Zambia’s Goal

To mainstream climate change into the most economically and vulnerable sectors of the economy, in order to ensure sustainable economic development towards the attainment of the country’s Vision 2030 (Become a Middle Income Country)

7th National Development as the vehicle for upscaling planning and measurement of results.

Inclusive Green Growth Approach

Integration of Low Carbon and Climate Resilient

• Mainstreams climate change adaptation and mitigation into national plans and strategies;

• Assists communities in highly vulnerable areas to identify and address their own climate change adaptation and mitigation options as part of local development plans;

• Incorporates climate resilience into existing community development funds to ensure their sustainability;

• Invests in highly visible infrastructure as a way to rally public support for adaptation;

• Builds on partnerships, particularly with private sector and civil society;

• Relies on the transformative power of communication technologies;

• Strengthens the institutional foundation for a future climate change programme in Zambia.

BUDGET TRACKING -Objective

Allocations to climate resilient Programmes increasing by

25%/in real terms for vulnerable sectors

(agriculture, environment and natural resources, energy and water, infrastructure, health

and disaster management) by 2025, relative to 2007-2011

By the conclusion of the SPCR ( or 2025), Zambia aims to increase allocations to climate-

resilient programmes by 25% in real terms

Real term allocations to climate-resilient programmes (2007-2011)-7 % rise on average

International – Comparative Baseline

OECD, Green Growth papers, Green Development Cooperation in Zambia, December 2014 Total Green bilateral ODA committed by the members

of the OECD DAC reached 30% of the total ODA commitments to the country over 2010-2012 (USD 230 million) up from 6% of total bilateral ODA commitments over 2004-2006 (USD90 million). Environment USD 133.4 million

Biodiversity USD 18.9 million

Desertification USD 12.8 million

Climate Change Mitigation USD 76.8 million

Climate Change Adaptation USD 65.8 million

Challenges Structure of the Domestic Budget makes little

recognition of climate finance. As such it is hard to tell specific items relating to climate change finance;

Tracking the Budget alone is inadequate – need for mechanism to verify the actual expenditures and outcomes to measure the outcomes against indicators;

Government structural complexity limits access to sources of data-large number of players involved;

No specific mechanism to track international follows – ICCS mechanism could help reduce challenge

Next Steps: Further Studies

Analyze and track sector programme budgets and expenditures related to climate change in the 2013 and 2014 national budgets;

Review and update the tracking tool already designed for consistency in

allocations and assess the adequacy of the tracking tool and recommend improvements;

Review the allocations to the various sectors and provinces and look at the flow

of resources, how they are disbursed and if they are spent as planned; Engage key stakeholders to identify the key issues, determine the structure of

resource flows and the institutional setup, review data availability and choose appropriate survey tool; and

To provide information and wider understanding that will inform discussions

and decisions at national level in relation to improving and streamlining access to climate change resources.

Recommend an information management system that will enhance tracking of

resources towards climate change programmes across sectors, provinces and districts

Thank you very much!!

Budget Tracking What definitions are being used in-country to track

climate change mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity activities?

How are climate- and/or biodiversity-related activities identified in national, sub-national and sectoral budgets? What methodologies and approaches are used?

What are the challenges experienced in tracking climate- and biodiversity-related finance?
