Brief summary of the request

This proposal seeks to provide assistance to Nigeria to aid its development of a comprehensive Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) and action plan aimed at conducting a categorization and prioritization of technologies that will comply with the Nigerian NDC. This work will enable Nigeria to implement its climate targets (included in the country’s NDC) using the most appropriate technologies. In this context, it will be used as a basis by the country to develop and strengthen its pipeline of projects to be submitted to the GCF. The technologies prioritized and associated actions can also be used by national planners to inform ongoing planning processes, such as climate-focused and sectoral policies. Nigeria’s (draft) third National Communication document prioritises sectors with the highest mitigation potential, namely (a) agriculture and land use (b) energy (c) industry and commerce. The requested assistance will allow for the NDC implementation while also identifying, by means of the development of local content, the low-carbon technologies that will be integral to delivering on Nigeria’s ambitious mitigation plans to 2030. While the TNA technology prioritization process focuses on the benefits and costs of technologies within the national context, the technology action plan focuses on a group of measures for addressing barriers and accelerating the development and transfer of prioritized technologies. This readiness proposal will enable the development of scalable, bankable projects that target prioritised sectors and that deliver quantifiable emissions reductions. The anticipated outcome is a TNA that presents a number of strategic, long-term, participatory transformational measures across 3 identified and prioritised sectors (agriculture, energy and industry) that will drive climate resilient and low carbon growth in Nigeria. Crucial to its implementation is the achievement of high level political support, fund mobilisation and private sector engagement. The GCF assistance will enable Nigeria to meet the goals of the current climate political strategies, such as the NDC sectoral analysis plans for mitigation sectors, NAMA readiness document, National science, Technology and Innovation Roadmap, Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, as well as GCF investment criteria.

The technical direction of Nigeria’s low carbon development will be documented through this TNA and associated plans for implementation Without guidance on priority sectors and technologies, the approach may hinder the country’s approach to adaptation. This mitigation TNA report and Action Plan and an adaptation TNA report and Action Plan will provide the necessary guidance to evolve the prioritised technologies and address future country needs and community vital information to aid Nigeria’s adaptation plan and country programme. It will target the international and institutional climate finance landscape and associated opportunities for project implementation and so can act as connector between technology, policy and investor communities.

All stakeholders agreed at this project inception workshop (September 2018) that this readiness proposal would complement planned and ongoing initiatives. Activities will focus on identification of development needs already formulated in national development strategies for the country (assessing national policies, existing sectoral plans and strengths in the context of economic, social and environmental development priorities). Planned activity synergy includes Nigeria’s GCF Readiness Support request for access to finance to contribute to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledge. Such synergies and economies could be achieved through joint engagement through the stakeholder process, a sharing of resources and inputs into communication strategies, approach to regional training and round table dialogues, utilization of existing tools (such as GCF monitoring tools) and approaches to private sector engagement via proposed partnerships. A number of targeted stakeholder workshop are anticipated through this assistance that focus on training for private organisations that manage technologies.

2. BACKGROUND

Nigeria ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2004 and is currently at the final stage of submitting its third National Communication to the UNFCCC. Nigeria is yet to develop a TNA but has quantified a number of climate challenges including drought, water scarcity, desertification, low agricultural yields and emerging epidemics. National political strategies reflect a context of widespread food insecurity, drought, desertification and flood vulnerability, poor access to energy, forced migration from rural areas, negative economic impacts1 and high unemployment (with GDP per capita at $2,950 in 2014). In understanding how to best challenge these problems, Nigeria developed its NDC as a starting point for effective action on climate change (Figure 3). Nigeria’s NDC clearly indicates a number of barriers, investment requirements and the strategy to acquire environmentally sound technologies. Nigeria’s NDC offers a first step to implement climate technology action, and constitutes a great source of information useful to plan the removal of potential barriers and create the enabling environment for technology options prioritized by Nigeria.

This proposal builds upon the information communicated by stakeholders via an inception workshop (September 2018) aimed at shaping the Nigerian approach to this readiness proposal. This workshop included representatives from government, academia, private sector and community interests and enabled a sharing of information that laid the groundwork for this proposal. A significant gap identified at the TNA Inception workshop was Nigeria’s inability to apply technology in order to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Nigerian NDC was presented, while a number of barriers to implementation were introduced. The country’s plans for economic development and adaptation planning was introduced and it was agreed that this readiness proposal would complement existing planned and ongoing initiatives including Nigeria’s GCF Readiness Support request for access to finance to contribute to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledge.

While this proposal will complement the readiness proposal submitted with UNDP, the two proposals are fundamentally different in scope and proposed impact. The proposed UNDP project focused on building general capacity through a coordination mechanism within the NDA, the CTCN proposal focuses specifically on technology related capacity building and the establishment of a coordination mechanism within the NDA. This is indeed a specialized subset of the overall coordination mechanism being proposed through the UNDP proposal. Through implementation, coordination will be achieved through discussion with the Nigerian Ministries whose remit focuses on technical areas. This engagement will ensure synergies are identified and maximized and duplication avoided.

1 The Post disaster need assessment (PDNA) report following Nigeria’s 2012 flood revealed $16.9b of damage to Nigeria’s economy.


Nigeria’s country planning process is in its infancy with a major first step being the development of its NDC and committee to guide its implementation. A key component to the country programming process involves the development of a technology needs assessment and associated action plan for mitigation and adaptation technologies.

Nigeria’s NDC identifies technologies and key sectors for the fulfilment of national mitigation commitments and provides financial investors with a clear pathway for Nigeria’s development. While a set of thirteen sector specific strategies, policies, programmes and measures have been prepared, Nigeria’s (draft) third National Communication document prioritises sectors with the highest mitigation potential, namely (a) agriculture and landuse2 (b) energy (c) industry and commerce. Under this request, the focus of attention will be on these 3 sectors and work will include further selection of mitigation and adaptation technologies for the fulfilment of Nigeria’s TNA.

The methodological approach will encompass stakeholder engagement and a consultative approach that aids TNA preparation (including project inception workshops) and will reflect a country-driven, participatory approach. The approach will improve local constituents and stakeholder knowledge about project funding opportunities and enable endogenous capacities to be developed across the core Ministries involved in the process (Environment, Science and Technology, Finance, Statistics, Agriculture and Landuse). This will aid the development and submission of environmentally sound, robust and bankable project ideas resulting from the technical assistance.

Throughout the NDC process a number of enablers have been identified that are imperative for Nigeria to access climate finance for technology development. They include (a) building local capacities to enhance the ability and skills to develop coherent, robust project proposals, (b) facilitating access to funding through developing a pipeline of bankable projects eligible for funding (c) enhancing strong private sector participation in technology development and (d) engaging domestic financial institutions to optimize opportunities while creating fiduciary standards of funding entities.

Outcome 1: Institutional capacity and coordination mechanisms in place to govern and coordinate climate action and finance

Sub-Outcome Effective coordination mechanism between NDA and National Designated Entity (NDE) for the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism and other climate finance focal points

1.Communication initiated between NDA, NDE and other climate finance focal points to identify points of coordination.

2. Coordination mechanism for implementation of TNA is fully institutionalized . . 2.

Activity 1: Institutionalization of a coordination mechanism for the implementation of the TNA This first activity aims to engage key actors from relevant sectors (agriculture, energy and industry) to enable the prioritization of technology options and ensure success of the action plans that will derive from the TNA exercise. Activity 1.1. Conduct stakeholder’s analysis This stakeholder analysis will provide a valuable input into the stakeholder engagement strategy developed via the Nigerian GCF Readiness proposal entitled “GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme for Nigeria” with UNDP as delivery partner. The 3 identified sectors that are identified for prioritization are not homogeneous and not uniform. Significant effort will be required to identify various stakeholders across each of the three sectors. This stakeholder identification is especially critical and challenging for industry and energy sectors. The stakeholder input will be critical for identification of the various sub-sectors and technologies that will inform the technology fact sheets/briefs that will result in robust proposals ready for GCF support.


This also includes those directly involved in National TNA Committee running the project, including institutions from line ministries and governmental organizations, private sectors, research organizations, key stakeholders from the three sectors identified, etc. This will be an input into Activity 1.2 The activity includes identifying key stakeholders (public, private and civil society) and facilitating their participation. Civil society includes engagement of the private sector, NGOs and academia and will be facilitated through bilateral meetings between experts/ stakeholders. The input from the Nigerian NDE and NDA will be critical to shaping and informing the TNA and associated action plans from the outset but also interfacing with the CTCN and its host organisations UNIDO/UNEP. Deliverable 1.1. Reports of stakeholders’ consultation processes are made available; Work plan for stakeholders’ engagement in TNA processes developed, highlighting stakeholder’s roles; Stakeholder matrix identifying primary and secondary stakeholders to be consulted as part of the development of the TNA. The TNA activity requires a range of actors, institutions and sectors. Such a matrix will consider key national/ regional representatives from private, public and academic sectors and will target stakeholders across the 3 prioritized sectors identified by the NDC. This will be a key input into delivering activities 2.2-2.4 and 3.1. Estimated completion date: Month 2

Activity 1.2 Support establishment of a TNA Committee The TNA Committee and constitution in place will be responsible for appointing key stakeholder groups and


ensure their participation and engagement during its execution. The first activity is the establishment of the Committee. The TNA Committee will include representatives from the public, NGOs, private, and academic sectors. The roles and responsibilities of stakeholders will be defined for the TNA process, including for the review of outcomes and for providing technical input. This activity will be conducted in compliance with the TNA handbook and methodology. Special attention will focus on the participation of vulnerable populations throughout the process of TNA Committee formation. The targeting of such groups will aid the composition of the TNA Committee and special attention should target small farmer holders and associations, private sector organisations, disabled groups, gender specific groups and indigenous people. The objective is also to ensure equitable access to the benefits accruing from the TNA. This activity will include to:

- Institutionalize an effective coordination mechanism for the implementation of the TNA process. This committee will be in place in month 3 and formally meet every quarter to facilitate quarterly reporting on project progress.

- Coordinate with the activities conducted under the Nigerian CP, especially aligning to findings of Report of the capacity gaps assessment and the capacity-building action plan for the NDA

- Provide training on TNA process, including quality assurance, to all stakeholders. [The TNA Committee, while experts in their own fields, are not familiar with the process involved in development of action plans nor methodologies for prioritizing and selecting technologies based on multi-criteria analysis. The Nigerian NDA and NDE both identified a specific


requirement for the TNA Committee to receive dedicated training on these aspects. Quality assurance refers to the approach to maintain the integrity of the TNA process and action planning in line with best practice approaches] (Quarter 3-6)

- Identify the appropriate reporting and governance arrangements to enable the National Designated Entity (NDE) to report on the progress of the TNA and associated action plans and enhance communication channels with CTCN and its host organisations UNIDO/UNEP. (Every 3 months)

Training materials will include the Nigeria GCF handbook completed published & disseminated under the Nigerian GCF Readiness Support request for access to finance to contribute to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledge. This will enhance synergies between training materials. A full list of participants will be provided alongside accompanying photo/reporting documentation. Deliverable 1.2: Work plan of National Coordination Mechanism (TNA Committee and Constitution) developed. Management office in place for Institutionalized coordination mechanism, TNA Training, including quality assurance, delivered to stakeholders. Estimated completion date: Month 15. Regular reporting every 3 months from Month 3.

Outcome 2: Country Programming process

Sub-Outcome Technology solutions identified and prioritized in accordance with national strategies and plans

0: No appropriate climate technologies have been identified and prioritized. There is a lack of robust data for the selection of key technologies aimed at implementing the NDC Sectoral priorities. Knowledge on climate change sectors for prioritization is robust but the measures

2 The most appropriate climate technology solutions have been identified and prioritized in accordance with national strategies and plans, based on a comprehensive analysis of technology options to address specific climate impacts. Technology Action Plans that quantifies the potential impact of priority

Activity 2: Prioritization of technologies and relevant action for increased access to finance Activity 2.1: Pre-selection of sub-sectors for the fulfilment of Nigeria’s TNA The objective of this activity is to identify and obtain consensus about priority sectors (and subsectors) to shape the TNA. The starting point are the 3 sectors identified in the Nigerian NDC, namely agriculture, energy and industry. The first sub-activity aims at assessing the Nigerian Government’s sectoral plans and proceedings from the technology workshops conducted, where stakeholders aimed to establish sectoral priorities for the fulfilment of TNA. Such outcomes will be validated by key stakeholders in a workshop. These sectoral priorities will allow for technology identification for mitigation and adaptation and a drafting of the TNA and action plan. Activities will focus on identification of development needs already formulated in national development strategies for the country (assessing national policies, existing sectoral plans and strengths in the context of economic, social and environmental development priorities).


and technology priorities have not been explicitly detailed

technologies have been developed

The prioritization of the technologies will be consistent with the country programme and a number of variables could be considered to facilitate comparison, assessment, evaluation vis-à-vis other technology solutions. These could include:

- Supporting policy framework (regulatory, institutional, financial and information frameworks)

- Maturity of industry - Availability of natural resource - Available of skillset and competency - Infrastructure requirements - Device technology research requirements - An analysis of value chains, risks and overall

barriers to implementation - Technology impact potential in terms of

Nigeria’s GHG emissions reduction targets (conditional and unconditional)

- Employment impact - Qualitative analysis of the co-benefits

(mitigation and adaptation) in terms of both environmental and social perspectives resulting from the implementation of technologies prioritized.

While priorities have been identified in the Nigeria’s NDC, and 3 sectors have been prioritized as part of the draft 3rd Communication process, Nigeria lacks consistent technical information to support the indication of environmentally sound technologies. Such outcomes will be validated by key stakeholders in a workshop. These sectoral priorities will allow for technology identification (2.1.2) for mitigation and adaptation and a drafting of the TNA action plan (3.1) Barrier analysis could include an analysis of value chains, risks and overall barriers to implementation to aid policy development. It may consider the realms of regulatory,


institutional, financial and information frameworks that may prevent the accelerated development of markets for environmentally sound technologies. Such a process may identify regulatory barriers, a lack of information, policy uncertainty and deficiencies in the understanding of economic and institutional frameworks. Prioritization will be achieved in consultation with the Nigerian NDC Support Programme and will align with the proposed UNDP readiness project. Specifically project implementation alignment will be via UNDP’s planned multi-stakeholder consultations (with private sector, women-led organizations, CSO, ministries, sub-national level authorities, etc.) outlining the procedure with clearly defined rationale and criteria for prioritization of sectors, geographical areas and initiatives. Deliverable 2.1: Report describing methodology to sector and subsector selection, including rationale and executive summary delivered; Estimated completion date: Month 5.

.

Activity 2.2: Pre-selection of mitigation and adaptation technologies for the fulfilment of Nigeria’s TNA The aim of this activity is to validate and prioritize key technologies, aligned to Nigeria’s NDC. This will be done through a multi-criteria analysis and market assessment for technology selection that considers endogenous capabilities, natural resources, skills base, NDC focus


areas and sectoral plans through a participatory process for the fulfilment of Nigeria’s TNA. This activity will focus on identifying and obtaining consensus about priority technologies by sector to fulfil the NDC. Such outcomes will be validated by key stakeholders in a workshop. With this, priorities for the fulfilment of the NDC will be defined, and together with factsheets for each technology, will allow for the drafting of the technology action plan and will be produced to enable input into the country programme. Without guidance on priority sectors and technologies, the approach may hinder the country’s approach to adaptation. This mitigation TNA report and Technology Action Plan (TAP) and an adaptation TNA report and Action Plan will provide the necessary guidance to evolve the prioritised technologies and address future country needs and community vital information to aid Nigeria’s adaptation plan and country programme. A key outcome of the TNA process is the technology action plan (TAP). A TAP is a concise plan for the uptake and diffusion of prioritised technologies that will contribute to the country’s social, environmental and economic development and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Attention should be drawn to the fact that the participation of key stakeholders in the validation process of priority technologies must also consider the long-term development priorities. Activities should focus on a multi-criteria analysis for technology selection that considers endogenous capabilities, natural resources, skills base, NDC focus areas and sectoral plans through a participatory process for the fulfilment of Nigeria’s TNA Deliverable 2.2

Activity 2.3: Technology Action Plan(s) The process for the development of this Technology Action Plan will involve a number of interviews and consultations with key stakeholders across the public, private and academic setting and will target various experts depending on the (sub) sectors and technology prioritized. The Action Plan should: - elaborate very detailed project ideas, including

comprehensive time frames and a breakdown of the estimated budget for the project idea.

- articulate project idea objectives, outputs, relation to national development priorities, deliverables, activities, timeline, budget and evaluation methods.

- consider elements such as research on the prioritized technology, capacity-building, financial schemes, pilot projects and technology demonstration.

- include an analysis of value chains, risks and overall barriers to implementation to aid policy development.

- consider the realms of regulatory, institutional, financial and information frameworks that may prevent the accelerated development of markets for environmentally sound technologies. Such barrier identification includes regulatory barriers, a lack of information, policy


uncertainty and deficiencies in the understanding of economic and institutional frameworks.

- determine technology impact potential in terms of Nigeria’s GHG emissions reduction targets (conditional and unconditional), employment impact, and qualitative analysis of the co-benefits (mitigation and adaptation) in terms of both environmental and social perspectives resulting from the implementation of technologies prioritized.

Each TAP will be financially robust to enable funding to be secured and will identify measures for overcoming barriers and identify the responsible authority for implementation. The deliverable will: - Recommend enabling frameworks to address identified

barriers, including conducting an analysis of the economic and social barriers that hinder the transfer and uptake of prioritized technologies.

- Assess the policy, institutional and financial options and technology risks to overcome these barriers and present project ideas and multiple actions that are categorized based on quantity of their identifications.

- Prioritize a number of subsectors, (such as renewable energy production, biofuels, energy efficiency, water collection and harvesting, drip irrigation and the efficient production and improvement of crop varieties).

- Present a clear financial plan with timelines, benchmarks and indicators that will elaborate measures to overcome these barriers and so aid policy makers, market actors and technology innovators. Financial assessments could include costs benefit analysis, return on investment, internal rate of return, net present value of a particular technology action /idea versus an alternate.

- Target the high initial costs for technology deployment, transaction costs and the lack of an

appropriate policy environment to enable such deployment.

- Provide cost indications and assessments (financial incentives for implementation of an action), including potential domestic and international funding sources to deliver such actions, institutional/policy strengthening costs, market assessments and RD&D studies.

- Develop legal and regulatory instruments co create a sound enabling environment for identified technologies.

Deliverable 2.3. Report and executive summary of each Technology Action Plan for each of the priority technologies in compliance with the TNA, including project supports and project ideas as concrete actions for implementation. Estimated completion date: Month 14.

Activity 2.4: Validation of Technology Action Plan (TAP) with stakeholders This activity aims to discuss and validate the technology action plan by the TNA key stakeholders. It will facilitate collaboration and sharing of experience, lessons learnt and best practices, including external engagement with other sub-saharan country NDEs and NDAs and private sector entities. This is aimed at assisting stakeholders with the familiarization of identified technologies, such as awareness campaigns and training to enhance technical capacity, operation and maintenance, and data collection. Common methods utilized for that process included: interviews with experts and stakeholders; market mapping and problem trees; dedicated workshops; desk studies; and logical problem analyses.

Activity 2.5: Support the implementation of the Technology Action Plan with communications, guidance and training Delivery of a capacity building package for TNA key stakeholders including training and support materials for the development and application of prioritized technologies. Relevant participants will include the NDA, NDE, GCF and GEF focal points. A key input into the development of this training is the national- level training on GCF standards and processes, M&E, and decision-making delivered through the Nigerian GCF Readiness Support request for access to finance to contribute to the NDC pledge. The stakeholder matrix and training workshops identified within this proposal will provide a key input into the Communication strategy of the Nigerian GCF Readiness Support request for access to


finance to contribute to the NDC pledge aimed at raising awareness and facilitating stakeholder engagement in the GCF processes Stakeholders will be provided with 6 regional training seminars on modules including (a) market mapping and problem trees to enable them to become more familiar with identified technologies (b) gender awareness tools to enhance implementation capacities (c) access to financing of prioritized technologies across domestic and international sources (aligned to Nigerian Readiness Request NDC Proposal aimed at delivering a GCF monitoring tool) (d) technical capacity, operation, maintenance and data collection and (e) energy data assessment and modelling. The project implementers will consider enhancing the synergy and efficiencies between these regional training workshops and the Sub-national level stakeholders, (including private sector entities) round table dialogues in the Readiness Request NDC Project proposal. This activity aims to develop tools that will enhance existing data assessment and modelling of the Nigerian GHG inventory system. This potentially will build on existing modelling techniques, such as the Long range energy alternatives planning system (LEAP) currently utilized by the Nigerian Government to track energy consumption and production It will also consider modelling techniques associated with agriculture and land use change. This will assist in data inventories, measure identification and energy projections, financial assessments of technology project ideas and marginal abatement cost curves. The project will also utilize the Climate finance monitoring tool developed as part of the Nigerian GCF Readiness Support request for access to finance to contribute to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledge.

The CTCN process for managing technical assistance is the following: Requests for technical assistance can be prepared by any applicant organization from a developing country, but all requests must be submitted by the CTCN NDE (national focal point in the concerned country). Once submitted, all requests submitted by developing countries are assessed as per eligibility, balancing and prioritization criteria approved by the CTCN Advisory Board. The three eligibility criteria are the following: 1) The support provided will contribute to increased resilience and/or mitigate emissions, and is aligned with national plans; 2) The support will enhance endogenous capacities; and; 3) Processes are in place in the requesting country to monitor and evaluate any support provided (that is, project accountability is ensured). Balancing criteria are looking at inter and intra-regional an geographical balance (with a preference for requests submitted by LDCs and other highly vulnerable and low capacity countries; balance between adaptation and mitigation objectives, and balance between various types of support spanning the technology cycle. Prioritization criteria consider a number of elements that demonstrate project strengthen and potential for success, including the promotion of endogenous capacities and appropriate technologies, potential for scale up, for South-South cooperation, for leveraging public and private financing, for creating social, economic and social benefits, promoting gender equality etc. Once a request is deemed eligible and prioritised, the CTCN selects the best expertise among its consortium partners to develop a response plan. The criteria for selection are: Relevant technical expertise, Experience and network in national context, Relevant language capacity, Response Planning track record, Representative use of the consortium partners in Response Planning and Feedback/ preference from the NDE. Based on the discussion with the NDE, NDA and request proponent and feedback from the CTCN, the consortium partner develops the response plan. Once an advanced version is prepared, it is presented to CTCN’s director NDE and NDA for signature. Once the response plan is signed, the contracting of the implementer starts.

6.2 Risks, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and other relevant information

Below can be found potential risks that might prevent the project objectives from being achieved and the proposed measures that address these risks at the time of project implementation:

Risk

Rating

Mitigation Engagement risk: Lack of engagement from key stakeholders

Low Dissemination strategy and an organizational targeting to enhance primary stakeholders attend TNA related events

Delay risk: Delay in implementation of readiness programme

Low Project management procedures in place. UNIDO actively engaged.

Recruitment risk: Delays due to inability to procure consultants

Medium Highlight need to expedite the process. Dissemination of procurement process through CTCN network and channels

Involvement risk: Lack of interest by the public and private sector key stakeholders, resulting in limited interest of local players to scale up the results of this intervention

Low During project implementation a thorough consultative and participatory approach will be applied; key private sector and industry stakeholders have been identified and targeted in consultation with the NDA/ NDE of Nigeria. UNIDO will manage the risk alongside the implementing partners.

Technical/Capacity risks: Lack of capacity by the national counterparts to use or implement the results and conclusions of this technical assistance.

Low The project is in line with national policies and the project will be executed in close coordination with the respective Ministry and authorities; A number of regional workshops and policy briefs will be delivered to enhance capabilities.

Management Risk: Lack of effective coordination between various project partners

Low A proper coordination will be sought through the CTCN.


Ownership of the results: True ownership by the government and system operator to ensure results are used and up scaled accordingly

Medium The ownership of the project has been secured by the Government of Nigeria given that it falls under their Work Plan.

Adverse project Risks Money laundering, terrorist financing or prohibited practices

Medium Nigeria has made some progress in building their government (2019 elections). Strengthening governance, tackling corruption and economic reforms remain critical to the country’s and region’s long-term stability. .The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recorded notable strides in its fight against corruption across Nigeria, with a number of arrests due to misappropriation of the states funds. International actors, notably the United States, France and the United Kingdom, continue to support the Nigerian government’s effort to tackle security challenges and provide humanitarian aid to vulnerable communities. During a joint visit to Nigeria in July, the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism and the Counter Terrorism Executive Directorate pledged continued technical assistance, including support for criminal justice processes that comply with human rights and rule of law, to help Nigeria to counterterrorism. In September, Germany, Nigeria, Norway and the United Nations co-hosted a high-level conference on the Lake Chad Region in Berlin that raised over $2 billion in support, and $467 million in concessional loans for humanitarian, peacebuilding, and development activities in Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria. The European Union also announced the release of €138 million ($157 million) to assist vulnerable communities in the region affected by prolonged violence, insecurity, and environmental degradation This project can be effectively implemented within the current environment while the level of security remains high. Maintain continuous coordination with Consultants (alongside NDA/NDE). Ensure consultants have conducted all required UN SAFE training and accreditation. UNIDO will liaise with the NDA/NDE and Government of Nigeria to reduce the impact of such risks.

Climate Change Risk: Negative impacts of climate change and extreme weather events

Low The potential impact of extreme weather events in Nigeria will be considered through the engagement process.


Access to data: Data accessibility, mainly from the Utility and other involved stakeholders

Medium Communication channels and information sharing has been secured and their ownership clarified. Same for the other stakeholders. UNIDO will manage the risk alongside the implementing partners.

Gender Risk: Resistance against or lack of interest in, the project activities from stakeholders, especially with regard to the active promotion of gender equality. Low participation rates of suitable female candidates due to lack of interest, inadequate project activity or missing qualified female population within the i.e. engineering sector.

Low This Project will pursue thorough and gender responsive integration and ensure stakeholder involvement at all levels, with special regard to involving women and men.It will feed into the National Gender Climate Change strategy proposal as per the Nigerian GCF Readiness Support request for access to finance to contribute to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledge.

Monitoring & Evaluation

Upon contracting of the implementing partners to implement this Response Plan, the lead implementer will produce a monitoring and evaluation plan for the technical assistance. The monitoring and evaluation plan must include specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound indicators that will be used to monitor and evaluate the timeliness and appropriateness of the implementation. The CTCN Technology Manager responsible for the technical assistance will monitor the timeliness and appropriateness of the Response Plan implementation. Upon completion of all activities and outputs, evaluation forms will be completed by the (i) NDE about overall satisfaction level with the technical assistance service provided; (ii) the Lead Implementer about the knowledge and learning gained through delivery of technical assistance; and (iii) the CTCN Director about timeliness and appropriateness of the delivery of the activities and outputs.


7. ANNEX 1: PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

On the basis of the consultations with officials within the Government of Nigeria the following sectors have been selected: Agriculture, Energy and Industry.

Agriculture is the mainstay of the Nigerian economy and is critical for the achievement of the overall development objectives of the country. The objective of a technology needs assessment and action planning exercise is to target the transfer and diffusion of technology for mitigation and adaptation. It prioritizes agriculture as a means to reduce food insecurity and improve nutrition security. Climate change induced dry spells and erratic rainfall patterns are affecting crop production in Nigeria. Most farmers are dependent on rainfall for crop production and are therefore vulnerable to reduced rainfall and accompanying moisture stress on crops. The development of a TNA and the associated prioritization of sectors and technologies that result will help farmers in Nigeria to adapt to changing climate and substantially improve food production. Central to the development of this proposal was identification of actions that best meet the environmental, energy-efficient and resource-saving requirements of Nigeria. Consideration was placed on increasing productivity and strengthening the adaptive capacities of people that are heavily dependent on agriculture. In terms of the energy sector, the proposal identifies significant potential that currently exists in the Nigerian energy sector to deploy technologies including energy efficient buildings, combined heat and power using biomass fuel, and solar PV. A number of potential impacts have been identified below. Proposed Measures and Metric (Examples) are cited in Annex O. These result from a number of identified measures that act as a framework that will enable the desired impact to be achieved.

Sector Potential Impact Agriculture Reduction of GHG emissions from agriculture resulting from increased use of microdrip

irrigation, crop diversification, enhanced soil management practices and reduced use of charcoal. Skills capacity of farmers enhanced through capacity development from increased use of mechanized planters and enhanced crop production techniques. Enhanced viability of technologies resulting from increased deployment of wattle and bamboo, backyard vegetable planters and mini dams.

Energy Reduction of GHG emissions and efficiency deployment from building retrofit initiatives/ codes. Sustainable energy sources expanded and decentralized transmission in order to reduce vulnerability of energy infrastructure to climate impacts. Improving Energy Efficiency and diversifying sources of energy to facilitate access to clean energy towards NDC goal achievement Decarbonisation of energy supply through increased non grid connected renewable energy, PPPs for CHP and from deployment of LEDs/ low emission lighting. Enhanced air quality resulting from increased use of clean cookstoves. Decreased flaring. More information data bases on relevant technologies to forecast contribution to conditional and unconditional targets and increase UN reporting reliability. Increased networking and exchange of best energy efficiency practice by the largest industrial energy users and benchmark results. Mechanisms deployed to stimulate research, development and information dissemination on solar PV, building materials, energy efficient equipment, energy conservation and efficiency.

Industry Circular economy/ GDP benefits from enhanced local production of technology components and training and accreditation of technology installers, building technicians and power engineers.


Increased local building material manufacture and standards across all technical installations, providing more low carbon solutions to economy. SMEs and entrepreneurs strengthened through targeted scheme providing assessments of energy use and advice on energy management. .Demonstrate the significant potential available through ICT efficiencies, working closely with the industry, utilizing technological solutions such as virtualization, co-location, efficient IT hardware, optimized cooling technologies, and energy management controls


8. ANNEX 2: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

This proposal supported by CTCN seeks to develop a comprehensive ‘Technology Needs Assessment and associated action plan of climate change mitigation and adaptation needs identified in Nigeria’s most vulnerable economic sectors. This is to be achieved through the following three outcomes:

• Outcome 1. Institutional capacity and coordination mechanisms in place to govern and coordinate climate action and finance

• Outcome 2: Country Programming process • Outcome 3: Climate finance strategies and project pipeline strengthened

This assistance will promote utilization of a wealth of science and technology, energy and environmental policies and gather key data for the prioritized technologies and sectors. The anticipated outcomes from the assistance will be tailored to the conditions in Nigeria and will ultimately support the goals of the current climatic political strategies, such as Nigeria Climate Change Policy Response and Strategy’ (2012), National Science, Technology and Innovation Roadmap 2030 (2017), Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (2017) and the Nigerian NDC

The anticipated outcome is a TNA that presents a number of strategic, long-term, participatory transformational measures across 3 identified and prioritised sectors that will drive climate resilient and low carbon growth in Nigeria. Crucial to its implementation is the achievement of high level political support, fund mobilisation and private sector engagement.
