  1. APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010

  2. APEC Project Circle

  3. Stage 1 Concept Note development and submission

  4. STEP 1 • What you need : Concept Note Template + APEC-wide Funding Criteria + Guidebook on APEC Projects 7th Ed. • Concept Note: • Relevance: the most important criteria - How does the project meet the priorities of your forum and APEC as a whole? And Why should APEC undertake this project? • Objectives: What does the project seek to achieve? Be SMART. • Alignment: How the project will help achieve APEC’s key priorities and meet the forum’s work plan or medium-term plan. • Methodology: How do you plan to implement the project? Timeline, Stakeholders, Previous Projects, Communication

  5. STEP 1 • No more than 3 A4 pages including the title page. • Be concise and to the point !

  6. STEP 2 • Factors to be considered: • APEC-wide Funding Criteria • Leaders/Ministerial/SOM directives • potential contribution to the forum’s work plan, APEC’s and the relevant Committee’s priorities • APEC value add and value for money • 1 + 2 : PP must find a sponsor (usually their own economy) and at least 2 co‑sponsors to support the project. Check with your PD!

  7. STEP 3 • To be eligible for APEC funding, PP must secure endorsement of their forum for their concept note. • Fora rank all Concept Notes using the APEC-wide Funding Criteria. • Example: • EWG 1, EWG 2, EWG 3. EWG 4 • SMEWG 1, SMEWG 2 • etc.

  8. STEP 4 • The endorsed and ranked concept notes, along with the fora’s endorsement justification, must be submitted to the APEC Secretariat by the advertised submission deadline.

  9. Stage 2 Priority assessment of Concept Notes

  10. STEP 5 (Timeframe: 10 days) • Committee members individually send their ranks, prioritization and justifications to the Secretariat.

  11. STEP 6 • a two-step process: • consensus on the broad band rank is determined by majority • the priority within each broad band rank is determined by averaging member votes. • APEC Secretariat then sorts the concept notes by fund. • If there are more concept notes than can be funded within a particular broad band rank, the Secretariat will refer the relevant rankings of to each economy’s Principal Decision-Maker (PDM) for further prioritisation

  12. STEP 7 • The Secretariat advises the BMC on which concept notes can be funded, based on the priority assessment and the amount available in each (sub)fund.

  13. STEP 8 • The BMC provides in-principle funding approval for concept notes, subject to the full project proposals receiving a ‘satisfactory’ quality assessment.

  14. STEP 9 • Successful PPs are invited to work with the Secretariat and Project Management Officer to submit full project proposals . • Unsuccessful PPs can resubmit their concept note in the next funding round. All re-submitted concept notes will be treated as new submissions.

  15. Stage 3 Full proposal development

  16. STEP 10 • APEC Project Proposal Template • Proposals must be succinct, to the point and address the assessment criteria. • No more than 10 A4 pages.

  17. “ REEIS “

  18. “ REEIS “ Relevance: Whether a project is needed to achieving the APEC priorities and objectives of the target group, the recipient member economies and APEC as a whole. Effectiveness: HOW a project will take place, the likelihood that a project will meet its objectives Efficiency: HOW a project will take place, particularly measuring of the outputs (services, goods) in relation to the inputs (cost of resources) = cost-efficient Impact: WHAT the project seeks to change Sustainability: whether the benefits of a project are likely to continue after the project has finished

  19. STEP 11 • PP must secure endorsement of their forum for their full project proposal to be eligible for APEC funding. • Tool : the Quality Assessment Framework (QAF) • A proposing economy cannot provide a QAF assessment for its own proposal. But, Co-sponsoring economies can!

  20. STEP 12 • The Project Management Unit (PMU) will draw upon the QAF comments and uses REEIS to assess proposals. • Proposals must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ against REEIS to be recommended for funding. • APEC Secretariat provides a recommendation to BMC for their approval.

  21. STEP 13 The BMC approves full project proposals requiring APEC funding up to and including USD200,000. The BMC recommends projects requiring more than USD200,000 of APEC funding toSOMfor approval. The Secretariat will notify the PP of the outcome of the BMC’s considerations.

  22. Project Management Unit Report

  23. From Session 3/2011 onwards • Deadline for CNs submission for S3/2011 : 29 September • Pilot Stage of Multi-Year Project • The “Two Strike Rule”: The rulewill be applied at the quality assessment stage – the rule will apply only to proposals that had been granted in-principle approval, but failed to reach satisfactory quality within the required time period. • The Funding Cap: APEC funded amount stated in concept notes will be considered the funding cap allowed at the full proposal stage. • Direct Contracting : PMU will draft a guideline – the appropriate conditions for direct contracts – for BMC members consideration

  24. Introduction to ASF - ANSSR • In November 2010, Australia announced A$3 million for the • Australia APEC Partnership for Economic Reform (AAPER) aiming to increase the capacity of APEC developing economy members to implement structural reform agenda in line with APEC’s New Strategy for Structural Reform (ANSSR). • This will involve the establishment of a sub‐fund under the • APEC Support Fund (ASF) : ASF – ANSSR with the total value of A$2.5 million will be operational from session 3/2011for 3 years. • - A$500,000 in 2011 • - A$1 million in 2012 and • - A$1 million in 2013/14

  25. Introduction to ASF - ANSSR • Projects need to be strongly aligned with individual economies’ plans to implement the ANSSR • Priority will be given to projects that: • - Benefit APEC economies that are eligible for development assistance • - of a higher value than standard projects (greater than A$200,000); • - an implementation period of at least 12 months. • Projects may primarily benefit a single economy but • need to have lessons for APEC members more broadly.

  26. Multi-Year Project

  27. Multi-Year Project

  28. Normal Project VS MYP

  29. Multi-Year Project • During this pilot stage, approval of multi-year project concept notes will be limited to 2-3 per approval session. • Multi-year projects may be funded from any APEC project fund. Multi-year project funding will be released on an annual basis, with multi-year projects receiving priority in each fund’s annual allocation. • Co-funding Requirements including TILF, ASF and OA: • 50 % for developed economies • 20 % for developing economies • But,TILF contributor do NOT requite to co-funding for TILF projects.
