QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT1

Third Quarter 2013

1. Country: Cook Islands, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia,

Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea,

Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon

Island, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu

2. UNDP Award ID: 00044633

3. Project Title: Pacific Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement through

Renewable Energy Project (PIGGAREP) &

PIGGAREP Plus

4. Implementing Partner: Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment

Programme (SPREP)

5. GEF Implementing Agency: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

6. Period Covered: 1st July – 30

th September

1 This progress report is based on the PIGGAREP 2013 preliminary draft work plan and budget.


7. Summary of Overall Project Progress:

The third quarter of 2013 noted the following key achievements,

Completed the 6th

Multipartite Review Meeting (MPR) in Nadi, Fiji – Meeting Outcomes

attached as Annex 1. (Effective Project Management)

Finalization of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Report for four PIGGAREP PICs (CI,

WS, KI and TV) – (Effective Project Management)

Completed the PIGGAREP Plus Inception Meeting in Nadi, where the Work Plan and budget

were discussed and finalized for the 6 (six) PIGGAREP+ countries for implementation.

(Effective Project Management & Outcome 1)

Completed the 18th

Project Board Meeting – draft minutes attached as Annex 2. (Effective

Project Management)

The 3rd

quarter of 2013 reflected 57.74% of funds budgeted for of $397,264 advanced expended.

Actual fund spent for the quarter was USD 229,377.74. From this,

USD 152627.68 was related to the Project Management Office (PMO), or 66.5% of the

total Q3 expenditure. The reason why PMO is relatively much higher than the estimated

budget for this period is that travel cost for the 11 project countries related to the

PIGGAREP Project board Meeting in December 2nd

2013. As there is only one global

project management budget, all management costs, whether regional or country related,

are accounted for here. The breakdown of the PMO expenditure is presented in Table 2,

page 13.

The balance, 76,750 USD, was spent on solar training Nauru, renewable energy

awareness activities in Samoa, development of the Tina hydropower plant in Solomon

Islands, renewable energy awareness raising in Tonga, installation of solar PV and tariff

review/development of net metering policy for in Tuvalu.

7.1 Project Monitoring and Evaluation

The PIGGAREP Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) process for Cook Islands, Samoa, Tuvalu

and Kiribati was further revised by the consultant from advices from the PIGGAREP Regional

Technical Advisor (RTA) in Bangkok completed and submitted to the PMO.

The 6th

Multi Partite Review, the 18th

Project Board meeting and the PIGGAREP+ Inception

meeting was held in Nadi, Fiji from 12 - 16 August to critically assess the project performance

for the past 6 years discuss improved way forward to improve project delivery. We also

welcomed the additional USD2 million from the SIDS Dock Fund to implement 6 approved

projects for 6 countries including 3 new participating countries from FSM, RMI and Palau.

7.2 Collaborative Effort and Partnerships

The Pacific Energy Oversight Group (PEOG) members were invited to join the 6th

Multi Partite

Review (MPR) to share their energy programs in the region and to further strengthen our

partnership in supporting the Pacific Islands countries with their energy needs and especially

renewable energy development.

The data collection on renewable energy and transport sector in partnership with IRENA was

completed during the quarter. The final report is expected to be available by the end of 2013.

Following the Multi Partite Review, the Project Management Office participated in the Regional

Energy Database workshop which was held in Suva, Fiji by Secretariat of the Pacific

Community (SPC) from 19 to 21 August. Other partners such as GIZ, IRENA, USP, PPA and

PIFS also participated. This workshop aimed at strengthening energy databases at the national

levels in order to improve governments’ energy planning and policies, related to Component 3,

Institutional strengthening,

The Project Management Office has continued to update the Inventory matrix and Achievements

to Date in discussion with the RTA and countries in preparation for the Terminal review.

Further inputs were provided by the national coordinators during side workshops at the MPR .

These two matrices are updated quarterly with the Quarterly Progress Reports

The PMO have produced the SIDS Dock PIGGAREP+ and PIGGAREP Project Brief flyer and

national fact sheets for each PIGGAREP country. These were displayed at the SPREP meeting

held in Apia in September and at the Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit which was held in

Honolulu, Hawaii where the Project Manager was invited to make a presentation on PIGGAREP.

7.3 Regional Activities

A follow up of the Gender Mainstreaming Workshop focusing on PIGGAREP Plus aimed to

(a) familiarize the PIGGAREP Country Team staff and the PMO staff with key

concepts of gender mainstreaming in project design and management in the

PIGGAREP Plus; and, (b) provide examples and exercises that facilitate the practical

application of these concepts and to build knowledge on how to improve gender

equality in renewable energy initiatives in PIGGAREP Plus and especially

documenting the impacts of PIGGAREP+ activities on gender. The training will

result in reporting on gender impacts under PIGGAREP (from Q42013) and inclusion

of relevant gender indicators in the PIGGAREP + log frame.


The National Coordinators were also having a specific workshop during the 6th

MPR on updating

the inventory matrix and achievements to date table on results and impacts of PIGGAREP

activities. This enabled the PMO to work closely with the countries to provide updated

information since the commencement of the project in 2007.

10. Challenges/Issues Encountered

The major challenge during the quarter is getting the countries to implement actual activities.

These are all PIGGAREP countries except Samoa was into the final stages of completing its

activities. Efforts were made to kick start PNG (as they never implemented any PIGGAREP

activity) but still very slow response. A lot of time is consumed during the preparation of the

activities such as development of Terms of Reference (ToR), advertisement and evaluation of

bids and awarding as well as development of consultancy contracts before actual implementation

of activities. It was time consuming to have the ToRs for Fiji (on the Feasibility study on Net

Metering), Tuvalu (on the Study of Electricity Tariff Reform including development of Net-metering

Policy), Tonga (on their RE Curriculum consultancy) and Vanuatu (on the Productive Use of Renewable

Energy from the use of the micro-hydropower in Talise). Response time from the coordinators is

substantially lengthy, resulting in the slow progress. Nauru’s Solar PV Training had been outstanding for

some lengthy period of time now and efforts to progress this are futile as there is no availability of

trainers in Nauru. It is anticipated to be conducted in the 4th quarter.

11. Solutions Applied (to address issues and challenges)

PMO had aggressively tried work with the countries to complete most if not all activities by end

of this year. PMO had contacted those countries that had their activities being slow in

implementation and those that are yet to start their PAS implementation, as means in finding

measures to speed up their progress and start the implementations. These countries (refer to 10

above) were contacted individually by the PMO. For the ToRs, the PMO was actively

developing the TORs, evaluation and development of consultancy agreements in consultation

with the countries. For instance, PMO was working with Tonga and Tuvalu (apart from Fiji and

Vanuatu) – refer to 10 above) in getting ToR drafts finalized. These two activities (refer to 10

above) are now well underway with Tonga activity being advertised and Tuvalu just completed

their evaluation of bids and awarding the works with Consultancy Agreement under

development. Support will be provided prioritizing Nauru ( Solar PV training facilitation), Niue

(RE Awareness program), Vanuatu and Fiji (as per 10 above) who have long outstanding

activities and others like the Solomon Islands that is progressing to having the contractor

installing the first of the 4 wind monitoring towers.

12. Recommendations for Future Action/Work Plan Quarter 4/2013

Refer to Table 1 above for the 2013 Interim Work Plan which consists of Quarter 4, work plan.

PMO will work closely with National Coordinators through continuous communication to follow

up on activities and support countries with the development of the necessary TORs, Consultancy

Agreements and other required documents to expedite the implementation of activities. Noting

that the next quarter is quite critical for 2014 decisions of the project activities performance and

continuation.

13. Project Finance

The 3rd

quarter of 2013 reflected 57.74% of funds budgeted for of $397,264 advanced expended.

Actual fund spent for the quarter was USD 229,377. 74. The breakdown of the PMO expenditure

is presented in Table 2.

13

For the three (3) North Pacific PIGGAREP PICs (The Federated States of Micronesia (FM); The

Republic of Marshall Islands (MH) and Palau (PW) the total expenditure for the third quarter are

as follows:

FM: USD1,750.00

MH: USD5,944.50

PW: USD7,208.47

These are expenditure on Travel cost to the 6th

MPR and the PIGGAREP Plus Inception Meeting

in Nadi (August 2013).
