• Capacity building is a cross-cutting issue
• CB is included into almost all environmental
  cooperation
• There are some pure CB projects (e.g.
  meteorology), but most often CB integral part
• How much CC-CB e.g. in forestry / land use mgmt
  programmes ?

Funding levels The OECD-DAC data From the OECD
Creditor Reporting System (CRS) database. Members
of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and
multilateral donors report. The Rio Markers
Based on indications of the policy objectives of
bilateral aid activities (though the climate
change objective will often be less than the
total value of such activities), which are
reported through markers. CC related aid
should be 100 or 40 of total funding often
hard to fit no data on CB

• However,
• Not all DAC members report against the CC marker.
  
• For some who do report, the reporting is not
  comprehensive

• EU reports in UNFCCC submissions on successtories

• ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND
  MAINSTREAMING PROGRAMME (2008-2012) (8 M euros)
• Capacity of MTENR enhanced to start-up and manage
  basket fund
• Capacity of MTENR enhanced to initiate
  mainstreaming of ENR into other sectors
• Capacity of MTENR to review and strengthen policy
  and strategic framework in ENR enhanced
• Capacity of MTENR to pro-actively support other
  sectors to mainstream and use Fund to finance
  mainstreaming is enhanced
• A sequence of training events and
  'leaning-by-doing' sessions held to enhance the
  capacity of ENR dept. and other stakeholders
  within strategic planning, policy reviews, and
  SEA. (Example A 6-8 month Action Learning
  process on enhancing the strategic planning
  capacity of MTENR implemented or sequenced
  training programme on SEA, implemented at MTENR
  and ECZ in relation to actual implementation of
  at least two relevant SEAs)
• - Capacity of MTENR and statutory bodies to
  enhance and support decentralised management of
  ENR strengthened (indicators would be preparation
  of plan for actions to support decentralised ENR
  mgmt.

Capacity development and investment frameworkOne
programme, including financial resources for
capacity development, as well as an investment
facility to undertake environmental investments
The programme would be managed by a
Secretariat, hosted by PID. In the initial stages
of the programme, the Secretariat would be
supported by TA to help set up the mechanism
for identifying investment opportunities, to help
identify specific assistance needed for longer
term capacity development, etc. Such TA would be
advisory only to the PID, which chairs the
Secretariat. Draft TOR for such TA should be
provided in the programme document (by COWI as
consultants).
The Steering Committee would be advised by the
TENR-SAG.
TENR SAG
Joint Steering Committee (MTENR, MOFNP, CPs, ...)
A joint Steering Committee, chaired by PS MTENR,
would be established to guide the overall
programme and manage the basket fund. The
composition of the Steering Committee and its
mandate would be designed by the MTENR and
participating CPs in collaboration The
programme would be supported by CPs through a
basket mechanism. Also project funding
coordinated under this mechanism would be
possible.

ECZ
The capacity development component would
include support to developing longer term
capacities in the MTENR and its statutory bodies
(mainly ECZ and ZAWA) to fulfil their core
mandates (data collection setting up and
maintaining an ME system etc), as well as
developing the capacity to identify business
opportu-nities and prepare finan-cing proposals
the invest-ment facility for mainstrea-ming
environment. This component would also include
funds for procuring specific technical
exper-tise, if and when required by MTENR
Capacity development for core business and for
mainstreaming

business opportunities identified (one of the
success indicators)
The investment facility would be used to
finance/co-finance investments with partners
outside the MTENR, e.g. CAADP sustainable land
management. Both public and private partners
should be sought for environmental
investmentsThe detailed modalities for the
investment facility would be designed and agreed
upon during the start-up phase of the programme
(Jan-March 2008)
