2nd Agricultural Climate Change StrategyCurrently 4 strategies, 11 strategies, 53 programmes (27of which for adaptation)
Unknown number of projects under the 53 programmes
Why is there are need to prioritise?
to help identify key strategic areas of activity
and to help allocate scarce budgetary resourcesSlide3
Current MOAC Approaches to PrioritisationFor budget decision making, MOAC priorities determined by a high level Budget Working Group which sets key policy directions (this year land consolidation and Learning Centres)
At Departmental level, Departments consider the following criteria for selecting projects for the budgetSlide4
Current budget decision criteriaThe fit with Government and ministerial policiesPolicy directions from the Office of the Permanent SecretaryThe perceived degree of urgency of a project
Government redistribution policy relating to fair distribution of projects across provinces
But the prioritisation processes are intuitive rather than systematic (e.g. not based on scoring) and therefore not always transparentSlide5
Current climate change prioritisation practicesNot a well developed methodological areaQualitative benefits approach has been piloted but found to be skill and discussion intensive and therefore time consuming
Involves assessing projects against “with” and “without” climate change and can be conceptually quite difficult and
unwieldly
for dealing with large numbers of
projects
Some simple MCA attempts but not well documentedSlide6
A First Cut Classification UNDP Climate Relevance IndexSlide7
ADB ApproachScoring methodology for assessing climate change impact, vulnerabilities and technology needs in six sectors:agriculture,
coastal resources,
human health,
transportation,
water resources, and
disaster risk management (DRM).Slide8
ADB Scoring Criteriaeffectiveness
relative costs
co-
benefits
co-costs
barriers to implementation
feasibility of implementation
scale of implementation
applicable locations and
conditions
potential
financing
and markets
Slide9
Criteria Suggestions for Scoring the CC Strategyclimate
relevance
in terms of the Climate Relevance Index
policy consistency
against NESDP, National Climate Change Master Plan,
Govt Action Plans, ADP
etc
effectiveness
, how well the programme reduces climate vulnerability or increases resilience;
socio-economic and poverty impact
, the
type of benefit, numbers
, location and typology of beneficiaries
co-
benefits
,
other development
benefits
the programme/project may provide additional to climate change benefits, such
as micro-irrigation enhancing land condition
co-costs
,
maladaptation
- the number and magnitude of the negative consequences, such as
irrigation adversely affecting
down stream water supplies or damage to ecosystems
feasibility of
implementation,
capacity to procure and execute
finance availability
relative to domestic or external funding requirements
