  4. SPCR Preparation Process • Inclusive & consultative • 06/2009 – 05/2011 • 2 joint missions • 2 technical missions • > 50 consultation meetings • > 200 comments

  5. National Consultation Meeting on Preparation of Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) for Cambodia Cambodiana Hotel, March 2011

  6. Commune-level Consultations October 2009 Consultations with Civil Society Organizations May 2011

  7. Key Features of Cambodia’s SPCR • Prioritization based on needs and capacities • Strong linkages to NAPA priorities • Synergies with disaster risk reduction efforts • High potential for leveraging MDB funds • Effective linkages to Phase 1 PPCR activities • More effective cross-sectoral coordination • Strong stakeholder engagement & empowerment • Gender mainstreaming • Civil society support mechanism • Private sector participation • Knowledge management and learning platform • Benefits to the much larger Greater Mekong Sub-region • Accelerated poverty reduction efforts • Consistency with PPCR Results Framework

  8. . SPCR Overview • Soft Interventions • (GRANT) • Adaptation frameworks • Vulnerability and adaptation Assessments • Community-based disaster risk reduction and adaptation • Ecosystem-based adaptation • Risk sharing schemes • Hard Interventions (CONCESSIONAL CREDIT) • Climate-resilient irrigation infrastructure, roads, post- harvest and sanitation facilities • Hydro-meteorological monitoring, data collection and early warning systems • Strengthened river banks & flood protectionstructures • Capacity • Strengthening (GRANT) • Cross-sectoral coordination & technical backstopping • Knowledge management platform • CSO support, NAPA Support, gender equity and private sector • Coordination with development • partners

  12. TA Rationale: Key Challenges for Enhancing Climate Resilience in Cambodia • Limited information on local impacts • Low awareness at various levels of governance • Limited institutional and technical capacities to mainstream adaptation into development planning • Weak cross-sectoral coordination • Lack of appropriate adaptation technologies • Absence of credible disaster response and forecasting mechanisms • Inadequate funding

  13. TA Objectives • To strengthen institutional capacity to coordinate SPCR and provide technical support • To conduct feasibility studies for selected NAPA projects • To provide support to community-based adaptation activities in multiple sectors • To develop and disseminate adaptation knowledge toolkits and products Outcome: Sustained institutional and technical capacity in Cambodia to integrate adaptation concerns into development

  14. Implementation Arrangements • Duration: 5 years (2013-2017) • Budget: $7million • Executing Agency: MOE • Implementing agencies: All ministries concerned with SPCR • One consulting firm, one NGO/firm and independent consultants • Government ownership and leadership

  15. Key Issues for Discussion • Effective coordination of SPCR investments • Inter and Intra-ministerial; • Multi-stakeholder involvement (civil society, gender-conscious approaches; private sector) • Sustainable civil society support mechanism • Modalities of NAPA support facility • Reliable approaches for adaptation knowledge management • Monitoring and Evaluation – PPCR Results Frameworks for adaptation
