  3. CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT • November 1994 : Côte d’Ivoire ratified the UNFCCC. • The government recognized with the international community the reality of the threat caused by the “Climate Change” or “global warming”. • Within this context, the government has sought to participate in the UNEP initiated project for CD4CDM in Africa. • In its initial stage (phase one) that ended in Dec 2002, the CD4CDM project has approved in May 2003 a work plan for the next three years. • The National CDM Focal Point is ANDE, host of the CD4CDM project. • IRENis a Technical Assistance Structure for the DNA.

  4. AWARENESS CREATION FOR GOVERNMENT AND CAPACITY BUILDING FOR POLICY MAKERS • ·Planned activities • Ratification of the Kyoto Protocol • Establishment of a National Authority for CDM through a proposal of a decree submitted to the government Board. • Capacity building for policy makers through the organization of workshops for many structures including some ministries, members of the Supervisory Board of Côte d’Ivoire DNA. •  Presentation of the project to the Environment Parliamentary Committee, the representatives of the people

  6. Factors for success of implementation of CD4CDM project • Country stability • Human resources needed in quantity and in quality • Sufficient financing • Requisite new technologies equipments • Specific barriers to effective implementation and possible options for addressing it • Gaps assessment was done basing on: • ·              Annual activities report and recommendations 2003-2004, • ·              Reports on the phase one and preparatory meetings, • ·              Discussions with designated DNA members, • ·              Participation in various seminars and workshops.

  7. Specific barriers to effective implementation The following gaps were identified:  §     The Kyoto Protocol: not ratified yet Despite the deadline for the ratification fixed in the National work plan by July 2003. Despite efforts undertaken by the CDM Follow-Up Committee led by ANDE and the Ministry in charge of environment. Reasons of the delay: The political and social crisis that Côte d’Ivoire is currently facing. Solution: ANDE was committed to have the Kyoto Protocol ratified as soon as possible. NB: The government Board is sovereign

  8. §Absence of a written convention between UCCEE Risoe center and the government of Côte d’Ivoire: § Lack of national sustainable development criteria: SDC needed for project evaluation and approval. Solutions: 1- The team of Côte d’Ivoire has provided for the recruitment of consultants to develop these criteria. 2- Contribution of all stakeholders under the leadership of the Ministry of the Environment, the technical assistance of ANDE, IREN, UFR-SGE and other national experts for better results. 3- Specific budget request to UCCEE RISO by ANDE.

  9. Activities for the next six months • -    Ratification of the Kyoto Protocol: With the Accra Summit held within this month, a solution is expected and we hope a good running of all the activities. • Establishment of National Criteria for sustainable Development to be submitted to the government because all the ministries departments are concerned. •  Development of a CDM projects portfolio to be submitted to the relevant ministers for consultation. • -   The training of the whole government

  10. CONCLUSION • The government knows about the stakes of CDM in Côte d’Ivoire. We face a political but not a technical blocking. • The ratification of kyoto Protocol together with the establishment of the DNA will follow as soon as the government meets again.
