Introductory Mission UCCEE and ENDA: July 02 Introduction to Nat. stakeholders National Project Host: SAAIJSP Project National Institution: BNETD Good potential for CDM related project activities Limited understanding of CDM issues

Awareness Workshop Awareness Workshop, Abidjan, 9 Oct. 02: project introduction to all stakeholders UCCEE, ENDA and national stakeholders: 57 participants 8 Gov entities (19 pers.), 8 Nat inst (16), 11 NGO (13), 4 Private sect (4), 4 UN (5) Participants expressed project interest and made CC relevant recommendations: - A djust the institutional framework to climate change response requirements; - Encourage technical and policy dialogue between stakeholders.

Institutional Capacity Needs 1)Observed: difficulties for interviewee determination of own capacity needs 2)Needed: Further familiarization with CC and CDM concepts 3)Needed: GHG reduction quantity determination 4)Needed: Validation / Verification procedure information / training 5)Needed: Familiarization with CDM market operation (investors)

Project Developers’ meeting Consultation meeting, Bnetd, 17 Dec. 02: project introduction to potential developers Technical Ministries, NGO, Private sector: 14 participants, 6 entities Participants expressed project interest and emphasized capacity needs

Project Dev. capacity Needs 1)Observed: difficulties for interviewee determination of own capacity needs 2)Needed: Basic conventional/Cdm project discrimination tools 3)Needed: Target-company information 4)Needed: Clean technology information 5)Needed: Project development guide 6)Needed: Baseline determination 7)Needed: Monitoring GHG reduction

Draft National Workplan Process Mapping for DNA determination Elaboration on specific DNA role Identification of basic set-up models Identification of relevant stakeholders Capacity Assessment Plan capacity development

Specific DNA Role R1- facilitate Kyoto protocol ratification R2- attract international CDM investments R3- develop national CDM communication and marketing R4- provide guidance to project developers R5- determine national approval criteria R6- coordinate project validation, monitoring and verification activities R7- satisfy EB reporting requirements regarding national approval, registration, monitoring and certification; R8- organize local record-keeping.

3 Basic set-up models Model 1/ DNA = Government Department : one or more govt dpts Model 2/ DNA = National Committee: Govt + NGO + Private Model 3/ DNA = Outsourced: non govt (NGO, Private)

Preferred set-up model Model 2/ DNA = National Committee RCI: institutional framework needs adjusting to climate change response requirements (Awareness Workshop) Technical and policy dialogue between stakeholders needs to be encouraged (Awareness Workshop) CDM as recent and unfamiliar market: (Initial UCCEE Abidjan Mission). Recommended institution of a technical committee in charge of project selection (Awareness Workshop)

Stakeholder Identification

Prospects National Discussion of current draft Additions, adjustments and corrections Capacity development: Plan + Budget Validation at National workshop Prompt actual DNA creation can be expected through continuing efficient institutional support

CONCLUSION Key elements of workplan development are in place Holding national workshop is within weeks The present workshop will be instrumental in workplan finalization and national workshop organization Smooth project progress across all participating SSA countries anticipated
