Presentation Transcript

  1. CBA Programme in SAMOA Presenter: Ms. Leilani Duffy, NC/SRC GEF-Small Grants Programme / NZAID PEF SAMOA

  2. Portfolio of existing community projects • Current SGP portfolio • SGP 2005-2007: 58 projects approved, 18 under execution. • Most projects completed are planning grants, current projects are full-grants between $15,000 - $50,000.00 WST • Project Typologies: Theme “Capacity Building Stakeholders”

  3. Opportunities for building resilience to CC in GEB • POTENTIAL PROJECT EXAMPLES • Community-based tropical cyclone vulnerability reduction through ecosystem protection of mangroves, wetlands and coastal zone. Example: coastal rehabilitation, tree planting, coral reef restoration, shoreline improvement • Community-based landslips / flooding vulnerability reduction through small hard solutions such as; strengthening water flow systems, waste management, reforestation to reduce soil erosion; improve water quality for consumption etc Village Consultation – Group Discussion Men and Women (Vaovai Village) Coastal erosion / mangrove ecosystem

  4. Opportunities for cash co-financing

  5. NSC Modification and Country Programme Development

  6. Strategies and Support for Project Development • Support services for proposal development: • Consultant in 2005; 5 month-intern in 2007 (CCPS, proposals ; cheap but big turn-over) • Strategies for maximizing community-drivenness while ensuring proposal requirements and SPA eligibility • Inception workshop and capacity building • Little understanding of CC by CBOs. Need for local experts support, and a lot of training. • Challenge to translate local issues in CC adaptation language for proposals. • Capacity building strategies for grantees (understanding climate change, writing proposals, etc) • Workshops • Site visits • Support from local experts (consultants from private sector or ministries)

  7. Additional Slides for PDF-B Countries • Inception workshop: • Stakeholder consultation mapping out a niche for CBA ; • Group discussion for priority areas • Government presentation on NAPA and link to CBA through communities / NGOs • Development of CPS • Information from inception workshop • Existing literature – NAPA, PACC, NSCA, First Nat Com and Second Nat Com and previous projects CBDAMPIC, CIM Plans etc • Pilot Activities • Vaovai Village marine and mangrove ecosystem rehabilitation – concept paper • In progress refining concept paper and resubmit to CBA Team NY • Lessons Learned Phase-1 CBA National Stakeholder Workshop 2005
