Capacity Building for CDM in Africa ASEAN
Dr. Peter Pembleton Project Manager
2
Issues

• UNIDO programme aims to mobilize national
  (sub-) regional capacity develop mechanisms
  that support industry in the context of the CDM
  (including pre-project, project and post project
  launch issues)
• Previous efforts largely ignored industry and its
  potential to assist in achieving CC/CDM goals
• Major challenge is obtaining funding for CB
  related to the CDM

3
Phases

• 3 phases
• Phase I National review of industry past
  CC/CDM activitiesbackground studies
• Phase II Detailed capacity targeted technology
  needs assessmentspreparatory assistance (to
  develop programme to submit to donors / donor
  agencies)
• Phase III Programme implementationlearning-by-do
  ing

  consulting with key stakeholders)
• Technology in (2) energy-intensive industrial
  sectors / country
• Related capacity

• Determination of key stakeholders
• Examination of SD / SID objectives indicators

7
Programme activities (I II)

• National development of (teams of national
  experts in full consultation with key
  stakeholders)
• Preliminary portfolio of industrial CDM projects
  
• Barrier removal strategies
• Integrated capacity building programme
• Public-private partnerships
• Network knowledge base

Programme activities (I II)

• Supportive studies (to date)
• Key infrastructure requirements for industrial
  projects
• Integration of MEAs into national legislation
• Financing of (large- and small-scale) industrial
  projects (under the CDM)

10
Groups of needs

• The following have, inter alia, been determined
  as capacity needs to support the programme
• Increased information and awareness
• Technical advisory services
• Improved legal / regulatory environment
• Improved economic framework
• Better flows of FDI and finance
• Improved institutional support for all the above

11

  relation to business and potential benefits
• Knowledge on how to access, select, import and
  adapt appropriate climate-friendly industrial
  technologies
• Commercial financial benefits from energy
  efficiency cogeneration
• Benefits at company level

19
Programme outputs (III)

• (CDM) project portfolio development
• Capacity to undertake surveys and observations
  for baseline elaboration
• Monitoring equipment
• Capacity to undertake baseline and environmental
  additionality and sustainable development
  assessments
• Capacity to prepare bankable proposals

20
Programme outputs (III)

• Enabling environment
• Institutional set up for performing (CDM) project
  cycle functions
• Capacity to manage processes related to the
  transfer, adoption, adaptation absorption of
  technologies
• Improved regulatory structures
• Improved national/regional policies (trade,
  environment and technology transfer)

21
Programme outputs (III)

• Inclusion of (CDM) investment by traditional
  national/regional institutions in their lending
  portfolio
• Improved financial base for local companies to
  implement (CDM) projects
• Improved import duties taxes

22
Results to date

• Started with 6 African experts that became
  leaders of their own national teams
• Industry interests increasingly represented at
  COP/MOPs
• Each country now has core team--members have
  different expertise
• Technology/sectoral, investment, finance, energy,
  information, policy/legislation
• Each country has mobilized stakeholders in each
  major sector of the economy
• Now ca. 200 individuals in present Africa
  network

23
Results to date

• A preliminary portfolio of industrial (CDM)
  projects associated experience
• Interest of a few carbon funds/market
  intermediaries already
• A learning-by-doing CB programme
• Increased awareness capacity of Phase I II
  participants

24
Replicability

• Started with 6 African countries then
• 5 ASEAN countries in 2001
• 2 new African countries in 2001
• 12 new expressions of interest recently

25
Approach taken

• Country-driven
• Bottom-up, multi-stakeholder, learning-by-doing
  process
• Foster public-private partnerships
• Mobilize private sector local capacity
• Integrated approach based upon long-standing
  UNIDO experience
• industrial development, technology, investment
  promotion capacity building
• Supports sustainable industrial development

26
Integrated Programmes

• Integrated packages of UNIDO services in a
  country
