Question:Successful factors for South-South Cooperation and Triangular Cooperation?

Success Factors being learnt at CTCN What we are learning works

1. Definition of specific challenge to be addressed

Request and Response Planning used to articulate:(i) General priority to be addressed(ii) Specific barrier/challenge to overcome(iii) Specific 1-4 SSC activities to be supported

2. Political and technical ownership

• NDE political championship• Applicant technical substance and grounding

3. Available relevant expertise

• Diversity of Consortium and network partners for across sectors and regions

4. Enabling financing (both to support SSC and scale up use of technologies)

• Cover cost of SSC (travel, communications)• When needed, pay specialist time• Facilitate financing for deployment and scale-up

Question:What could be a ‘helpline’ in initiating and conducting the process?

Principles being learnt at CTCN:

It requires a breadth of sectoral and regional expertise, which is not each to build and manage.

Quick and accessible are crucial.

Virtual help desk support works best when complimented with face-to-face activities.

Question: How to effectively monitor and evaluate the implementation of the SSC/TrC?

M&E lessons being learnt at the CTCN:

Close coordination and evaluation with national counterpart (NDEs, Applicants)

Design M&E together with national counterparts (co-responsibility)

Evaluation made by third party implementer selected by both CTCN and national counterpart

Question: How to sustainably upscale SSC for the development and transfer of Adaptation technologies?

Crucial ingredients being learnt at CTCN:

1. Adequate, predicable and non-tied funding

2. Technology neutrality

3. Diversity of available sectoral and regional expertise

4. Policies and procedures to ensure beneficiary ownership

5. Linkages with financing opportunities for deployment and scale-up of adaptation technology solutions

Examples of CTCN requests in adaptationMali: Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Challenge/Request:• Climate variability

reducing viability of key crops

• Distribution and drying technologies can strengthen productive viability

• But investment is required to pilot and scale up these technologies.

CTCN Response:1. Strengthen

business plan and financial case

2. Identify and introduce local producers to private investors

3. Train local producers for sales pitch to private investors

Result: Help to catalyse private sector financing for adaptation

Examples of CTCN requests in adaptationNamibia: Technologies to address water scarcity

Challenge/Request:• Water scarce country hampering

water security and development• Government willing to develop a

framework towards sustainable water management

• Uncertainties on what the best and most relevant technologies would be

CTCN Response:• Review current efforts and

best practices• Identify most appropriate

technologies• Help to identify funding and

convince investors of the value of the highest rankest ranked technology solutions

Result: Use and deploy the most appropriate technologies to increase resilience to water scarcity in the country
