  1. GEF Programmatic Approach: The Coral Triangle Initiative Presentation by: David S. McCauley, ADB GEF Facilitator Sub-regional Workshop for GEF Focal Points in Asia 15-16 May 2008

  2. Outline of Presentation • Overview of GEF Programmatic Approach • Examples of GEF’s Use of the Approach • The Coral Triangle • Coral Triangle Initiative • SE Asia ADB/GEF CTI Subproject • Pacific ADB/GEF CTI Subproject • CTI Programming

  3. The GEF Programmatic Approach • Main Rules • Council reviews/approves “Program Framework Document” (PFD) covering objectives and scope • Funding time frame must be given, and cannot exceed replenishment period, though vision may extend beyond • A resource envelope for the program is approved, but financial commitment still through individual PIFs • Any or all PIFs under the program may be simultaneously presented and approved with the PFD • PIFs not submitted with PFD must be approved by Council within 1 year thereafter • MSPs can be brought to CEO only after PFD is approved • Types of Programs • National – Single and Multi-Focal Area • Regional/Global – Single and Multi-focal Area

  4. GEF Use of the Programmatic Approach (through November 2007) • Climate Change • National Communications Program for Climate Change (UNDP) • Global “Ban the Bulb” Program (GEFSec/UNDP) • Land Degradation • PRC-GEF Partnership on Land Degradation in Dryland Ecosystems (ADB) • Burkina Faso Parthership Porgram for Sustainable Land Management (UNDP) • Cuban National Program to Combat Desertification and Drought (UNDP) • Central Asian Countries Initiative for Land Management (ADB) • Strategic Investment Program for Sustainable Land Management in SS Africa (WB) • LDC/SIDS Target Portfolio for Capacity Development and Mainstreaming of SLM (UNDP) • International Waters • Strategic Partnership for a Sustainable Fisheries Investment Fund in the LMEs of SS Africa (WB) • WB-GEF Investment Fund for Pollution Reduction in LMEs of East Asia (WB) • WB-GEF Investment Fund for the Mediterranean Sea LME (WB) • Strategic Partnership Investment Fund for Nutrient Reduction in the Danube River and Black Sea (WB) • Persistent Organic Pollutants • Development of National Implementation Plans for the Stockholm Convention (UNEP) • African Stockpiles Program (WB) • Multi-Focal Areas • Namibia Country Pilot Partnership for Integrated Land Management (UNDP) • China Biodiversity Partnership and Framework for Action (UNDP) • India Sustainable Land and Ecosystem Management Partnership Program (WB) • Sustainable Forest Management (FAO/All)

  5. A GEF Programmatic Approach Case Study

  6. ADB/GEF Subprojects Already Identified ADB/GEF Southeast Asian Subproject ADB/GEFPacific Subproject

  7. The Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) and the GEF Pacific Alliance for Sustainability (PAS): Geographic Program Areas CTI GEF-PAS ADB/GEF CTI-Pacific

  8. Coral Triangle Initiative: GEF Program • Activities Defined in PIFs for Council • Coordination/support (ADB): CTI in IW:Learn • Fisheries (UNDP/FAO): SCS, ATSEA, WPEAOF • Integrated efforts (ADB): Southeast Asia; Pacific (PAS) • Activities Described in Short Concept Papers • Ridge to reef management in Philippines (ADB) • Community protected areas management (WB/ADB) • ACT – CTI Climate change adaptation (ADB/UNDP) • Bycatch management (FAO)

  9. GEF CTI Rational and Elements:Coastal & Marine Resources Mgt. • Rationale • Socio-economics: Fisheries, tourism, livelihoods, culture • Degradation: Obvious and accellerating loss of resources • Approach: Needs long-term/systematic effort, high resources • Regional: Some issues need cooperation to address • Global: Many benefits – opportunity to tap external financing • Key Elements • Countries (6): Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Malaysia, Solomons, Timor Leste + Pacific sphere of influence • Content: Economic base (fisheries, tourism, food security), seascapes management, including protected areas • Partners: ADB & GEF (2), US & Australia (2), CI, TNC, WWF (3) • ADB, GEF & CTI: Development & environmental partner, financing facilitator & lead GEF agency

  10. CTI Development and the GEF Programming Cycle • Dec 2007: SOM-1 – CTI agenda & commitments • Jan-Feb 2008: Program and project concepts developed • March 2008: Concepts approved by GEF Secretariat • April 2008: Program & PIFs presented to GEF Council • May 2008-April 2009: Subprojects preparation • June 2008: SOM-2 – CTI Action Plan • March 2009: Subprojects for GEF CEO endorsement • May 2009: Subprojects endorsed by GEF CEO (CTI Summit) • June 2009-April 2013: Program/subproject implementation • July 2010-Dec 2010: GEF-5 CTI design • November 2011: Target date for start of GEF-5 CTI

  11. Coral Triangle Initiative:ADB/GEF Pacific Subproject Elements • Marine Protected/Managed Areas: Policies and institutions, sustainable financing, review of formal and informal marine protected areas networks, pilot activities to demonstrate best practices or fill gaps in existing management systems • Ridge to Reef Management to Protect Coastal and Marine Ecosystems:Assessment and action to identify and respond to threats from land-based pollution and other causes of stress for coastal and marine resources • Climate Change Adaptation:Increasing the resilience of risheries, coastal and marine resource systems and marine protected areas • Project Management:Coordination, Harmonization and Project Management

  12. Example - Pacific Countries: GEF-PAS andADB/GEF Coral Triangle Initiative Subproject • Project vehicle: ADB/GEF CTI in the Pacific RETA • Countries: Fiji Islands, PNG, Solomon Islands, Timor • Leste, Vanuatu (Palau and FSM for info exchange) • Financial resources, 2008-2012: • GEF Total = $7.28m ($3.64 BD+$2.73 IW+$0.91 CC/SPA) • ADB = $1.55m under Pacific CTI RETA • USG = $20m (in parallel through NGOs) • Australia = Expected $9m (in parallel) • NGOs = At least $6m (WWF, TNC, CI) • Participating Governments = still TBD • Total = about $45 million over 5 years

  13. CTI Program Planning Schedule • Senior Officials Meetings • 1. Bali 12/07 • 2. Manila 6/08 • 3. PNG 3/09? • Ministerial/Summit • Ministers 11/08 • Manado WOC 5/09
