22 Key barriers to CDM project development and implementation in Africa - Stakeholders views Insufficient awareness of the CDM and opportunities in the region; Lack of material and guidance on CDM in French, Portuguese etc. Lack of technical capacity for the preparation of CDM project documentation among project developers and local consultants; Feeling of disconnection between the on-the-ground realities of project development in the region and the UNFCCC in Bonn; Perception that the CDM does not work due to the limited number of success stories, specifically in relation to issued CERs; Technical and procedural complexities of the CDM registration and issuance process; and Financing for investments and funding for CDM transactions costs more difficult to justify due to carbon market situation and low CER prices. 22
23 Role of RCCs in Africa Stakeholders views Bridge the perceived disconnection between the UNFCCC secretariat and on the ground reality in developing CDM projects; Provide dedicated bilingual support to the Francophone African countries through RCC Lomé and Lusophone countries through both RCC Lomé and RCC Kampala Provide direct support to project developers in identifying and developing potential CDM projects, PoAs and standardized baselines, and to projects/poas requesting registration and CER issuance; Serve as a hub for information on CDM opportunities in the region and link project developers, service providers carbon buyers and donor agencies; Work with the donor community to coordinate and optimize the use of available funds for CDM project development and financing of underlying projects; and Tap into existing initiatives of the UNFCCC secretariat in Bonn and those of donor agencies to establish DNAs in countries without DNAs and provide training for local consultants, project developers and the DNAs 23
24 Current outcomes and achievements Establishment of centres - 3 of the 5 planned centres have progressed to full operations Direct support to projects and programmes of activities Lomé Kampala St George s Database of existing and potential Done Done Done projects established Assessment of current status and needs Done Ongoing Commencing Target priority interventions Ongoing Commencing N/A Direct support in the development of standardized baselines Lomé Possibly 4 SBLs to be supported through to submission in 2013; Conducted preliminary analysis of 8 sectors and produced country action plans for 2013 (Ghana, Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Benin, Burundi, Madagascar and DRC) in consultation w/dnas Dialogue with stakeholders (UNEP Risoe ACAD centre, IRENA, KfW, ECOWAS WAPP (West Africa Power Pool) and local utility companies, to investigate the feasibility to establish a GEF SBL for the WAPP grid connected countries. 24
25 Current outcomes and achievements Direct support in the development of standardized baselines (cont.) Kampala Possible collaboration with German Ministry of Environment (BMU) and KfW on: (a) a proposed PoA on efficient charcoal production in Uganda, which builds on the SBL initiative in the charcoal sector of Uganda by the BMU; and (b) assessment of PoA potential and joint development of PoAs in Ethiopia in cooperation with the Ethiopian DNA. Discussion ongoing with potential donors and stakeholders on the development of an SBL for institutional cookstoves Development of a pipeline of future projects and partnerships RCC Lomé and RCC Kampala have established contacts or have ongoing discussions with leading regional institutions to identify project leads, and collaborate in supporting the CDM project pipeline for African countries. RCC Kampala is in discussion with the Uganda DNA, the NEMA (as CME), the World Bank, the Belgian Technical Cooperation and GIZ/KfW to collaborate in supporting the implementation of the Uganda municipal waste composting PoA, (UNFCCC Ref. 2956) in particular, to provide direct support and capacity building to the PoA project team in complying with the CDM requirements for monitoring and issuance of CERs. 25
