Anticipated Duration Estimated total cost The NDA may add other elements to the country programme and will also undertake stakeholder consultations in a manner that is consistent with the Fund s defined scope of work in the Standardised Package for Country Strategic Frameworks (available at: Work_Package_2_Country_Programme.pdf). 01/11/ /10/2017 (24 months) Up to US$300,000 SECTION A: RATIONALE FOR REQUEST A.1 Background Led by the National Planning Department in the Ministry of Finance, Zambia is currently preparing for the Seventh National Development Plan , which will lay out the country s development priorities. The Department is also coordinating Zambia s engagement in the Sustainable Development Goals and Post-2015 development agenda. In order to tackle issues of extreme poverty in the face of climate change, Zambia s strategy includes mainstreaming climate change concerns into the vulnerable sectors of the economy, including land use, water, infrastructure, energy and governance among others. The NDA is well placed to influence the mainstreaming of climate change in national and sector development programmes. The NDA has received a mandate (approved by Secretary to Cabinet and the Secretary to the Treasury) to establish a unit to manage processes related to the GCF and oversee the operations of GCF projects/programmes in the country. The Unit has been given mandate to coordinate all climate change programming and financing for Zambia. It builds on the Interim Climate Change Secretariat that was earlier established to coordinate the country s participation in GCF processes at global level. The unit will be managed by a National Coordinator and will report to the National Planning Director (NDA official contact person). In terms of personnel, the approved structure has a National Coordinator, six (6) Specialists and eight (8) junior professional staff. The positions were identified using three main criteria: (1) The role of the NDA both at country and global levels and (2) The Sustainable Development Goal pillars in conformity with the country National Development Plan (NDP) process as approved by Cabinet; and (3) The need for a more coordinated approach to national climate change programming and financing for better results. Further, in order to rationalize resources, a phased approach has been adopted with only two (2) version December 2014

4 READINESS AND PREPARATORY SUPPORT PROPOSAL PAGE 3 OF 9 Specialists and a National Coordinator have been put in place to kick-start the project. These members of staff are from within the Government and are funded with the government s resources and this team is already in place save for four (4) specialists. The long-term objective of the unit is too assist with mainstreaming climate change into development in Zambia. This approach was preferred for a number of reasons such as the need to fully capitalize and balance between mainstreaming the functions of the NDA into Government but at the same time provide the necessary identity, visibility and autonomy of the NDA. The mandate of the NDA goes beyond the GCF portfolio but includes coordination of all climate change programming and financing in Zambia but the sectors will continue to play their specialized roles in the climate change process. Zambia has taken a number of measures to address climate change challenges in the country. It is drafting a National Climate Change Response Strategy toward the development of a National Policy on Climate Change. It has also developed a National Adaptation Plan of Action, which highlight the vulnerability of the agricultural sector to climate change impacts, such as, drought, flooding, extreme temperatures and prolonged dry spells. The Revised Sixth National Development Plan has prioritised agriculture, energy development, construction, tourism, mining and rural development all of which are susceptible to climate change. Zambia has accessed climate finance from other sources such as the Least Developed Countries Fund to undertake adaptation measures in the agricultural sector, as well as the Pilot Program on Climate Resilience. In terms of GCF readiness, since 2014, Germany s technical cooperation agency (GIZ) supported the development of the Climate Proofing Manual to assist ministries in their planning and budgeting processes so as to effectively integrate climate- relevant aspects of climate change in sector development plans, otherwise referred to as climate proofing. This process was undertaken considering that it contributes to building the essential long-term capacities to identify and develop projects and programmes that are climateproofed and can be supported financially. A.2 Justification for request With GCF readiness support, the NDA will augment the capacity of the NDA unit with consultants that work alongside the staff in the unit. While the staff of the unit will have more general expertise, it is expected that the consultants will bring specific (e.g. sectoral) knowledge and depth of expertise with a global perspective to advise the NDA unit on the identification of climate change project/programme interventions that also address social dimensions of development. The consultants will also bring knowledge of opportunities that could provide quick gains for addressing climate change in Zambia. In addition, the consultants will also assist the NDA in packaging Zambia s priorities for the GCF into a strategic plan through the country programme. With respect to the GCF, Zambia initially intends to access resources from the GCF for projects and programmes through the World Bank, an accredited entity of the GCF, for an interim period up to December During this period, the NDA also intends to use the readiness support to inform potential national entities on the prospects and requirements for accreditation with the GCF, and coordinate and guide the selection of relevant entity/ies with the expertise to address climate change in the key priority areas identified in the country programme. Readiness support provided by the GCF will also enable the NDA to undertake these processes through multi-stakeholder consultation processes.

These activities will be undertaken between 14 th March 2016 and 31 th December 2016 at USD300, 000. (i) The Secretariat may provide feedback aimed at strengthening the approach proposed in the inception document to ensure consistency and coherence with the decisions on readiness taken by the Board and the Governing Instrument of the Fund

12 PAGE 2 OF 19 ACTIVITY AREA 1 1 : STRENGTHENING OF NATIONAL DESIGNATED AUTHORITY A.1 Assessment of strengths and needs Zambia is, from time immemorial, not only peaceful, but a role-player in international efforts seeking peace, for example, the liberation movements in Southern Africa. In the same vain, Zambia is role-player in the ambitious contribution to combat adverse effects of climate change. The country is leading the way in reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. One of its national parks, the Lower Zambezi National Park, recently achieved the status of world s first carbon neutral national park from operations. This far, the country has already engaged with some climate finances, and some funds have been accessed. For example, about USD76.5 million has been accessed from the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) under the Climate Investment Fund (CIF) for the Pilot Program on Climate Resilience (PPCR), and close to USD18, 200,000 from the Least Developed Countries Fund (LCDF). Other funds accessed include USD4, 500,000 from the United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (UN-REDD Programme), USD3, 000,000 from the Germany s International Climate Initiative (GICI), and USD30, 000 from Japan s Fast Start Finance. In readiness to further engage with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and other climate finance, the National Planning Department (NPD) was approved as Zambia s National Designated Authority (NDA) by the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) through the Secretary to the Treasury and the Secretary to Cabinet. The NPD was approved as Zambia s NDA mainly because it possesses the comprehensive overview of Zambia s broader development agenda, and has influence over the in/outflows of development finances in Zambia. As such, the NDA has the strength to recommend to the Board of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) the funding proposals which are in the context of national climate strategies and plans and in line with the Governing Instrument for the GCF. Moreover, the NPD is institutionally well networked, it is familiar with relevant institutions and stakeholders, including contacts with multilateral and bilateral institutions, civil society organizations, and sub-national, national or regional entities. It has offices in all the ten provinces of Zambia, that is, the Provincial Planning Units (PPUs). Hence, the NPD has the power to effectively undertake ongoing engagements and consultative processes of relevant institutions and multi-stakeholders at sub-national and national levels. Part of what is needed, in this regard, is to translate the key operational procedures of the Fund to local languages. In order to effectively undertake its functions as an NDA, the NPD was authorised to establish a unit within its institutional structure and adopt a project approach led by a National Coordinator. The NDA which is funded using government resources and housed in a government building has a sole function of managing the Fund-related activities and coordinating all climate change programing and financing in Zambia, while the sector institutions continue to play their specialised roles in the climate change process. The NDA, therefore, needs to maintain an overview of all climate change programmes, and develop a monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan which will allow uniformity in the processes in Zambia. The NDA is also playing a role in sourcing or catalysing other climate 1 Please refer to decision Annex XIII Initial best-practice guidelines for the selection and establishment of national designated authorities and focal points to B.08/10 Country Ownership, and B.10/10 Country Ownership, as well as the GCF Secretariat s guide for NDAs/ focal points for further guidance on the responsibilities that countries are expected to fulfil.

13 PAGE 3 OF 19 finances in Zambia, and as such, it needs to identify a local financial intermediary, and enliven the National Climate Fund (NCF). The NDA needs to develop its strategic plan, rules of procedures, and build its capacity in specialised Fund-related activities. Zambia s approach to readiness support was adopted for several reasons, including to permanently mainstream the functions of an NDA into Government, and to provide the necessary visibility and autonomy of an NDA. The approach is timely especially that Zambia is preparing the Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Post 2015 development agenda, under the supervision/coordination of the NDP. The just concluded Revised Sixth National Development Plan (RSNDP) prioritised agriculture, energy development, construction, tourism, mining and rural development, all of which are susceptible to climate change. All in all, the NPD is well placed to mainstream climate change into the vulnerable sectors of Zambia s development plans, to enhance coordination of national climate change programming and financing at sectorial, national, provincial, district, and lower sub-planning levels. It is also well placed to enhance complementarity and coherency of climate funds for better results and to tackle extreme poverty in the face of climate change. A.2 Key stakeholders to be involved Generally, Zambia s NDA will strengthen stakeholder engagement of the private sector, academia, vulnerable groups and women s groups. The key stakeholders to be engaged in, for example, climate policy dialogue, project development, public awareness in Zambia include representatives of thematic Government institutions, private sector institutions, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Faith Based Organisations (FBOs). Specifically, the stakeholders to be engaged include Ministry of National Development Planning (MNDP), Ministry of Finance (MoF), Ministry of Lands Natural Resources and Environmental Protection (MLNREP), Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL), Ministry of Mines (MoM), Ministry of Energy and Water Development (MEWD), Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), Ministry of Works and Supply (MWS), Ministry of Community Development (MCD), Ministry of Gender (MoG), Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU), Zambia Meteorological Department, Interim Inter-ministerial Climate Change Secretariat (IICCS), Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA), Water Resources Management Agency (WARMA), Zambia Civil Society Climate Change Network (ZCSCCN), Jesuits Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR), Zambia Electricity Supply Company (ZESCO) Limited, Zambia Development Agency (ZDA), University of Zambia (UNZA), Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD), Zambia National Women s Lobby (ZNWL), Bank of Zambia (BoZ), World Bank, and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

14 PAGE 4 OF 19 A.3 Proposed process for multi-stakeholder engagement The following processes and opportunities for consultation and input, dissemination of activities, and enhancing gender sensitivity will be sought: a) Use of a technical committee Zambia s NDA is forming a technical committee comprised of representatives of Government institutions, quasi-government institutions, private sector institutions, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), and Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs). This committee will be engaged by the NDA to, among other activities, review and recommend to GCF the climate change adaptation, mitigation and clean energy project proposals especially at end of every quarter. The one-day meetings of the technical committee will be chaired by the Director, National Planning Department, and the NDA staff will be the secretariat. The committee members will be encouraged to brief the institutions they represent of main activities of the committee. b) Use of a national awareness program A communication plan and a national awareness program will be developed by the NDA to enhance engagement of stakeholders at international, national, provincial, district and lower sub-planning levels. The NDA will run a contact centre, phone-in television and radio programs, on-line publications through an interactive and publically accessible website and print media on a quarterly basis using private and national broadcasting providers. c) Use of platforms of development planning discussions Zambia s NDA, National Planning Department (NPD), will ensure Fund-related activities, for example overviews of project concepts, specific to sectors, provinces or districts go through a consultative process with the relevant sector, province or district committees of the already existing platforms of development planning discussions. Also, the NDA will be making presentations on Fund-related issues at these platforms, as well as gathering development and climate challenges and needs from these platforms. These platforms are (1) Sectorial Advisory Groups (SAGs) chaired by Permanent Secretaries (2) Provincial Development Coordinating Committees (PDCCs) chaired by Permanent Secretaries, and (3) District Development Coordinating Committees (DDCCs) chaired by either District Commissioners or Council Secretaries. These platforms are mandated to coordinate development planning, monitoring and evaluation on a quarterly basis in Zambia. It is anticipated that the effectiveness of these platforms of discussions will this time around be enhanced following the creation of new districts, which increased the number of districts in Zambia from 72 to 103, an action believed to have taken public goods and services, including climate change actions, closer to the people. d) Use of baseline survey on climate change issues in Zambia The baseline survey will allow wide range engagement and consultation of stakeholders on climate change issues in Zambia in relevant sectors, provinces and districts. e) Use of national workshops National workshop will allow engagement and consultations of stakeholders when developing the NDA website, a monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan and a Country Programme.

15 PAGE 5 OF 19 A.4 Detailed plan a) Baseline survey on climate change issues in Zambia: A local consultant will be hired to undertake the exercise by developing a methodology, a questionnaire, a database for an exploratory study, clean and analyse the data and produce a preliminary and final reports. Some of the NDA staff will collect and key-in the. The data will form the basis for maintaining an overview of programmes and projects and an understanding of adverse effects of climate change. The overview of climate change programmes and projects will enhance effectiveness, efficiency and prioritization in allocation and use of funds. The results of the survey will be input to the Country Programme, and will help in identifying potential adaptation options and priority projects. b) First national workshop: The first national meeting will bring together the GCF Secretariat staff (by virtual attendance), NDA staff, implementing entities, financial intermediaries, some stakeholders and consultants. The regional GCF personnel with possibly the long term multi-tasked consultant will facilitate at the workshop. The workshop will aim at building the capacity of NDA staff, stakeholders, implementing entities and financial intermediaries on (1) climate and finance priorities (2) GCF opportunities (3) identification and accreditation of national entities, implementing entities and financial intermediaries (4) development of bankable projects, and (5) overview of the no-objection procedure as determined by Zambia's NDA and relevant stakeholders. All the above topics will be handled by one international consultant partnering with one local consultant. The training will help the NDA in enhancing its functions: improving the quality of project proposals, ensuring that the proposals are country owned, gender sensitive, inclusive of vulnerable groups and in conformity with Zambia s and the region s development priorities, laws and regulations. It will also help the NDA in ensuring that the accessed GCF funds are used only for the purposes for which they were granted. The workshop will also aim at engaging and consulting stakeholders on (1) the NDA website, and (2) the monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan. These topics will be handled by the NDA staff. c) Development of a website: This will involve hiring one local consultancy in the form of a specialized service provider/ institution to develop an interactive, publicly accessible website and orienting a few NDA. Other than helping in enhancing communication and liaison between the NDA, implementing entities and the Fund, an interactive website will help in knowledge sharing, dissemination of information, and in fostering transparency and accountability. The choice to directly use an established service provider institution is that this institution is a recognised host of Government websites and this will avoid extra costs that will be incurred if an individual or private institution is used as it still has to go through the service provider thereby taking both the short and long term costs unnecessarily high. d) Development of a monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan: This will involve using long term consultants to develop a monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan, and to develop a uniform system for programmes and projects on climate change in Zambia. e) Translation of key operational procedures:

16 PAGE 6 OF 19 Using one local translator, most likely, the Curriculum Development Centre (CDC) or similar Government institution that Government usually uses to translate documents. The main outputs will be that the NDA will have the key operational procedures of the Fund, including the environmental and social safeguards and the no-objection procedures, translated to the seven official languages which are dominantly spoken in Zambia, namely; Bemba, Chewa, Kaonde, Lozi, Lunda, Luvale and Tonga. f) Production of television and radio programmes: A local institution will be hired to produce and air 20 television and 20 radio programmes. Each programme will be 15 minutes long. The most likely institution to be used is the national television and radio station because it has the widest national coverage and rates lower that some private institutions and individuals because they still have to subcontract the national television and radio station thereby taking the costs high. Where appropriate community radio stations will be used. ACTIVITY AREA 2 2 :COUNTRY PROGRAMMES B.1 List of national climate change policies and initiatives Zambia has made headway in developing policies and initiatives to fight adverse effects of climate change: the 2007 National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA) and a Climate Proofing Manual were developed; The National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) was drafted; and the developments of the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) and the National Policy on Climate Change (NPCC) have advanced. The additional information on key national climate change response initiatives that are to be prioritised in the Country Programme are: a) National Policy on Climate Change (NPCC): The consultations for the development of the NPCC started in 2010 led by MLNREP with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). A draft of the NPCC was developed and submitted in September 2015 to the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC), an advisory office under Cabinet Office. Following guidance from the PAC, an implementation plan for the policy must be developed in collaboration with MLNREP before the NPCC is submitted to Cabinet for final consideration. The implementation plan was drafted. One important aspect the NPCC may cover is the National Climate Fund (NCF). The position regarding this will only be ascertained when the NPCC is approved. b) Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC): Zambia s INDC was submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in September The INDC outlined Zambia s targets and the associated funds. c) National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA): The NAPA was submitted in It highlights the vulnerability of the agriculture, wildlife and tourism, water and energy, natural resources and forestry, and health sectors. It recommended ten projects, and to date, some projects were funded under Ministry of Agriculture (MoF) and the Forestry Department of the Ministry of Environment Natural Resources and Environmental Protection (MENREP) d) Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA): 2 Please refer to Annex XVII Initial general guidelines for country programmes to B.08/11 Revised programme of work on readiness and preparatory support, and the initial framework for country programming developed by the secretariat on a pilot basis for further guidance on the key elements to be elaborated in the inception report.

17 PAGE 7 OF 19 The NAMAs are currently being developed for four sectors: agriculture, transport, forestry, and waste management e) Climate Proofing Manual: This manual was developed with support from the Germany s Technical Cooperation Agency (GIZ). It assists ministries in their planning and budgeting processes to effectively integrate climate-relevant aspects of climate change, and it contributes to building the essential long-term capacities to identify and develop projects and programmes that are climate-proofed and can be supported financially. B.2 List of other existing relevant country strategies The country and donor strategies and programmes that are of relevance in the process of developing the Country Programme are :(1) Vision 2030 (2) Revised-Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP) (3) Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) (4) Sector strategic plans, and (5) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). B.3 Stakeholder consultation on country programmes The institutions to be engaged in the process of developing the Country Programme such as the national stakeholder workshops are : Ministry of National Development Planning (MNDP), which includes its 10 Provincial Planning Units (PPUs); Ministry of Finance (MoF); Ministry of Environment Natural Resources and Environmental Protection (MENREP); Ministry of Agriculture (MoA); Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL); Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development (MMMD); Ministry of Energy and Water Development (MEWD); Ministry of Communication and Transport (MCT); Ministry of Works and Supply (MWS); Ministry of Gender (MoG); Interministerial Climate Change Secretariat (ICCS); Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA); Water Resources Management Agency (WARMA); Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU); Zambia Civil Society Climate Change Network (ZCSCCN); Jesuits Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR); University of Zambia (UNZA); Zambia Agency for Persons with Disability (ZAPD); Zambia National Women s Lobby; Bank of Zambia (BoZ); World Bank; and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The stakeholder engagement approaches anticipated in developing the Country Programme are: (a) Use of a technical committee The technical committee, comprising of representatives of thematic Government institutions, quasi-government institutions, private sector players and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Non-governmental Organisation (NGOs), which, as earlier discussed, will be formed by the NDA will also be engaged in the development of the Country Programme (b) Use of a national awareness program A communication plan, a national awareness program and an interactive website for the NDA will help in multi-stakeholder consultative process by allowing real time commentaries on issues, processes and documents regarding the development of the Country Programme. (c) Use of platforms of development planning discussions:

18 PAGE 8 OF 19 The platforms of discussions used for development planning consultations on a quarterly basis, that is, the Sectorial Advisory Groups (SAGs), the Provincial Development Coordinating Committees (PDCCs) and the District Development Coordinating Committees (DDCCs) meetings, will be used for consultations by allowing some issues, processes and documents regarding the development of the Country Programme to go through some relevant sector, provincial and district committees. (d) Use of national workshop The relevant stakeholders will be engaged and consulted when developing a Country Programme over a national workshop. B.4 Detailed plan for development of country programme a) Review of strategies on climate change in Zambia: The review of strategies will be undertaken by the long term consultant multi-skilled hired to develop the Country Programme. The consultant will review documents which will include the draft NPCC, the NAPA, the NAMAs, etc. Then, the consultant will compare some of the results of the review of strategies to the results of the baseline survey so as to identify gaps and set priorities for the Country Programme. b) Second national workshop: The second national meeting will be a technical workshop for detailed discussions on the following topics (1) the results of the baseline survey on climate changes issues in Zambia (2) the results of the review of strategies on climate change in Zambia, and (3) the development of a Country Programme. The discussions will be handled by the a long term consultant and a local consultant. c) Development of the Country Programme: The Country Programme, as indicated above, will be anchored on the data from the survey on climate change issues and the review of strategies on climate change in Zambia.

NDA capacity to undertake Fund-related responsibiliti es and engage national stakeholders strengthened INDICATORS BASELINES TARGETS 1.1Capacity to coordinate across stakeholders, and facilitate effective consultation and communication 1.2 Knowledge on climate and finance priorities strengthened The number of local and international players in climate change issues have increased steadily. The players, independently, have data on projects and programmes on climate change. There s hardly been an attempt to maintain a holistic overview of all these players. Also, their data are not consolidated on one platform. These gaps justify the need to further strengthen coordination of the players, as well as all climate change initiatives in Zambia NPD relies on the website of the Ministry of Finance. It lacks an interactive and customised website, which will enhance communication and information sharing of Fund-related issues The NDA and its stakeholders have some knowledge on climate and finance priorities based on the documents currently completed. However, the knowledge is less adequate, especially that some strategic frameworks are yet to be completed in Zambia Capacity to coordinate projects strengthened: baseline survey on climate change issues in Zambia, develop a questionnaire, development of a database, collection of data on all climate change initiatives in Zambia, compilation of list of all players undertaken between 18 th March 2016 and 29 th July Capacity to consult and communicate strengthened: development of an interactive, publicly accessible website completed between 29 th August 2016 and 14 th October 2016, with materials available in local languages Knowledge on climate finance priorities strengthened: first national workshop, seminar session on climate and finance priorities, opportunities from the GCF, identification of national entities, development of bankable projects, noobjection procedures undertaken at national workshop between 18 th March 2016 and 18 th April 2016

20 PAGE 10 OF System for reviewing proposals and issuing recommendations (or no-objections) established 1.4 Capacity and systems to monitor, evaluate and report on the activities of the Fund and other relevant finance mechanisms and institutions established A Technical Committee, comprising of NDA staff and other stakeholders, was formed to review proposals. It has some knowledge to review general project proposals. However, the capacity to review project proposals on Fund-related activities is less adequate. Moreover, the procedures on reviewing proposals are not yet documented In Zambia, some Accredited Entities (AEs) are in place, however, there is need to identify more and build capacity of other possible AEs in Fund-related activities Most institutions which are active in climate change activities have fully running monitoring and evaluation systems, however, most systems in Zambia are specific to institutions and lack uniformity Capacity to review proposals and issuing recommendations strengthened: first national workshop, seminar session on developing bankable projects, formulating and assessing project proposals for climate change, no-objection procedure undertaken during the national workshop between 18 th March 2016 and 18 th April System for reviewing proposals and noobjection procedures established between 18 th March 2016 and 18 th April 2016, and ready to be made publicly available once NDA website is developed Capacity of accredited entities strengthened: first national workshop: seminar session on identification, accreditation of entities and training in Fund-related activities undertaken during the national workshop 18 th March 2016 and 18 th April Capacity to monitor, evaluate and report on the activities of the Fund and other relevant finance mechanisms and institutions strengthened: second national meeting, workshop discussions on monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan during the national workshop undertaken between 8 th August 2016 and 19 th August System to monitor, evaluate and report on activities of the Fund and other relevant finance in place between 5 th September and 18 th November 2016

However, there is need for desk-reviews of strategies and priorities to identify needs and gaps to prioritize in the Country Programme Priorities for project and concepts to be developed for accessing the fund developed: informed by NPCC implementation plan and review of strategies on climate change undertaken between 8 th August 2016 and 19 th August 2016

22 PAGE 12 OF Country programming document developed and published in adherence with the initial guidance from the Fund In developing strategies, progress has been. The National Policy on Climate Change (NPCC) was drafted, reviewed by the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC). It will soon be submitted to Cabinet. However, there is need to complete an implementation plan for the NPCC before submission to Cabinet. The NAMAs are being developed Zambia s Country Programme is yet to be developed. Its development will be anchored on the results from the survey in February 2016, the review of strategic frameworks and the national workshop Priorities for project and concepts for accessing the fund developed: support of the completion of the implementation plan undertaken by subjecting it to the national workshop from between 8 th August 2016 and 19 th August Development of a Country Programme finalised between 29 th August 2016 and 7 th October 2016 OUTPUTS PROJECT SUMMARY 1.1 A process for supporting coordination across stakeholders and facilitating engagement (including periodic meetings / workshops) INDICATORS BASELINE TARGET Write up of the coordination process, and convening schedule Website, meeting minutes and participation lists of documenting engagement The number of local and international players in climate change issues have increased steadily. The players, independently, have data on projects and programmes on climate change. There s hardly been an attempt to maintain a holistic overview of all these players. Also, their data are not consolidated on one platform. These gaps justify the need to further strengthen coordination of the players, as well as all climate change initiatives in Zambia NPD relied on the website of the Ministry of Finance. Following the creation of new ministries by Government, the NPD now falls under a newly created Ministry of National Development Planning. It lacks an interactive and customised website, which will enhance communication and information sharing of Fund-related issues Baseline survey on climate change issues; development of a questionnaire; development of a database; collection of data on all climate change initiatives; compilation of all players; basis for maintaining an overview of climate change issues and coordination in Zambia undertaken between 18 th March 2016 and 29 th July National workshops, discussions between 18 th March 2016 and 29 th July 2016, and between 8 th August 2016 and 19 th August An interactive and publicly accessible website developed between 29 th August 2016 and 14 th October 2016

23 PAGE 13 OF Meeting minutes and participant lists documenting engagement of at least two groups Undertake dedicated capacity building activities (training, workshops) for NDA and other relevant stakeholders With regards to the NDA s readiness to engage with the Fund, there are some gaps in some areas that need capacity building: knowledge on climate and finance priority is less adequate; some strategies have not been completed; capacity to review proposals is less adequate; procedures to review proposals not yet documented; more trained possible accredited entities needed; and monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan less uniform The NDA and the technical committee have some knowledge on climate and finance priorities based on the documents currently completed which is less adequate, especially that some strategic frameworks are yet to be completed. They have knowledge to review general project proposals. However, the capacity to review project proposals on Fund-related activities is less adequate. Moreover, the procedures on reviewing proposals are yet finalised. Some accredited entities are in place, however, there is need to identify more and build capacity of other possible accredited entities National workshops: on climate and finance priorities, opportunities from the GCF, identification of national entities, development of bankable projects, noobjection procedures, identification, accreditation of entities, monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan, the results of the survey, the results of the review of strategies, and the implementation plan for the NPCC and Country Programme between 18 th March 2016 and 29 th July 2016 and 8 th August 2016 and 19 th August First national workshop: seminar on climate and finance priorities, opportunities from the GCF, development of bankable projects, noobjection procedure and identification, and accreditation of national entities held between 18 th March 2016 and 29 th July System for reviewing proposals and noobjection procedure established during the national workshop between 5 th September 2016 and 11 th November 2016

However, there is need for desk-reviews of strategies and priorities which are in progress in Zambia so as to identify needs and gaps to prioritize in the Country Programme In developing strategies, progress has been made in some. The NPCC was drafted, reviewed by the Policy Advisory Committee. It will soon be submitted to Cabinet. However, there is need to develop an implementation plan for the NPCC before submission to Cabinet. The NAMAs are underway, yet to be completed Zambia s Country Programme is yet to be developed. Its development will be anchored on the results from the survey in February 2016, the review of strategic frameworks and the national workshop in March The NDA will have to subject some of the proceedings of the development of the country programme to stakeholders The NDA will have to keep track of all lessons learnt in developing the country programme Review of strategies on climate change in Zambia completed 13 th June 2016 and 22 nd July Support to complete the implementation plan for the NPCC undertaken by subjecting the plan to the national workshop between 8 th August 2016 and 19 th August Development of a country programme by a consultant between 29 th August 2016 and 7 th October 2016, using the initial guidance on country programmes prepared by the GCF secretariat Agenda and summaries from the national workshop between 8 th August 2016 and 19 th August 2016 convened as part of the Country Program process have been produced and disseminated At least one short note on lessons learnt from Country Programming, and good practice in stakeholders engagement have been produced and disseminated by 31 st December 2016
