Issues
Assessment of technology needs cannot ignore associated needs for capacity / ‘enabling environment’ & should not be an end in itself
UNIDO programme aims to mobilize national & (sub-) regional capacity & develop mechanisms that support [industrial] technology transfer (including pre-project, project and post project launch issues)
Previous efforts largely ignored industry and its potential to assist in achieving CC/CDM goals
q       Pre-project issues
Ø      identification and removal of barriers to technology transfer and absorption
Ø      identification of national sustainable (industrial) development objectives and appropriate criteria
Ø      identification of technology and technology information needs
Ø      access to and utilization of appropriate sources of information
Ø      preparation of sectoral & national baselines
Ø      support to the processes of FDI (e.g. matchmaking services, investment events);
q       Project issues
Ø      formulation and development of CDM projects
Ø      application of baselines and determination of additionality for CDM project
Ø      assessment of technologies to determine their appropriateness
Ø      negotiation with project/technology sponsors;
q       Post project launch issues
Ø      management of the process of technology transfer
Ø      management of the projects (technical and economic aspects)
Ø      management and absorption of the technologies once transferred under the CDM
Ø      monitoring the projects and
Ø      certifying emissions’ reductions from the projects.

3. Phases
3 phases
Phase I: National review of industry & past CC/CDM activities—background studies
Phase II: Detailed capacity & targeted technology needs assessments—preparatory assistance (to develop programme to submit to donors / donor agencies)
Phase III: Programme implementation—learning-by-doing

Industry interests increasingly represented at COP/MOPs
Each country now has ‘core’ team--members have different expertise
Technology/sectoral, investment, finance, energy, information, policy/legislation
Each country has mobilized stakeholders in each major sector of the economy
Now ca. 200 individuals in present Africa ‘network’
