GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Ms Isabelle Mamaty
Senior Expert
Climate Support Facility
An initiative of the ACP Group of States funded by the European Union
What is the GCCA ?
Two complementary pillars
2
Enhanced dialogue with developing
countries on climate change (Pillar 1)
 Convergence of visions on a post-2012
climate regime
 Regional conferences and declarations




Asia, May 2010
Africa, October 2010
Pacific, March 2011
Caribbean, March 2011
 Side events at UNFCC Cop
 National policy dialogues (see pillar 2)

Increased support
for climate change




Second pillar of the GCCA
€ 206 million (2008-2011)
€ 83 million (2012-2013)
Promote approaches to integrate climate change into
development planning and budgeting
 Focus on integration of climate change in poverty
reduction efforts, adaptation in water and agriculture,
REDD, CDM and DRR
o Mainstreaming programmes and workshops
o Implementation of NAPAs
 Budget support as preferred modality
Technical and Financial support
(Pillar 2) - What are the priorities?
1. Mainstreaming climate change into poverty
reduction and development efforts
2. Adaptation actions particularly in water and
agriculture sectors
3. Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and
Forest degradation (REDD)
4. Enhancing participation in the global carbon
market
5. Disaster Risk reduction (DRR)

Criteria of Access to
GCCA funding
 The criteria used to prioritise the countries
are the following:
o LDC and/or SIDS recipients of aid (according to the official
OECD/DAC and UN lists:
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/32/40/43540882.pdf and
http://www.un.org/special-rep/ohrlls/sid/list.htm)
o Vulnerability to climate change
o Adaptive capacity
o Political commitment
o Funds are allocated to the highest ranking countries,
based on population figures and on availability of
resources.

Sector programmes
Budget support
Mainstreaming workshops
Mainstreaming programmes
Lessons learned: aid effectiveness,
mainstreaming & budget support
 Ownership: supporting developing countries’ agendas
o National development or sector strategies
o National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs)
 Alignment: using country systems
o Promoting CC integration into national dvpt planning & budgeting
• Country programmes
• Training workshops with ministries of finance
o Budget support for climate change
 Harmonisation: improved coordination (within EU, with other partners)
o Joint financing (e.g. GCCA with IE, CY, CZ, SE, Estonia)
o Joint programming (e.g. GCCA with DK, GE, UN)
 Paving the way for scaled up climate change response
through dialogue, capacity building and actions
10
What is the Intra-ACP
Programme?
 Part of the GCCA
 Period: 2011-2014
 All activities linked to sustainable
development and achievement of
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
 6 components
o 5 geographical components:
o and 1 support component
 Overall coordination by the ACP Secretariat
11
INTRA-ACP Programme Support
to access Funds
1. Communicate on new opportunities offered by funds or other
climate change related programmes
2. Detailed briefings on the existing funds (eligibility criteria,
priorities, precise requirements, clarification on application
forms,...).
3. Country-based consultations in view of matching country priority
needs with available opportunities and development of an action
plan to get access to funding*
4. Mobilise short term TA to develop project proposals or carry out
other short term tasks that require in-country presence and
consultations.
12
Modalities of support from the
Climate Change ACP Programme
 Both the country-based consultations and the
provision of short term Technical assistance are
DEMAND-DRIVEN
 Priority will be given to LDCs and SIDS.
13
Workshop methodology
 Each module is presented as follows:
o Part 1: Presentation session
o Part 2: Turning words into action session:
discussion on the presentation, exchange of
experiences and identification of specific needs
of the country related to the subject
Where to find the information
presentation of case studies;
practical exercise
14
Workshop objectives
 Learning objectives:
o To be aware that additional external sources of finance through
climate finance could be a response to the country needs in
dealing with climate change impacts in their development process
o To provide a brief introduction of the main existing external
sources of finance of climate change
 Expected outcomes
o Increased awareness on the fact that external funds should fully
be incorporated into national planning processes and not
processed as standalone projects
o Increased knowledge of the accessing modalities and procedures
of these fund mechanisms
