What is the GCCA ? Two complementary pillars
3
Enhanced dialogue with developing countries on
climate change (Pillar 1)

• Convergence of visions on a post-2012 climate
  regime
• Regional conferences and declarations
• Asia, May 2010
• Africa, October 2010
• Pacific, March 2011
• Caribbean, March 2011
• Side events at UNFCC Cop

Increased support for climate change

• Second pillar of the GCCA
• 206 million (2008-2011)
• 83 million (2012-2013)
• Promote approaches to integrate climate change
  into development planning and budgeting
• Focus on integration of climate change in poverty
  reduction efforts, adaptation in water and
  agriculture, REDD, CDM and DRR
• Mainstreaming programmes and workshops
• Implementation of NAPAs
• Budget support as preferred modality

5
Technical and Financial support (Pillar 2) -
What are the priorities?

• Mainstreaming climate change into poverty
  reduction and development efforts
• Adaptation actions particularly in water and
  agriculture sectors
• Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
  degradation (REDD)
• Enhancing participation in the global carbon
  market
• Disaster Risk reduction (DRR)

Criteria of Access to GCCA funding

• The criteria used to prioritise the countries are
  the following
• LDC and/or SIDS recipients of aid (according to
  the official OECD/DAC and UN lists
  http//www.oecd.org/dataoecd/32/40/43540882.pdf
  and http//www.un.org/special-rep/ohrlls/sid/list.
  htm)
• Vulnerability to climate change
• Adaptive capacity
• Political commitment
• Funds are allocated to the highest ranking
  countries, based on population figures and on
  availability of resources.

Lessons learned aid effectiveness,mainstreaming
budget support

• Ownership supporting developing countries
  agendas
• National development or sector strategies
• National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs)
• Alignment using country systems
• Promoting CC integration into national dvpt
  planning budgeting
• Country programmes
• Training workshops with ministries of finance
• Budget support for climate change
• Harmonisation improved coordination (within EU,
  with other partners)
• Joint financing (e.g. GCCA with IE, CY, CZ, SE,
  Estonia)
• Joint programming (e.g. GCCA with DK, GE, UN)
• Paving the way for scaled up climate change
  response
• through dialogue, capacity building and actions

What is the Intra-ACP Programme?

• Part of the GCCA
• Period 2011-2014
• All activities linked to sustainable development
  and achievement of Millennium Development Goals
  (MDGs)
• 6 components
• 5 geographical components
• and 1 support component
• Overall coordination by the ACP Secretariat

12
INTRA-ACP Programme Support to access Funds

• Communicate on new opportunities offered by funds
  or other climate change related programmes
• Detailed briefings on the existing funds
  (eligibility criteria, priorities, precise
  requirements, clarification on application
  forms,...).
• Country-based consultations in view of matching
  country priority needs with available
  opportunities and development of an action plan
  to get access to funding
• Mobilise short term TA to develop project
  proposals or carry out other short term tasks
  that require in-country presence and
  consultations.

13
Modalities of support from the Climate Change
ACP Programme

• Both the country-based consultations and the
  provision of short term Technical assistance are
  DEMAND-DRIVEN
• Priority will be given to LDCs and SIDS.

14
Workshop methodology

• Each module is presented as follows
• Part 1 Presentation session
• Part 2 Turning words into action session
• discussion on the presentation, exchange of
  experiences and identification of specific needs
  of the country related to the subject
• Where to find the information
• presentation of case studies
• practical exercise

15
Workshop objectives

• Learning objectives
• To be aware that additional external sources of
  finance through climate finance could be a
  response to the country needs in dealing with
  climate change impacts in their development
  process
• To provide a brief introduction of the main
  existing external sources of finance of climate
  change
• Expected outcomes
• Increased awareness on the fact that external
  funds should fully be incorporated into national
  planning processes and not processed as
  standalone projects
• Increased knowledge of the accessing modalities
  and procedures of these fund mechanisms
