  1. Practices and Lessons Learned inConducting TNA:Thailand Vute Wangwacharakul (vute.w@ku.ac.th) Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics Faculty of Economics, Kasetsart University

  2. Outline of Presentation • Thailand’s TNA Activities • The TNA Process • The Outputs/Outcomes • Lessons Learned and Future

  3. Thailand’s TNA Activities • When did Thailand do TNA? • Depends on what do we mean by TNA (TNA in general, TNA under Climate Change, TNA under Art. 4.5, TNA under NC, TNA under other relevant activities etc.) • TNA under Climate Change (UNFCCC) • Practically donesince conducting Climate Change Research (1980s) • In 2001, under Enabling Activities II • In 2007 under the Second National Communication • In 200X under NCSA

  4. How did Thailand do TNA? • Automatic • It was part of the research process (e.g. implications from research works such as NC preparation, EAII, National CDM strategy, SIDA projects, AIAAC project) • It was output/outcome of planning process ( e.g. Climate Change R&D plan, Education and public awareness plan) • Scope given by the UNFCCC/GEF • EAII • NCSA

  5. TNA activities in Thailand • Knowledge about the needs accumulated from R&D on CC among climate change researchers, experts, NFP etc. • USCSP, AIAAC etc. • UNEP, ADB, UNDP, SIDA, World Bank/AUSAID, etc. • National Communication Preparation • Enabling Activities II(conducting TNA process)

  6. The TNA Process under EAII project • Identifying key areas • Technology • Capacity building • Categorizing types • Research vs Action • Mitigation vs Adaptation • Identifying sectors e.g. agriculture, energy, water resources • Analyzing technical options • Prioritizing the options • Detailed review of key areas i.e. technology, know-how, capacity building

  7. THE PRACTICE • Summary of “technology transfer and capacity building needs” • Preliminary identification of technology needs • Brainstorming process (mainly experts) • Revisiting “technology needs identification” • Opened workshop • CDM Strategy project • Further in-depth specific “know-how” need assessment

  8. The Outputs/Outcomes • Obtained technology needs and priorities • Integrated into national development priorities • Another accumulation of technology needs for future use

  9. Lessons Learned • TNA is an evolution process. • TNA needs involvement of specialists and stakeholders • TNA is not an end-product, but part of the process to meet certain objectives • Without a complete process, TNA is just thunder without storm…. Hence We should look for TTA not just TNA

  10. Thank you for your attention

  11. TNA in general • Demand-driven or supply-driven oriented • Public sector tends to be supply-driven; private sector more demand-driven or market-driven • Thailand experienced both and sometimes faced difficulty in matching D&S • We are now exploring NSDB approach in identifying technology development and streamlining D&S
