Guinea - Strengthen national planning processes for SLCP mitigation [GN-22-001]

Opening Date: 8 June 2022
Closing Date: 30 June 2022
Estimated project cost: US$ 50,000 – 75,000

Overview

The aim of this project is to provide technical assistance to support Guinea’s Ministry of Environment and Development in strengthening national short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) planning and mitigation actions. This will build on previous CCAC projects.

Expected project outcomes

Through the proposed outputs and activities, the project should achieve the following by its completion:

Outcome	Indicator	Target
1. Guinea’s government has demonstrated increased: Capacity to assess and model their SLCP emissions, to prioritize and implement SLCP mitigation measures, and to track progress Increased knowledge, coordination, and capacity for SLCP planning	Number of government entities with a demonstrated improved capacity for SLCP action	1
2. Guinea’s government endorses the methane roadmap.	Number of action plans, roadmaps, strategies, or other future plans with SLCP targets or mitigation measures formally adopted, endorsed, and/or implemented	1

Outcome

Indicator

Target

1. Guinea’s government has demonstrated increased:

Capacity to assess and model their SLCP emissions, to prioritize and implement SLCP mitigation measures, and to track progress
Increased knowledge, coordination, and capacity for SLCP planning

Number of government entities with a demonstrated improved capacity for SLCP action

2. Guinea’s government endorses the methane roadmap.

Number of action plans, roadmaps, strategies, or other future plans with SLCP targets or mitigation measures formally adopted, endorsed, and/or implemented

Minimum required outputs

The project should deliver at a minimum:

Updated and improved assessments of SLCP emissions, emission projections, and mitigation in key source sectors for integration into the 3rd National Communication (Biennial Update Report to UNFCCC) and the greenhouse gas emissions inventory, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) and transparency reports. These assessments will be used as a technical basis for preparing Guinea’s 2021 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation plan.
A methane roadmap that follows a modality agreed with the CCAC Secretariat for the priority SLCP mitigation measures identified.
Capacity building workshops and support tools to train personnel from the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests and relevant institutions on developing and updating a national inventory for SLCP emitting sectors, on developing mitigation assessments (e.g., using LEAP), and on integrating SLCPs into Guinea's climate change planning processes.
A portfolio of mitigation project concept notes for SLCP mitigation in Guinea accounting for the data generated by the SLCP mitigation assessments.

Applicants are encouraged to propose additional outputs as needed to ensure the expected project outcomes are achieved.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible for consideration, project proposals must meet the following requirements:

Are complete and submitted before the deadline
Are submitted by a non-governmental organization (NGO), intergovernmental organization (IGO), or other not-for-profit entity

It is recommended that applicants review the Guidance for Applicants prior to completing the Application Form.

The completed Application Form should be submitted to secretariat [at] ccacoalition.org before 30 June 2022.

Proposals will be evaluated against the following criteria:

Quality: the clarity of the proposed outputs and activities and the extent to which they will deliver the expected outcomes
Experience: evidence of the project team’s understanding of the national planning process and short-lived climate pollutants, and their ability to deliver the proposed project
Value for money: the level of funding requested for project delivery
Alignment: how well the proposal demonstrates its contribution to the CCAC 2030 Strategy and National Planning, Policy, and Implementation Engagement Strategy

EVALUATION PROCESS

A preliminary review of proposals submitted by the deadline will be conducted by members of the CCAC Secretariat, Funding Task Team and Board, in consultation with relevant CCAC Partners.
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to present their proposals in further detail by 22 July 2022 and to respond to follow-up questions about their application.

Notes

More information regarding Guinea’s involvement as a CCAC Partner is available on their Partner Page.

GLOSSARY

Methane roadmap

Should be in line with a modality agreed with the CCAC Secretariat. At minimum, a “methane roadmap” must:

Identify methane mitigation pathways.
Assess the cost of implementation.
Assess the institutional arrangements for implementation.
Develop a monitoring and evaluation framework for the methane mitigation pathways.

It may also include:

Improvements to the national methane inventory
