Description
In 2008 the multilateral development banks (MDBs) and a group of donor countries developed the concept of climate investment funds (CIF) providing support to developing countries to initiate transformational change toward low-carbon and climate-resilient development.
The first step in gaining access to funding is the preparation of a country investment plan, i.e., a multiyear proposal identifying how CIF resources together with cofinancing will support the country’s existing development strategies.
This study, which is part of a wider review of CIF experiences in ADB, uses a case study approach to examine how stakeholder engagement was carried out in the preparation of investment plans in Cambodia, Nepal, and the Philippines, with reference to the guidance provided by ADB and CIF in stakeholder participation. The general recommendations are as follows:
- The mission approach to preparing CIF investment plans should include more effective use of consultation plans and communication strategies, in line with MDB good practice;
- The roles of MDBs and government should be clarified and shared with stakeholders early in the process, and strategies for addressing barriers to government leadership developed;
- The expected or required minimum level of consultation for the preparation of investment plans should be clearly stated in the relevant CIF documents or a separate specific guidance document on consultation should be prepared for CIF investment plans; Guidance should be provided to ensure the inclusivity of consultations, particularly in identifying resource-efficient ways of engaging with stakeholders at the subnational level; and
- Stakeholder analysis and consultation planning should aim to establish the effective and productive involvement of civil society in investment plan preparation from the start.
Since the inception of the CIF, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has participated in the preparation of 15 investment plans covering the two main CIF funds, the Clean Technology Fund (CTF) and the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF). The SCF comprises three separate programs—the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP), and the Forest Investment Program (FIP).
