Brief summary of the request

Over the last decade, Mali has made significant progress in planning climate-resilient and low-carbon development. As one of the countries the most vulnerable, considerable efforts have been put by the government in developing a number of climate-focused plans, strategic documents and frameworks, as well as institutional settings, aiming at guiding its path towards sustainable development in an age of climate change. However, as of today, most of these plans fall short in supporting the country’s ability to manage current global challenges that are sustainable development and climate change. The main challenge for the Government of Mali– as well as – private sector operators,




resides in the effective integration of climatic risk considerations in development, financial and economic planning. Considering how intertwined climate change and development are in a vulnerable country such as Mali, development and economic planning would gain at further considering and integrating climate risks. As of today, this effective integration in the macroeconomic and sectoral decision-making tools is limited for several reasons such as the lack of access to the adequate scientific and economic tools, the limited interactions between public and private experts on climate change and economics and also the little domestic capacity in this new area of economic science. As a consequence of this limited integration in development planning tools used by the Ministries of Finance and Economics, Mali shows slow progress in implementing adequate resilient and low-carbon investments in all the sectors of the economy, in a consistent and sustainable manner. This integration often results from support from international consultants, without a commonly agreed methodology at the national level. Even though this integration of climate risks in the country’s planning tools would be of great support, the quantitative integration of climate risks is particularly tedious and national experts need to be trained. In addition to increasing decision-makers’ ability to integrate risks in sectoral and macroeconomic planning, the improved knowledge of the impacts of climate change on economic development also contribute to raise awareness on its current impact on the economy. In other countries where a similar approach was implemented (Ghana, Senegal, Malawi and Cameroon), this led to an increased awareness from the lowest to the highest level of the Government. With a very targeted and focused approach, this readiness proposal aims at supporting Mali’s efforts to integrate climate risks in its development planning tools, as well as tools used by the private financial sector especially. This integration will be carried out by building the capacity of its key national experts from Universities Ministries and the private sector and by providing access to state-of-the-art economic modelling tools and climate data. The national experts will be trained at implementing and communicating the results from the ee110 and ee210 models used by several United Nations Agencies (e.g. UNEP and UNECA), development banks (World Bank and African Development Bank) and published in the peer-reviewed top development economics journal World Development in 2019. The readiness will be focused on achieving the following objectives:

i. Capacity building of key national experts from Universities, think tanks and Ministries as well as the private sector at the quantitative integration of climate risks in development planning tools (macroeconomic modelling, debt sustainability, etc.);

ii. Providing access to latest and state-of-the-art modelling tools and data; iii. Effective and permanent integration of climate risks in the country’s

development planning tools.


Total requested amount and currency

USD209,912.00 Anticipated duration 18 months

Has the country received or is expecting to receive other Readiness and Preparatory Support funding allocations (including adaptation planning) from GCF or other donors?

☐ Yes ☐ No

To date, Mali has received four readiness grants from the GCF to strengthen the NDA capacity, design non-objection procedures, develop country program and nominate and support accredited entity:

- AEDD (NDA), June 2019 – NDA Strengthening and Country Programming: Accelerating Mali’s readiness to access climate finance (USD 594,749)

- AEDD (NDA), January 2019 – Entity Support: Preparing Mali-Folkecenter Nyetaa’s (MFC) application for direct access accreditation to the GCF (USD 183,000)

- AEDD (NDA), May 2015 –NDA strengthening and Country Programming (USD252,000)

- AEDD (NDA), Strategic Frameworks and Country Programming (USD 48,417)

Although these efforts have been instrumental setting the foundational basis for the country to identify priority for actions, more is needed from a country like Mali to effectively engage a sustainable transition towards low emissions and resilient development. Such a transition will also be dependent on the effective integration of climate risks in development programs implemented by the public and private sector as well as additional support to unlock potential for capacity building, technology and finance at scale. The current readiness proposal is designed with this intent. It complements ongoing efforts by taking a holistic approach to support a systemic change in capacity building, and alignment of climate and development policies and investments framework with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development goals.

2. BACKGROUND

This readiness proposal is developed as a targeted and focused program to sustainably strengthen the ability of the Government and private sector actors to integrate climate risks in development, economic and financial planning in a quantitative manner. The long-term sustainability of this readiness builds on three key pillars: (1) people, (2) technology and (3) data. Therefore, this program will be implemented by: (1) Building the capacity of the Ministry of Finance and Economy, as well as experts from the Ministry of

Environment in charge of climate change, as well as universities and private sector (national and rural banks, insurance) experts. The experts to be trained will be jointly selected by the Ministry of Finance and Economy and the NDA, so will the specific sector be;

(2) Transferring the capacity to use state-of-the-art economic and climate modelling tools that can be implemented by national experts thanks to the trainings they received; (3) Providing a constant access to automatically updated relevant climate and socioeconomic data necessary to the use of the above-mentioned modelling tools.


This readiness also builds on the past proposals that Mali benefited from. Through readiness 4 on accelerating Mali’s readiness to access climate finance (MLI-RS-004), staffs from the NDA (NDA secretariat in AEDD, NDA technical experts, sectorial experts from Ministries of Agriculture and Forestry) were trained on concepts note and PPF development, Environmental and Social Impact Study and Gender study in agriculture, forestry and energy sectors, as well as in the operation of the Climate Actions MRV. Hence, the NDA and the other actors’ capacities are now improved, and they are familiar with GCF’s procedures and modalities on concept note development, ESS, and gender. The same staffs are thus mobilized to provide their views on funding proposals as part of the no-objection procedure.

With this readiness, the Government of Mali wants to build the capacity of the Ministry of Finance and Economy, the Ministry of Environment (through the NDA), as well as universities in: i) analyzing climate data, and using state-of-the-art tools to assess climate change impacts in priority sectors as identified in the CP on the one hand, and ii) mainstreaming climate risks in decision making process and in national development plan on the other hand. The main beneficiaries of this readiness are: i) public entities including the Ministry of Finance and Economy, the National Directorate of Planning and Development, the Agricultural economic program of the Polytechnic Rural Institute as well as the NDA; ii) the economic programs of the universities of Ségou and Bamako, and iii) private sector operators. Ideally, each institution will be invited to designate 5 staff with an economic and modeling profile, who will be able to benefit from the trainings proposed. Regarding the NDA, it should be clarified that some members of the core team from the NDA who benefited from capacity building activities with the previous grants, will also benefit from these focused trainings (two staff with an economic profile). At the Ministry of Finance and Economy, the training will target at least 5 agents of the National Directorate of Planning and Development and 5 agents of the Technical Coordination Unit of the Strategic Framework for Poverty Reduction (TC-PRSP). These two units are in charge of the country economics prediction (GDP, Inflation, etc.) and development plan such as the Economics and Sustainable Development Recovery Framework. The readiness will support these units in mainstreaming the climate and GHG emissions reduction into their plans and assessing impacts and building economic evidence for climate policies. This is fundamental for the country programming as it will help to identify the best programs with high economic and climate impacts. The Agricultural economics program of the Polytechnic Rural Institute and economics programs of the universities of Segou and Bamako will also benefit from the readiness support. This will be done in the format of a training of trainers. Such format will insure the durability beyond the readiness program. With the research institutes such as Rural Economic Institute and National Statistical Institute, the training will trigger more research in climate change theme as they develop capacities in analyzing climate data and theirs links with different sectors. The output of these researches will support the NDA to have stronger concept notes and a country program building on sound-evidence information that this readiness will help to generate. In relation to private sector, the objective of this readiness is to raise the awareness of private sector operators for them to better integrate climate risks in their activities, hence ensuring that new funding proposals to be submitted to GCF PSF are designed to accelerate the resilient and low-carbon transformation of the private sector. It should be clarified that the Government of Mali has already undertaken some steps to facilitate climate-smart and resilient investment by the private sector, through the design of specific laws and regulatory elements. Indeed, there a law was passed for tax free and lower taxes for importation of some renewable energy equipment. Also, the government is working with local banks to put in place a credit line to accelerate solar rooftop panels development. The proposal has been designed to address barriers and challenges that the country has been facing in relation to using state-of-the-art tools for climate change impact assessment, and integration of climate risks in development planning. As the main department in charge of country development planning, the Ministry of Finance and Economy (and specifically its economic modeling division) lacks adequate tools for climate change impact assessment and integration of climate risks in development planning. Some macro-economic models, such as computable general equilibrium models and system dynamics models (such T21) are currently being used for the country development planning, including for the elaboration of the economic and sustainable development recovery framework (2018-2023). However, these macro-economic tools do not mainstream climate variability and change into the modeling process, nor do they integrate the simulations of the climate projections or of GHG emission reductions on the economy. These simulations are important while setting the trajectories of the development plan and NDC’s GHG reduction target. This new proposal will allow the beneficiaries to access key economic and development planning resources that integrate climate variability and change, and therefore provide strong evidence-based content to the upcoming funding proposals. This will be implemented following a country-driven approach, taking full account of national circumstances and strategic priorities of the revised GCF readiness strategy for 2019-2021. It will build on opportunities derived from key climate change initiatives launched by African leaders, such as the Africa Adaptation Initiative’s (AAI) and the Adaptation of African Agriculture (AAA) initiative which are both relevant to


climate change adaptation and resilience. The proposal encompasses the necessary groundwork, including the transfer and adaptation to the country context of state-of-the-art tools and methods to formulate a high impact low-emission and climate-resilient development with the level of ambition necessary to advance countries’ climate change priorities and GCF investment criteria. In short, this proposal aims at facilitating the integration of climate risks in short- to long-term sectorial and macroeconomic planning – with the ultimate objective to accelerate the resilience to climate risks of Mali’s development strategies, programs and projects on the ground. It is proposed for a year and a half, at the end of which, significant progress is expected, so that the trained national experts, and particularly those from the Government, are able to integrate climate risks in development investments and unlock new and at-scale investments in support of the paradigm shift towards low-emission and climate-resilient development. The grant provided by the GCF will finance activities that intend to address the following issues:

Difficulty in aligning climate and development strategic priorities to the Paris Agreement goals; Difficulty in finding the necessary funding to implement climate-resilient development projects; Lack of technical capacities to develop and implement the projects.

The delivery modality will be informed by most advanced and tested methods uniquely applicable to achieve the effective integration of climate risks in development planning. These methods have already been tested and implemented in other African countries (e.g. Cameroon and Senegal). It relies on:

In-depth hands-on capacity building of key Government, Academic and private sector experts; Transfer of state-of-the-art and peer-reviewed economic and climate modeling tools to measure the

impacts of climate-related disasters and climate change on economic and financial indicators; Provision of a constant access to updated and relevant climate and socioeconomic data necessary to

implement the models to which the national experts will be trained at; Awareness-raising by the trained national experts of key public and private policymakers, including

members of Parliament, Ministers and leaders of the main private companies using the results of the modeling.

The following outputs are expected from the implementation of this readiness proposal:

(i) The capacity of the key Government and Academic experts in economic and climate modelling are built and they developed the ability to produce their own economic-wide and sectoral projections integrating climate risk considerations in a quantitative and scientific fashion.

(ii) State-of-the-art economic and climate modeling tools and data are made available and continuously updated to facilitate the integration of climate risks in sectoral and macroeconomic development planning.

(iii) The development and sectoral plans produced following the implementation of the readiness integrate quantitatively climate risks and appropriate measures are taken to make development objectives more resilient to climate change.

(iv) Finally, the implementation of this proposal will also support the objectives (NDA’s capacity building, country’s engagement with the Fund, and the mobilization of the private sector) of the newly approved readiness proposal for Mali (May 2019).

Overall, it will contribute to the implementation of Mali’s country program and investment plan by further mainstreaming identified development- and climate-related projects. Through the coordination mechanism established with the first readiness grant, NDA secretariat and the national climate change committee will ensure that the outcomes of the training with this readiness proposal will contribute to further the project concept notes development referred to in the 4th readiness grant (MLI-RS-004) with more elaborated climate impact studies. In addition, NDA will also ensure, through the MRS system set up with the MLI-RS-004 and the development of an action plan, the monitoring and reporting on the integration of climate risk in development plan that this readiness proposal will contribute to through.

6. IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION

6.1 Implementation map Please describe how funds will be managed by the NDA and/or the Readiness Delivery Partner.

The Funds will be received and managed by NDA. To facilitate the implementation of the readiness proposal, AEDD (the NDA) will execute the grant on its own capacity as its financial and management capacities were successfully assessed in 2018. The Funds will be received and managed by NDA. The readiness coordinator hired under readiness#4 will oversee the grant and deliver on the implementation of all project activities and reporting requirements e.g. work plan, monthly update reports, progress reports, final project reports and financial audit, under the guidance and supervision of the General Director of AEDD.

The agency accountant will be responsible for financial management and the head of the procurement office will be in charge of the procurement of goods and services and hiring consultants.

A stand-alone bank account will be established at a Bank to facilitate receipt and expenditure of funds.


6.2 Risks, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and other relevant information Considering the climate challenges faced by the countries, the readiness programme is ambitious. The ambition and success of our joint readiness programme could however face potential risks that the delivery partner with the government will mitigate as much as possible following the proposed actions.

Risks Impact Probability Mitigation measure Entity responsible

Political risk High Moderate In case of high political instability affecting the ability of the team to implement the programme, the activities will be suspended and resumed when more favorable conditions are met. To ensure the full implementation of the programme, more human resources will be recruited by the NDA after resuming its activities to catch up on the potential delay.

NDA in coordination with the selected firm

Fiduciary risk High Low The NDA will hire an external service provider to ensure the appropriate use of the resources.

NDA

Slow progress High Low The NDA’s resources will be allocated not only based on the activities presented in the logframe but will perform a constant review of the progress, ensuring the possibility to reallocate resources across activities to ensure effective implementation of the project.

3. To insert additional rows, right click on the row number below where you wish to insert the new row and choose INSERT.

4. Additional budget categories may be added by manually typing them on the Budget Category sheet. :

Project Management Cost: Project management costs (PMC) are the direct administrative costs incurred to execute a project. They should cover only incremental costs incurred due to the GCF contribution. In most cases, these costs are directly related to the support of a dedicated project management unit (PMU) which managesthe day to day execution related activities of the project.

General Principles for PMC costs: 1. The percentage of PMC financed by GCF should not be more than the percentage share of the overall budget financed by GCF 2. PMC budget thresholds: Up to 7.5 per cent of total activity budget. > PMC exceeding 7.5 per cent for the readiness (including NAPs) proposals, and PPF proposals, up to $ 3 million will require detailed documentation and justification supporting the entire PMC budget. > The PMC should be shown as a separate component in the project budget. A detailed breakdown of PMC should be provided by budget category. > Indicative list of eligible project management costs:

> Project staffing and consultants: Project manager, Project Assistant, Procurement personnel, Finance personnel & Support/admin. Personnel> Other direct costs: Office equipment, Mission related travel cost of the PMU, Project management systems and information technology, Office supplies, Audit cost

Contingency :1. Select the appropriate % of Contingency Budget from the dropdown list :

2. Contingency budget for unforeseen costs arising during the project implementation should not be included in the outcome budget separately.3. Contingency budget must be used for any unforeseen programme (output level) cost that is unrelated to implementation/service fee.4. Any use of contingency must be reported to and agreed by the GCF Secretariat in writing in advance provided with justifications that are acceptable to the GCF5. If you get to the end of the project and you haven’t spent Contingency, you can’t increase the scope of the project or buy some more equipment to use it up.
