  1. CDKN Technical Assistance selection criteria - overview • CDKN Year 4 • April 2013

  2. Overview Technical Assistance to developing countries is demand-led, based on responses to requests for assistance. However, with more demand than we can fund, and a need to ensure that our collective interventions support our overall theory of change, we have introduced some guiding selection criteria. There is no formal scoring mechanism but the following criteria are the basis for prioritisation and decision within CDKN, subject to available funding. Level 1: Basic fit with CDKN’s niche Level 2: Fit with CDKN’s outcomes and theory of change NB: These are criteria from which we decide to whether or not to respond to a request for technical assistance or project opportunity. The project then goes out to tender, with more detailed and specific evaluation criteria reflecting the project objectives, and a core focus on value for money. Level 3: Fit with “advanced” TA criteria

  3. Level 1: Basic criteria • The opportunity must be: • For an eligible / priority country or region within Africa, Asia or Latin America and the Caribbean(CDKN works in developing countries with a particular focus on low income and lower-middle income countries. Current “deep engagement” countries include: Bangladesh, Caribbean region, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan, Peru, Rwanda, Uganda. We also work in a number of other countries and at regional and inter-regional levels) • At the interface between evidence and policy-making • At the interface between climate change and development • Demand-led and for an eligible developing country institution or decision-makers (e.g. national or sub-national governments, regional institutions, other civil society, community or private sector decision-makers or networks that are close to the policy implementation process) • Of a reasonable size and scope given our available budget and likely to be value for money

  4. Level 2: Fit with CDKN’s outcomes and theory of change • CDKN has a theory of change and 4 strategic outcomes. Opportunities must align with this as follows in some way: • CDKN’s 4 strategic outcomes: • The opportunity must contribute to one or more of these outcomes: • Developing and implementing climate compatible development strategies and plans • Improving developing countries’ access to climate finance • Strengthening resilience through climate-related disaster risk management • Supporting climate negotiators from the least developed and most vulnerable countries CDKN’s Theory of Change: The opportunity should lead to changes in one or more of these dimensions of change:

  5. Level 2: Fit with CDKN’s outcomes and theory of change #continued • The following may be useful in testing whether an opportunity fits at Level 2: • CDKN technical assistance work tends to address one or more of these intervention areas: 1. Defining the VISION and FRAMEWORK 2. Developing the underlying EVIDENCEBASE 3. DESIGNINGSTRATEGIES for climate compatible development 4. Addressing INSTITUTIONALREQUIREMENTS 5. Developing an INVESTMENT PLAN and FINANCING OPTIONS 6. IMPLEMENTING and MONITORING 7. Supporting INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT • Current core technical assistance areas include: • Building the scientific and economic evidence for climate compatible development, including low carbon energy analysis, vulnerability assessments and economic impact assessments • Developing low carbon, climate resilient development pathways, scenarios, strategies and plans • Strengthening institutional capacity, governance and decision-making processes for climate compatible development • Strengthening policy, legislative and market-based frameworks for climate compatible development • Supporting multi-sectoral stakeholder participation processes for climate compatible development policy and implementation • Accessing and leveraging climate finance, including national climate finance and risk transfer mechanisms • Piloting and scaling up innovative climate compatible development solutions, including on low carbon energy and payment by results
