11 PAGE 10 OF 19 Ver. 30 November SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please explain how this grant will help deliver on the country s readiness needs as identified above and build on institutions, processes or existing work already underway in the country (maximum 500 words) Compared to many countries, Peru s emissions are marginal; nonetheless, its emissions drivers reveal existing inefficiencies and non-sustainable practices within the consumption and production systems. For this reason, Peru has been working on its greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions reduction management as a means to increase the country s productivity and contribute to a sustainable development. According to Peru s Third National Communication to the UNFCCC (MINAM, April 2016), in 2012, the three categories with major shares in the national emissions were LULUCF (51%), energy (26%) and agriculture (15%). In its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Peru commits to reducing its GhG emissions by 20% (an additional 10% is conditional on international assistance) in comparison to a businessas-usual scenario by In terms of adaptation goals, the Peruvian NDC defines five priority areas for adaptation action. As the first of all Latin American countries, Peru ratified the Paris Agreement in July There have been key milestones achieved on both the mitigation and the adaptation arena related to i) the development of information and information tools, ii) mainstreaming adaptation into national planning instruments (i.e. public investment), and iii) formulation of national and subnational climate change strategies and plans (such as NAMAs) in order to establish the priorities in this regard. However, a variety of demands and gaps still need to be addressed in order to improve the integrity and ambition required to tackle climate change s impacts, the resulting challenges and opportunities. The NDA has identified two main components in which the Fund s readiness programme could bring high added value to the current climate change management (taking into consideration the ongoing initiatives): i) Strengthening the NDA ii) Strategic Engagement Framework with the Fund / country programme Appropriately fulfilling the roles of a NDA is currently a challenge because of the lack of structure to properly communicate and implement the GCF procedures (such as the no-objection procedure and assessments for potentials NIEs). Moreover, being the GCF a relatively new mechanism, the NDA s team budget and capacities which counts with a small staff do not allow for proper implementation and management of ongoing multi-stakeholder consultation activities at the national and subnational level with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. In this context, the readiness support will strengthen capacities to gain expertise on GCF procedures not only within the NDA but also in other relevant sectors. In order to build country ownership and facilitate direct access, the readiness support will also allow Peru to develop general guidelines for national institutions with high potential and interest to become accredited entities. Furthermore, there is a need to articulate climate change priorities with different stakeholders including civil society and the private sector. The above mentioned lack of structure also represents a barrier for Peru to be able to translate the existing country strategies and plans into a strategic Country Programme. For that reason, the coordination between the NDA (Ministry of Economy and Finance) and other ministries such as environment, transport, housing, energy and agriculture, and other relevant stakeholders (regional governments, private sector and civil society) will ensure a clear and consolidated climate change Country Programme that considers the new National Climate Change Strategy (September 2015), the Nationally Determined Contributions, as well as further relevant strategies and plans at both national, sectorial and subnational levels. Finally, to encourage different stakeholders participation and shed light on the opportunities and

12 PAGE 11 OF 19 Ver. 30 November complementarities that the GCF entails, Readiness Support will allow the NDA to develop their capacity to lead the process, coordinate, and diffuse GCF s information and materials at the national and subnational level. These spaces will also be used for addressing questions and concerns related to the Fund s operations and requirements.

13 PAGE 12 OF 19 Ver. 30 November SECTION 4: BUDGET, PROCUREMENT, IMPLEMENTATION AND DISBURSEMENT 4.1. BUDGET SUMMARY GIZ is a company under private law, owned by the German Federal Government.

This ensures the transparent allocation of costs in accordance with the causality principle, as required under price law. Under public price law, GIZ is further only allowed to pass on reasonable costs (of an efficiently managed enterprise) to its clients. Includes national and international experts on climate change, project management and internal services that can be directly allocated to the project activities. GIZ hires national and international staff with profound knowledge on climate change readiness to ensure a high GIZ Personnel quality of advisory services towards our partners. GIZ staff aims at building long term working relationships with the partners to maximize outcomes and to further develop strategies for the future through a steady minimum number of contact points. Internal GIZ staff will furthermore ensure high quality results from and coordinate with external consultants.

Please attach an implementation map or describe how funds will be managed by the NDA/FP or delivery partner If the entity implementing the readiness support is not an accredited entity of the GCF, please complete the Financial Management Capacity Assessment (FMCA) questionnaire and submit it with this proposal. Readiness and preparatory support in all the requested areas will be implemented through Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in close cooperation with the National Designated Authority and other relevant stakeholders. In collaboration with NDA, GIZ will competitively procure services and goods that are consistent with GIZ and the Government of Peru policies: - Consultants will be procured on a competitive basis and according to detailed terms of reference. - For items such as venues and travel for stakeholder workshops, a shopping method will be used at all times seeking competitive quotes above pre-set thresholds Other relevant information This box provides an opportunity to include any important information you wish to bring to the attention of the GCF Secretariat, but did not have an opportunity to provide in the sections above. To avoid any possible conflicts of interest deriving from the delivery partner s role as an accredited entity, the prioritization of investments and projects to be included in the country programme will be made through a broad consultation process with relevant stakeholders, including other potential implementing entities for Peru. The final validation of the country programme will be carried out by the country s coordination mechanism with the participation of other government agencies, as well as representatives from civil society and private sector, to ensure chosen priorities are fully aligned with national plans and strategies and adequately includes inputs from consulted stakeholders.
