2010–2013. According to the MTS 2010–2013
2 UNEP’s CCSP objective is “to
strengthen the ability of countries to integrate climate change responses into
national development processes”. UNEP is expected to support countries and
institutions to meet the challenges of climate change by promoting ecosystembased approaches to adaptation, up-scaling the use of and facilitating access to
financing for clean and renewable energy and technologies, and capitalizing on the
opportunities of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
UNEP is also working to improve awareness and understanding of climate change
science for policy decision-making. As such, the UNEP CCSP is organized around
four components: Adaptation, Mitigation, REDDþ, and Science and Outreach.
Each component has its own Expected Accomplishments (direct results expected
from UNEP’s interventions) achieved through Programme of Work Outputs (different products and services delivered by UNEP).
In UNEP, Sub-programmes cut across the divisional structure of the organization and the CCSP is the most cross-cutting of all sub-programmes in UNEP. For
instance, the Division for Technology, Industry and Economics, based in Paris, is
accountable for delivering the Mitigation component and the Division of Environmental Policy Implementation, based in Nairobi, manages the majority of projects
under the Adaptation and REDDþ components. The Division for Early Warning
and Assessments, based in Nairobi, is accountable for the delivery of certain
assessments and assessment capacity building under the Science and Outreach
component. The structural complexity and geographical spread of the CCSP
posed specific challenges for the evaluation, as described below.
The CCSP heavily relies on partnerships to drive the work. These partnerships
are important both for global efforts, such as the preparation of annual global
reports that help establish norms and track progress in achieving them, as for efforts
at the regional and country level. Partners often bring complementary technical
skills and provide access to decision making fora. Since UNEP is a non-resident
agency, it must also rely on operating through partners at the country level.
Cooperation with government and other local partners is necessary because the
country projects/pilots serve the double purpose of developing and testing concepts
and tools, but also to build country ownership and capacity to use them to promote
in-country replication. Also this posed challenges for the evaluation, in particular in
terms of attribution of Sub-programme results to UNEP.
