  6. Climate Public Expenditure • About 2 % of GDP and 8% of Government Expenditure is on climate activities . The trend is increasing. • Around 80% of climate change expenditure relates to adaptation activities. • Around 60% of the expenditure is executed directly by Central Agencies and 40% through Local Agencies (Unconditional Capital grants ).

  7. Strengths /Opportunities • Mainstreaming climate change into national and local development planning and budgeting process • Local initiatives and some discretion on revenue and expenditure • Compliance of National guidelines and directives in local development planning and budgeting by local bodies • Strong social mobilization • Capacity development of stakeholders

  8.  Challenges • Offering to Covering (people, place and purpose) • Sensitize to Satisfy (time, resource, efforts) • Exclusive to Inclusive (country partner, development partner)

  9.  Way Forward • Undertake Climate Change Public Expenditure Institutional Review (CPEIR) regularly to track climate change expenditure • Follow orientation -consultation –consensus approach on climate change issues among stakeholders to strengthen climate change resilience • Integrate climate change component in Minimum Conditions Performance Measure (MCPM) system and provide incentive accordingly
