  1. Country Support Needs to Mainstream Climate Resilience into Planning and Budgeting Ashley Palmer Capacity Development Program Specialist UNDP Asia Pacific Regional Centre 30th September 2013

  2. Overview of Session • 15 minutes (15:45-16:00) • Presentation: Key concepts and issues related to institutional mainstreaming of climate resilience initiatives at the country level • 1 hour (16:00 – 17:00) • Group work in country teams • 1 hour (17:00 – 18:00) • Groups report back to plenary on key points from group discussions; feedback on support needs

  3. Institutionalization and Mainstreaming How can these concepts be understood in the context of climate resilience and country systems? • Embedding a capacity building program within a broader institutional system; into existing decision making processes; into existing national systems (including for planning, budgeting, coordination, consultation, information sharing, M&E); but also identifying gaps in systems • Integrating a capacity building program with other similar/complementary initiatives (linking ECCA to initiatives such as NAP formulation) • Considering Capacity Development (CD) needs: the multiple dimensions and levels of capacity

  4. Considering Capacity Development Needs in the Context of Mainstreaming Capacity Development needs are consistently mentioned, in all their complexity: national/sub-national; technical/sectoral and functional/cross-cutting; short and long term CD needs; Govt and other stakeholders Technical and Functional Capacities • Technical capacities: includes skills in the area of economics of climate change adaptation • Functional capacities: cross cutting; enable the “use” of technical skills

  5. A Systems Approach to Capacity Development Institutions and Systems

  6. Overarching Context The focus on mainstreaming and institutional Capacity Development (CD) here is relevant at many levels: • There is recognition of the persistence of “capacity development needs” and “capacity gaps” • Preparation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) will also require integration of climate risks into existing development planning and budgeting systems, in a cross-sectoral manner, and therefore an understanding of CD needs at country level • Overall, there are increasing levels of complexity in addressing development challenges: more actors; more need for collaboration; more pressure on resources and competing priorities

  7. Country Specific Analysis • The analysis of support needs (for mainstreaming climate resilience into planning/budgeting) will need to be specific to each context/country, so that support can be tailored • Consider issues of policy framework; decision-making and leadership; accountability mechanisms; knowledge sharing/management; stakeholder engagement (within and outside Government) • Analyze what is already ongoing • Consider issues of sustainability

  8. Working Group Discussion Scenario: Your country team has been asked to make a proposal for a 2-year support program to mainstream climate resilience into planning and budgeting processes. You have 1 hour to analyze what is needed and propose the main components of such a program. Issues for consideration: • Analyze what initiatives are already underway to build capacity to integrate climate into planning/budgeting; what is working and what is not? • Consider whether there has beenadequate analysis of the capacity needs for mainstreaming • Consider the priority needs through the framework of technical/functional; training and institutional strengthening

  9. “2-year program to build capacity for mainstreaming climate into pl/bd” At the end of one hour, your country team proposal should include: • Are there additional analyses/assessments needed to further define the program? • Who will be the key target groups of the program (e.g. Parliament? Local government? Private sector?) and why? • What types of capacities need to be strengthened, for each target group (technical skills in particular areas; awareness; policy making) • How will this program build on existing initiatives? What additional support is required and from whom? • What is needed for your program to be sustainable at the end of two years? • How to know if the program has been successful and achieved results? Be as specific as possible, within the limits of one hour…

  10. Mechanics • Discuss in country teams for 1 hour • Nominate one person from your country team to make a brief presentation back to the plenary (5-7 minutes per country team) • Take down key points on flip chart paper, so our team can have a record of each team’s discussions and ideas

  11. Thank you
