Types of Eligible Climate Types of Eligible Climate Change ProjectsChange Projects
Enabling Activities
Short-term Response Measures
Operational Programs, which address long-term priorities of the Convention
12
Enabling ActivitiesEnabling Activities Defined as planning and endogenous capacity
building (institutional strengthening, training, research & education) to facilitate implementation of effective response measures.
Priority was on Enabling Activities for the Preparation of Initial National Communications
Expedited Procedures, top-ups and full projects Largest portfolio (number of projects), small total
allocations, dominates relations with Convention.
13
Short-Term Response MeasuresShort-Term Response Measures
-- Small portfolio; Criteria for project review: High Country Priority High likelihood of success Cost-effectiveness of better than US$ 10/TC
-- Most like CDM, PCF projects
14
Operational Programs in Operational Programs in Climate ChangeClimate Change
Removal of Barriers to Energy Efficiency & Energy Conservation (No. 5)
Promoting the Adoption of Renewable Energy by Removing Barriers and Reducing Implementation Costs (No. 6)
Reducing the long-term Costs of low GHG-emitting Energy Technologies (No. 7)

Nicha: Solar Energy Nicha: Solar Energy Development ProjectDevelopment Project
Submitted by GEFIA as a $23.73 million OP 6 project.
Project has 3 main components:1. Supply of 200,000 SPV systems;2. Technology development component to
reduce cost and improve performance; &3. Institutional support component for Capacity Building
31
Overnight AssignmentOvernight Assignment
Read Nicha project proposal. Read OP 6 (at least paragraph 6.24). Assume you are GEFSEC OP 6 Program
Manager; using Paragraph 6.24 and project review criteria, review this proposal to be able to discuss it on December 7th a.m. You should be able to defend your recommendation.
32
Requirements for OP 6 Requirements for OP 6 Proposals (par. 6.24)Proposals (par. 6.24)
Assess the full economic scope; Estimate the contribution of the project; Identify all key barriers; Estimate the extent to which barriers hamper cost-effective
implementation; Propose specific measures to remove barriers Demonstrate appropriate cost recovery and hence
sustainability Determine how programmatic benefits will be monitored
and evaluated
