ACPC and AU). For CDSF

the KPIs are aligned to its main objective, expected outcomes and eventual impact of its

operations on the entire Programme. The CDSF KPIs for 2019 are summarized as follows:

i) Increased disbursement rate from 24% in 2018 to 70% in 2019. This increased

rate will be achieved through the procurement of specialized climate and

9 It is important to note that the AfDB provided in 2010, Institutional Support to African Climate Centers of UA 20 million

The project benefited four regional climate centers

Page 21: CLIMDEV AFRICA SPECIAL FUND (CDSF) 2019 WORK PLAN AND … · Swedish International Development Agency. In 2019, ClimDev-Africa Special Fund (CDSF) aims to roll out full implementation

13

weather equipment (High Performance Computers and RARS) for the Regional

Climate Centres.

ii) The on-going portfolio of projects supervised at least once in 2019. This would

ensure that the portfolio does not have Potentially Problematic Projects (PPPs)

or Problematic Projects (PPs)

iii) Mid-Term Reviews undertaken in a timely manner for 7 ongoing projects (2

MTRs for Regional Climate Centres and 5 for national projects).

iv) Resource Mobilization for the refinancing of the Programme systematically

undertaken successfully. It is difficult to set targets for resource mobilization,

but all efforts should be made to ensure all potential avenues are explored for

the refinancing of the Programme.

v) Annual Audits undertaken timely for all on-going projects and for the CDSF

Programme.

These KPIs will be circulated to all CDSF Staff and operatives, ensure effective

accomplishment.

6. LANDMARK FLOW OF MAJOR EVENTS IN 2019

There are several events that are planned for 2019 that will significantly contribute to the

successful implementation of the Programme and projects on the ground. These include the

following:

1) First Quarter – Finalize documentation for the Purchase of the RARs Stations for all

the Centres and Send out Bids/Tenders to potential suppliers.

2) First Quarter – Mid Term Reviews for projects managed by SADC and ECCAS RCCs

3) First Quarter – CDSF Open Day at the Bank

4) Second Quarter – Joint Technical Visit to EUMETSAT Headquarters in Bonn,

Germany.

5) Second and third Quarter – Installation of the RARs at respective selected sites.

6) Fourth Quarter – Testing and Commissioning of the RARs

7. RECOMMENDATION
