Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Strategic Focus 2011 Stream I: Direct Assistance to National Projects • Robust and flexible systems and structures to ensure the IRTSC can provide immediate response to specified country needs. • Maintaining passive and proactive means of identifying country needs • Building knowledge, understanding and capacity to enhance implementation and long term actions Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Strategic Focus 2011 Stream II: Strategic and Business Enhancement • Leadership Transformation targeting leaders of society including UNDP CO • Integrated service delivery – breaking down project fatigue • Organisational effectiveness – recognising inefficiencies where they exist and being prepared to move from business as usual to overcome them • Transitioning the Cross Practice initiative for greater UNDP impact Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Assumptions • National projects now in full implementation and the momentum will continue to build • UNDP CO’s and implementing partners are now fully aware of IRTSC resources and will access them • The IRTSC will create the systems and processes to enable them to respond to country needs – quickly • UNDP CO’s and implementing partner agencies see the value adding opportunities associated with Stream II initiatives and will take advantage of them Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa December 2011 ? The Variables: • Accuracy of assumptions • Ability to manage external factors • Impact of specific country issues – elections, rebellions etc Outlook: • National projects are expected to vary in progress from 40-70% • All 20 countries will have received basic Stream I assistance • 8-10 countries will have received advanced Stream I and some stream II assistance • 4-6 countries will have received intensive stream II assistance. Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Board Considerations • Programme Extension – concern that many countries are pushing funds to community activities to increase expenditure. • Engagement of UNDP CO’s in Stream II: Critical if strategic reforms are to be met. • Transfer of remaining country funds to IRTSC – to enable the component to meet significant range of country needs Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa
