PHILIPPINES: CLIMATE CHANGE CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT
IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE LOW-EMISSION CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMME
1. SITUATION ANALYSIS
The Philippines has already been experiencing the ever-increasing impacts of climate change, which
have affected directly development strategies at the national and local levels. As in many affected
countries, the need to understand and manage a tremendous amount of related technical information
and at the same time to bring various stakeholders together to address climate change concerns
coherently becomes a big challenge in the midst of scarce resources.
In 2009, the Climate Change Commission (CCC) was established with the enactment of the Republic
Act 9729 known as the Climate Change Act. Among its powers and functions include recommendation
of legislations, policies and strategies on climate change adaptation and mitigation as well as oversee
the dissemination of information on climate change-related issues. Furthermore, the Commission is
also mandated to formulate strategies on mitigating greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic
causes of climate change.
As a Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Philippines
has prepared two national communications, which included the GHG National Inventories. For the
Initial National Communication, submitted to the UNFCCC in 2000, the Philippines reported its national
GHG emissions, with 1994 as its base year. The Philippines is set to submit its Second National
Communication (SNC) containing the national GHG inventory for 2000. Despite the fact that the
Philippines is not a major emitter, it acknowledges the importance of accounting for its GHG emissions
as one possible strategy for achieving sustainable development. The SNC saw the need to
institutionalize the GHG inventory process in relevant government agencies. GHG inventory
institutionalization is a critical component to help the Philippines be in a position to conduct the
inventory on a regular basis. This activity would not just help the Philippines fulfill its obligations to
the UNFCCC but also enable the country to transition towards a more climate-friendly development
path by providing a good basis for formulating mitigation strategies. Initial attempt at mitigation
analysis was included in the SNC but data included was limited. There is therefore a need to come up
with a more comprehensive mitigation analysis.
The Philippine National Framework Strategy on Climate Change (2010 – 2022) articulates the national
commitment and highlights the clean development path for the country and the mutually beneficial
relationship between climate change mitigation and adaptation, where mitigation is seen as a function
of adaptation. A National Climate Change Action Plan has been issued by the Climate Change
Commission in compliance with Republic Act No. 9729 or the Climate Change Act of 2009 and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations and with international commitments. As stated in the UNDAF
2012 – 2018, the UN will collaborate with the Climate Change Commission (CCC), Local government
units (LGUs) and vulnerable communities in climate proofing (i.e. integrating climate change
adaptation activities) national, regional and local plans, planning and programming guidelines, and
regulatory processes; the development and testing of climate and impact monitoring systems at all
levels; the development and testing of competency development programs for agencies, communities
and other key stakeholders; and the development or strengthening of knowledge management and
technical support systems.
In the Philippines, there is an increasing awareness and resolve to take action and cooperation on the
parts of the Public Sector and Industry. However, the capacity for systematic reporting of greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions needs further strengthening. Likewise, the country also faces some concerns in
defining Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and designing low-emission development
strategies (LEDS), as well as the associated Measurable, Reportable and Verifiable (MRV) systems.
7
Industry’s participation in adopting mitigation actions, particularly in carbon-intensive sectors, plays a
crucial role and is slowly gaining ground.
The Low Emission Capacity Building Project (or also referred herein as the LECB Project) will be
implemented under UNDP rules and procedures. The Philippines is among the 15 phase 1 countries to
be provided support for their national efforts to integrate climate change into strategies and plans and
ensure appropriate linkages between policy making and options for financing. UNDP works with
national governments while collaborating with other UN agencies in order to help UN Country Teams
and governments integrate climate risk into the formulation and implementation of key UN
cooperation frameworks such as the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF).
The LECB Project will act as a liaison between Industry and the Public Sector to achieve this
cooperation.
Responding to climate change and achieving low-carbon growth and development will be a major
challenge for a developing country, requiring significant action and cooperation from both the public
and industrial sectors. Industry‘s enormous role in meeting this challenge consists of spearheading the
investment and technological innovation that will underpin low-carbon growth, of providing financing
for mitigation and adaptation, of adopting low-carbon production processes, and of encouraging and
facilitating more climate-conscious purchasing decisions by consumers. Nevertheless, reporting tools
and technical expertise must be made available.
As stated in the Country Programme Document (CPD) 2012-2016, the overall approach will be to
strengthen capacities of the local government and communities including climate change adaptation
(which includes mitigation as an adaptive approach) while ensuring that human rights and gender are
integrated into local policies, processes, programs and budgets.
The Climate Change Commission (CCC), by virtue of Climate Change Act of 2009 and the attendant
National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) adopted by the GoP, provides the policy, institutional
and legal frameworks for the climate change agenda for the country. In the institutional mapping
exercise conducted, six sectors have been identified that need climate change capacity building as
described above, namely: energy, transport, agriculture, industry, forestry/land use, and waste
management. Currently, the CCC is engaged in proposing one (1) project and implementing two (2)
endeavors related to mitigation issues such as GHG inventory, LEDS and MRV. The proposed project is
the subject of this Proposal Document. The first ongoing project is the Regional Capacity Building
Project for Sustainable GHG Inventory Management Systems in Southeast Asia (SEA GHG) Phase II.
This project is in collaboration with the UNFCCC and the US Government where they provide only
technical assistance or advice in developing a sustainable inventory management system. Training for
the Agriculture and Land Use Greenhouse Gas Inventory (ALU) software is conducted focusing on the
Agriculture and Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sectors. The second ongoing
endeavor is the Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies (EC-LEDS) Project. A
Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Climate Change Commission (CCC) and the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This activity focuses primarily on GHG
Inventory, among other topics.
As decided in the consultation meetings, the LECB Project will focus on four sectors: transport,
agriculture, waste, and industry, while the other two sectors (energy and forestry/land use) will be
given attention also through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) program
on Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies (EC-LEDS). The SEA GHG Phase II
project will assist the CCC in completing a template for the institutional arrangements, QA/QC and
archiving as well as provide technical assistance in using the ALU software for the agriculture and
forestry/land use sectors. The CCC will oversee all the sectors under its national mandate and
program to ensure the complementation of projects. Under the LECB Project, the Philippines will focus
on Area 1: Public Sector capacity building on national GHG inventory systems, MRV, NAMAs and LEDS.
8
The Global Support Unit of the overarching LECB Programme will help the Philippines – among other
participating countries – build the needed capacities. The Philippine participation in the LECB
Programme therefore provides very important synergistic opportunities for the country with its other
related ongoing and planned initiatives in the environmental, political, and institutional aspects.
2. STRATEGY
The Philippine project rationale is consistent with the LECB Programme rationale that countries need
support in terms of providing technical expertise and assistance in developing capacity of the Public
Sector (since the Philippines is a participant to Area 1 of the LECB Programme). Capacity development
is central to the country’s efforts to tackle climate change. This includes increasing institutional
capacities to provide appropriate mechanisms of support and coordination when addressing climate
risks. It includes strengthening technical knowledge in order to better understand and make use of
climate information, and increasing relevant data and access to data for planning and decision-making.
In these areas, the LECB Programme can play an important role in helping the Philippines understand
how to take climate change into account more effectively when developing planning strategies and
designing and implementing policies.
The project strategy is also in line with the LECB Programme strategy to support the formulation and
implementation of smaller, more specific projects at the national level in each country through the
Programme’s Global Support Component (GSC). Thus, this Project Document includes details of the
expected outcomes and activities, which are planned to take place under the Philippine individual
national project according to the country’s needs and priorities, with technical support foreseen from
the overall programme.
As part of the Programme’s inception phase, and as guided by the GSC, the Philippines carried out
stocktaking exercise and stakeholder consultations for the design of its national project. This included
an assessment of needs as part of the stocktaking exercise, which included gap identification based on
desk research, stakeholders consultation and the experiences in the initial and second National
Communications as well as results from related complementary initiatives, actions and programs. The
stocktaking has identified the needed scope and nature of the country’s project proposal and the
potential synergies with ongoing projects and/or policy matters which is incorporated in this project
document that will have to be reviewed by the National Steering Committee. This process ensures that
this project complies with UNDP processes and is aligned with the interests and needs identified at the
country level considering the country’s available resources, capacities and interests. As appropriate,
this project shall include cross-cutting practices such as gender, poverty reduction and capacity
development and shall link with the UNDAF focus for the Philippines, as maybe appropriate.
The guiding strategy therefore is for UNDP to ensure the necessary linkages of this national project
with the UNDAF in close coordination with the GoP more specifically by:
• Understanding both the beneficial and detrimental linkages between climate change and
development;
• Using this knowledge to strengthen the national development framework and UNDAF
priorities;
• Addressing climate change related risks and opportunities as early as possible in UN-supported
programmes and projects; and
• Tracking progress towards achievement of UNDAF outcomes, including their contribution to
climate resilience and low-carbon development at the national level.
This Project Document includes the proposed activities within the Programme’s Area 1: Public Sector
capacity building on national inventory systems, and MRV, NAMAs and LEDS in four identified sectors
9
of the country: Transport, Agriculture, Waste and Industry, as a result of the stocktaking exercise and
context assessment for the Philippines. In the process of project development and a series of
stakeholder consultations, country ownership has been achieved to ensure that this project is aligned
with the political and institutional mandates in climate change. As such, the project’s activities and
outcomes have been designed to likewise ensure sustainability and replicability beyond the
programme’s four-year term.
The design of the Project Document is guided by existing policies of the government on mitigation.
The project is consistent with the goal of the Philippines’ National Climate Change Action Plan to “build
the adaptive capacities of women and men in their communities, increase the resilience of vulnerable
sectors and natural ecosystems to climate change, and optimize mitigation opportunities towards
gender-responsive and rights-based sustainable development”.
Furthermore, the project document builds on the identified gaps and needs of key undertakings such
as Second National Communications, among others. Initial work on the identification of key
institutions for the national GHG inventory was done and there is a need to review the institutional
structure and identify mechanisms to address sectoral needs. A more comprehensive study for
identifying and prioritizing mitigation options and design a system for reporting and archiving data are
also seen as important activities.
It will be important to have effective coordination mechanisms and synergistic approaches between
the LECB project and other similar and complementary initiatives, such as EC LEDS and SEA GHG
(Phase II), through regular meetings among the respective project working groups in the planned
dialogue platforms. Additionally, close coordination among the UNDP, USAID and other partners will
be undertaken particularly on the NAMA expectations in the course of project implementation. This
coordination will ensure that a coherence framework or methodological approach to develop the
NAMAs is used across the sectors covered under the two initiatives.
As part of Philippine participation in Area 1: Public Sector Capacity Building on GHG Inventory systems,
NAMAs, LEDS, and MRV in the designated four sectors composed of the Transport, Agriculture, Waste
and Industry sectors, the following are the expected outcomes from which the project objectives are
directed to and as described and outlined in Appendix A:
� Outcome 1: Robust national system for preparation of GHG emission inventories have been
established at a national level
� Outcome 2: NAMAs and 4 sectoral road maps have been formulated within the context of
national development priorities
� Outcome 3: MRV systems have been designed to support implementation and evaluation of
NAMAs and LEDS/sectoral road maps
3. It is very important to note that while this project focuses on the Public Sector in general, its
project activities and outputs will involve participation to some extent of the private sector as well.
To have a flexibility that will ensure that, where feasible, the country will have and can benefit
from this capacity-building support to the fullest extent. Furthermore, potential linkages and
synergies between the Public and Private sectors will identify opportunities for public-private
partnerships to address key climate change priorities under the project in a coordinated manner.
In this context, the country will be able to identify the most suitable options to engage the private
sector in the formulation and implementation of the project and its activities. For this project, and
consistent with Area 1 focus, the Public sector can play a key role in the design of policies,
regulations and incentives to facilitate the active engagement of the private sector in efforts to
address climate change concerns. On the other hand, the private sector can identify and
implement concrete actions on the ground, at the sectoral or industrial level, to reduce GHG
emissions while ensuring linkages with development needs and economic growth.

6. MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS
The National Project Management arrangement is characterized as a multilateral system, comprised
of the designated government institution at a lateral level with the UNDP Country Office on a
nationally-executed scheme. While this project focuses on the Agriculture, Transport, Waste, and
Industry sectors, it also primarily aligns itself with the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP)
which covers all the sectors under all programs and projects of the Government of the Philippines
(GoP) on climate change through the Climate Change Commission. This project management
arrangement therefore pertains to this LECB Project only and the scope it has on climate change
mitigation.
The management/organizational structure that define the implementing arrangements among the
project participants through the Project Management and Secretariat and the Technical Working
Groups is shown in Fig. 1 below.
Figure 1: Management Arrangements for Implementing the Project
Implementing Partner
The designated government institution and lead implementing partner is the Climate Change
Commission (CCC). Being the Implementing Partner (IP), the CCC is fully responsible and accountable
for managing the project and ensuring the on-the-ground implementation of the project, the
achievement of the expected project outcomes and outputs and the effective use of the project
resources. The IP chairs the project National Steering Committee (NSC). Specifically, the IP shall
prepare the Annual Work Plan (AWP) for the approval of the National Steering Committee; review
and sign the Combined Delivery Report (CDR) at the end of the year; and sign the Financial Report
(FR) or the Funding Authorization and Certificate of Expenditures (FACE). The IP works closely with

the UNDP Country Office (CO) in defining, assessing and monitoring program outputs and
achievements towards desired development outcomes. The project relies on strong collaboration
among the participating Philippine government departments and agencies and other stakeholders
for which the CCC is at the vantage point as it is also administratively under the GoP Office of the
President. A high-level official of CCC is appointed as the Project Focal Point (PFP), thus ensuring
country ownership and the effective and efficient steering of the project towards outcomes and
outputs that are of relevance and interest to the Philippines.
UNDP Country Office
The UNDP CO (through the Country Director or designated UNDP staff) is responsible for the
successful execution of program outcomes and monitoring of interdependencies between projects
and managing changes within and among projects. At the same time, UNDP CO co-chairs the NSC.
While project assurance is the responsibility of each NSC member, the UNDP assumes the overall
project assurance role in support of the NSC by carrying out objective and independent project
oversight and monitoring functions, and ensures that appropriate project management milestones
are managed and completed.
National Steering Committee
The NSC acts as the Project Board and provides the overall guidance and direction in implementing
the project with the full cooperation of all the NSC members from relevant main government and
sectoral counterparts. It is responsible for making consensus management decisions for the project.
It is consulted by the Project Management and Secretariat (PMS) for decisions when project
management tolerances (normally in terms of time and budget) have been exceeded.
Based on the approved Annual Work Plan (AWP), the NSC will meet quarterly with one meeting
dedicated for an Annual Review to review and approve project annual and quarterly plans when
required and authorizes any major deviation from these agreed quarterly plans. It is the authority
that signs off the completion of each quarterly plan as well as authorizes the start of the next
quarterly plan. These meetings should take place in person and thorough minutes must be kept.
Follow-up actions will be identified and concrete recommendations made on how to address
specific issues that may arise during the implementation of the project.
The NSC is composed of the following members to be represented by designated key officials:
Chair: Climate Change Commission
Vice Chair: UNDP Philippine Country Office
Members:
- Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC)
- Department of Energy (DOE)
- Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)
- Department of Agriculture (DA)
- Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)
- National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)
- National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC).
- Representative from the Private Sector

Project Management and Secretariat
The Project Management and Secretariat (PMS) group is headed by the designated Project Focal
Point (PFP) from CCC who acts as the overall Project Manager (PM). The PM is assisted by a
Technical Officer, a Project Assistant and an Admin Officer to be hired by the project. The NSC
provides guidance whenever required by the PFP and the Technical Officer.
The PM has the authority to run the project on a day-to-day basis on behalf of the IP and the NSC
within the policies and guidelines set by the NSC. The PM will facilitate the hiring of a team of
consultants to help in delivering the Project Outputs. Experts on training and capacity development,
greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, NAMAs/LEDS, MRV systems, information technology, promotion
and knowledge management, M&E and audit will comprise the team of consultants.
The PMS will provide technical coordination of the three technical working groups in their respective
areas and in the cross-cutting activities, operating concerns and secretariat services for the project.
Technical Working Groups
There will be three Technical Working Groups (TWGs) that will be organized to assist the IP firm up
the methodologies, framework and strategies to be delivered under the Project. The TWGs will be
the technical arms of the Project. They will be tapped to ensure technical soundness and logical
consistency of outputs with current policies and programs on climate change mitigation for the
country in the three key result areas of the project:
1. Technical Working Group 1: GHG Emission Inventories
2. Technical Working Group 2: NAMAs and LEDS
3. Technical Working Group 3: MRV Systems
The TWGs will be composed of technical experts from key institutions and stakeholders of the
project as identified during the project development to be assisted by the consultants to be hired
through the project.

7. MONITORING AND EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
Project progress will be monitored according to UNDP rules and regulations by using quarterly and
annual reviews against a set of implementation milestones. Monitoring will be ongoing, involving
data collection and assessment of the project’s field implementation and will involve key project
staff meeting to review operations and field implementation periodically and to assess whether new
priorities require a shift in the project’s implementation approach.
Progressive indicators measuring processes, outputs, and outcomes have been included in the
Project Results Framework (PRF). Indicators are both qualitative and quantitative.
Monitoring Project Progress
Tools for monitoring the Project’s timely completion, quality of the outputs and the efficient use of
allotted resources (financial, human and physical) will include:
Within the annual cycle, on a quarterly basis
- On a quarterly basis, a quality assessment shall record progress towards the completion
of key results, based on quality criteria and methods captured in the Quality Management
table below.
- An Issue Log shall be activated in Atlas and updated by the Project Manager to facilitate
tracking and resolution of potential problems or requests for change.
- Based on the initial risk analysis submitted, a risk log shall be activated in Atlas and regularly
updated by reviewing the external environment that may affect the project implementation.
- Based on the above information recorded in Atlas, a Project Progress Reports (PPR) shall be
submitted by the Project Manager to the NSC through UNDP acting the role of Project
Assurance, using the standard report format available in the Executive Snapshot.
- A project Lesson-learned log shall be activated and regularly updated to ensure on-going
learning and adaptation within the organization, and to facilitate the preparation of the
Lessons-learned Report at the end of the project
- A Monitoring Schedule Plan shall be activated in Atlas and updated to track key
management actions/events.
26
Annually
- Field visits: Representatives from the UNDP and EU Offices in Manila should visit the project
at least once a year. Field visits serve the purpose of results validation, especially when
undertaken in the first half of the year. If undertaken in the latter part of the year, the field
visit should provide latest information on progress for annual reporting preparation. Field
visits should be documented through brief and action-oriented reports, submitted within
the week of return to the office.
- Annual Review Report: An Annual Review Report shall be prepared by the Project Manager
and shared with the NSC. As a self-assessment by the project management, it does not
require a cumbersome preparatory process. As minimum requirement, the Annual Review
Report shall consist of the Atlas standard format for the PPR covering the whole year with
updated information for each above element of the PPR as well as a summary of results
achieved against pre-defined annual targets at the output level. As such, it can be readily
used to spur dialogue with the NSC and partners.
- Annual Project Review: Based on the above report, an annual project review shall be
conducted during the fourth quarter of the year or soon after, to assess the performance of
the project and appraise the Annual Work Plan (AWP) for the following year. In the last year,
this review will be a final assessment. This review is driven by the NSC and may involve
other stakeholders as required. It shall focus on the extent to which progress is being made
towards outputs, and that these remain aligned to appropriate outcomes. Once cleared, key
elements of the reports shall feed directly into the annual reporting exercise on results at
the outcome level.
Audit and External Evaluation
- The project will also be subject to at least one external management audit in accordance
with established UNDP regulations.
- The project will also be subject to at least one independent evaluation, i.e. mid-term review,
to be conducted by an external team to assess progress on outputs/outcomes and identify
areas for strategic, budgetary, or programmatic adjustments if necessary.
- Apart from the external audit mentioned above, the project is also subject to internal UNDP
and EU Office spot checks/audits.
At project completion
- The project’s Terminal or Project Completion Report (PCR) that will sum up the level of the
project’s accomplishments in meeting its objectives, outcomes and outputs. The PCR will
also highlight the breakthroughs and innovative contributions of the project in the field of
coordination system development which are worth replicating in similar projects to be
undertaken in other countries. It will also set out the strategies to efficiently managing
resources.
- Results from the Project will be disseminated within and beyond the Project intervention
through information sharing networks and/or through publications. For publications,
proper acknowledgement to UNDP and programme donors for providing funding will be
ensured.
27
Adaptive Management and Project Revisions
- The monitoring framework and indicators will provide the project management with regular
information on the project status. In addition, regular feedback will come from the Project
Board. Collectively, this feedback will enable the project management to continuously learn
lessons and modify approaches and strategies, and to overcome challenges and exploit
opportunities.
- Budget revisions/amendments to the contract will be done through a formal exchange of
letters between UNDP and the Climate Change Commission along with a revised Work and
Financial Plan. Depending on the nature of the amendment, the proposed revision will be
subject to UNDP and EU processes and procedures.

Project Inception
A Project Inception Workshop will be held within the first 2 months of project start-up with those
with assigned roles in the project organization structure, the UNDP CO and, where
appropriate/feasible, regional technical policy and programme advisors, as well as other
stakeholders. The Inception Workshop is crucial for building ownership regarding the project results
and to prepare the Year 1 Annual Work Plan.
The Inception Workshop will address a number of key issues including:
a) Assist all partners to fully understand and take ownership of the project. Discuss the roles,
functions, and responsibilities within the project's decision-making structures, including
reporting and communication lines, and conflict resolution mechanisms. The Terms of
Reference for project staff can be discussed again as needed.
b) Based on the Project Results Framework (Section 3), finalize the Year 1 Annual Work Plan,
review and agree on the indicators, targets and their means of verification, and recheck
assumptions and risks.
c) Provide a detailed overview of reporting, monitoring and evaluation requirements. The
M&E work plan and budget should be agreed and scheduled.
d) Discuss financial reporting procedures and obligations.
e) Plan and schedule NSC meetings. Roles and responsibilities of all project organization
structures should be clarified and meetings planned. The first NSC meeting should be held
within the first 12 months following the Inception Workshop.
An Inception Workshop Report is a key reference document and will be prepared and shared with
participants to formalize various agreements and plans decided during the meeting. It should be
considered a key deliverable of the project.

Learning and Knowledge Sharing
As noted earlier, it will be important to have effective coordination mechanisms and synergistic
approaches between the LECB project and other similar and complementary initiatives, such as EC
LEDS and Third National Communication, through regular meetings among the respective project
working groups in the planned dialogue platforms. Additionally, close coordination among the
UNDP, USAID and other partners will be undertaken particularly on the NAMA expectations in the
course of project implementation. This coordination will ensure that a coherence framework or
methodological approach to develop the NAMAs is used across the sectors covered under the two
initiatives.
Furthermore, potential linkages and synergies between the Public and Private sectors will identify
opportunities for public-private partnerships to address key climate change priorities under the
project in a coordinated manner. In this context, the country will be able to identify the most
suitable options to engage the private sector in the formulation and implementation of the project
and its activities.
Results from the project will be disseminated within and beyond the project intervention zone
through existing information sharing networks and forums at the sub-national, national, regional,
and global levels. The national management unit will work closely with the Programme’s Global
Support Component in this context.
The project team will also identify and participate, as relevant and appropriate, in scientific, policy-
based and/or any other networks, which may be of benefit to project implementation through
lessons learned.
The project will identify, analyze, and share lessons learned that might be beneficial in the design
and implementation of similar future projects. There will be a two-way flow of information between
this project and other projects of a similar focus, supported by the Programme’s Global Support
Unit. Specific agreed activities for ensuring uptake of lessons learned and best practices are detailed
in Appendix D.

9. APPENDICES
Appendix A
TECHNICAL COMPONENTS OF THE
PHILIPPINES: CLIMATE CHANGE CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT
Introduction
The Low Emission Capacity Building Programme (or briefly referred herein as the LECB Programme
or the Overall Global Programme) will be carried out in fifteen phase 1 countries, including the
Philippines, over a four-year period. The national project for the country is referred to as the
“Philippines: Climate Change Capacity Building Project” or referred herein also as the Project.
The Overall Global Programme will strengthen national capacities to do the following: 1)
Develop/establish greenhouse gas inventory management systems; 2) Formulate Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and/or low-emission development strategies (LEDS) in the
context of national development; 3) Design MRV systems to support implementation and evaluation
of NAMAs and LEDS; and, in a few select countries, 4) Facilitate the design and adoption of
mitigation actions by selected industries; and 5) Support the design of the associated MRV systems
for industrial mitigation measures. The Philippines will focus on outcomes 1 to 3.
A Global Support Unit is providing technical assistance to countries in the design and
implementation of project activities at the national level, in response to the need for capacity
development at the country level, as well as to opportunities that have been identified for engaging
Public Sector and Industry support and participation in addressing the issue of climate change. The
Programme will operate at the global and national levels and will seek to engage relevant
stakeholders at all levels to meet the objectives of the Project.
1. Description of project outcomes and key activities
As part of Philippine participation in Area 1: Public Sector Capacity Building on GHG Inventory
systems, NAMAs, LEDS, and MRV in the designated four sectors composed of the Transport,
Agriculture, Waste, and Industry sectors, the following are the expected outcomes from which the
Project objectives are directed to produce the desired outputs and results.
� Outcome 1: Robust national system for preparation of GHG emission inventories have been
established at a national level
� Outcome 2: NAMAs and sectoral road maps have been formulated within the context of
national development priorities
� Outcome 3: MRV systems have been designed to support implementation and evaluation of
NAMAs and LEDS/sectoral road maps.
It is very important to note that while this Project focuses on the Public Sector in general, its project
activities and outputs will involve participation to some extent of the Industry sector as well. To have
a flexibility that will ensure that, where feasible, the country will have and can benefit from this
capacity-building support to the fullest extent. In fact, the capacity building of the Industry sector
which will cover GHG-intensive manufacturing companies will be covered in the Area 1 focus.
Furthermore, potential linkages and synergies between the Public and Industry sectors will identify
opportunities for public-private partnerships to address key climate change priorities under the
project in a coordinated manner. In this context, the country will be able to identify the most
35
suitable options to engage the private sector in the formulation and implementation of the project
and its activities.
For this Project and consistent with Area 1 focus, the Public sector can play a key role in the design
of policies, regulations and incentives to facilitate the active engagement of the private sector in
efforts to address climate change concerns. On the other hand, the private sector can identify and
implement concrete actions on the ground, at the sectoral or industrial level, to reduce GHG
emissions while ensuring linkages with development needs and economic growth.
� Outcome 1: Robust national system for preparation of GHG emission inventories have been
established in the Transport, Agriculture, Waste, and Industry Sectors
The Project will support technical and institutional capacity development geared toward
improving GHG inventories, including for MRV-related activities. The technical advice should
facilitate the establishment and long-term sustainability of national technical teams for the
preparation of upcoming national communications, including GHG inventories, on a continuous
basis. The Project’s expected outputs under Outcome 1 are:
• Output 1.1: Understanding of the requirements for a GHG inventory system and a
description of institutional arrangements
Activity 1.1: Build capacity for national systems for the preparation of GHG inventories. This
must take into account the potential requirement for more frequent GHG inventory and NC
reporting. Work includes training in understanding requirements, analyzing key emitters,
and describing institutional arrangements.
The outputs of this activity will be produced through training and seminar/workshops for
relevant government officials and staff involved in the GHG inventory activity. The training
program will be based on a training needs analysis to be conducted by a Capacity Building
Specialist. The relevant government officials and staff will the participants in the training and
seminar/workshops conducted in developing and introducing the national GHG inventory
system. The participants’ role in GHG inventory system development and implementation
will be presented and discussed. On-training evaluation will be accomplished by participants
during every training and seminar/workshop conducted. The work will build on the results
and lessons learned from the GHG inventory prepared under the Second NC and will ensure
the necessary coordination with the Third NC project, as appropriate3. A post-evaluation of
the training program effectiveness and impact will be conducted by the Capacity Building
Specialist as participants apply the acquired learning in their actual duties and
responsibilities.
• Output 1.2: Well designed and established national systems for the preparation of GHG
inventories and NCs
Activity 1.2: Design and establish national systems for the preparation of GHG inventories
and NCs. This includes training in the use of tools, the use of enhanced documentation
formats, QA/QC, the use of archiving systems, and planning inventory improvement. The
IPCC Good Practice Guidelines will be used as the basis for the design of the inventory
systems that will be sustained and maintained in the long term.
3 The Philippines has not started its Third NC, but it is expected that the preparatory phase will be initiated later
in 2012. The LECB project team will work closely with the NC team to avoid any potential duplication and
identify areas of collaboration and complementarity.
36
A GHG inventory system manual containing the rules of procedure and other details as part
of a manual (incl. timelines, budget, system sustainability, etc.) shall be developed and
disseminated. In order to ensure that the system developed will effectively meet the sector
and country requirements a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) strategy and
maintenance system shall be documented and adopted by the NSC for endorsement to CCC
for the latter’s implementation.
• Output 1.3: Appropriate institutional frameworks established to ensure regular updates of
GHG inventories
Activity 1.3: Establish institutional frameworks and coordination mechanisms that ensure
periodic GHG inventory updates. This will entail the creation of the institutional structure
and appropriate mandates to ensure that actual data required for GHG inventories can be
compiled on a regular basis and in the required format. A coordinated structure will seek to
integrate GHG inventory work into the institutions responsible for the relevant sectors for
long term sustainability.
In order to ensure the official policy adoption and institutionalization of the GHG inventory
system as well as the budgetary, organizational and sustainability arrangements, a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) shall be prepared with key institutional partners.
• Output 1.4: Established linkages between the GHG inventory system and MRV system for
NAMAs and LEDS
Activity 1.4: Institutionalize mechanisms at the national and institutional levels to link GHG
Inventory system to MRV-related activities on a sustained basis. To institutionalize the
linkage between the GHG inventory system and the MRV schemes adopted to support
decision making and program outcome monitoring and evaluation.
Standards in data acquisition, measurement and analysis shall be established and
institutionalized in order to generate quality reports on regular periodic basis. These should
be part of the overall strategy that shall be adopted and approved at the project level by the
NSC for subsequent adoption by the CCC in cooperation with various stakeholders, along
with a decision for yearly periodic updates and maintenance. For purposes of continuing
improvement of the GHG inventory system, an external expert review shall be conducted
toward the end of the project.
� Outcome 2: NAMAs and sectoral roadmaps have been formulated within the context of
national development priorities as applied to the Transport, Agriculture, Waste, and Industry
Sectors
The Project will support the Philippines’ planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of
mitigation strategies and programs. Support will be provided in the areas of a) developing
methodologies and tools to carry out mitigation analysis, b) prioritizing mitigation measures in
accordance with development priorities, c) designing the institutional mechanisms to support
adoption of mitigation measures, and d) setting up the reporting structure for monitoring the
implementation of mitigation measures and evaluating their effectiveness, including the design
of indicators to measure progress. In order to build synergies with national priorities, national
policies that can be “upgraded” to NAMAs will be identified, taking into account different
37
potential sources of financing, such as domestic, international, or carbon market financing. The
choice of appropriate methodologies and/or tools will consider best practices that are known
and applicable to the Philippine situation.
Outcome 2 is expected to produce substantive lessons learned for replication in future activities
or as useful examples for other countries. These lessons learned will be related to a high-level
coordination framework for mitigation programs, a NAMA and LEDS roadmap toolkit, and NAMA
and sectoral roadmap case studies. The expected outputs and activities under Outcome 2 are:
• Output 2.1: Understanding of the coordination, planning, design, implementation, and
evaluation of NAMAs and sectoral roadmaps (as precursor to a LEDS)
Activity 2.1: Build capacity to coordinate, plan, design, and implement mitigation actions and
low-emissions strategies. This activity will build upon the results of the mitigation analysis
carried out previously under the NCs. It will include the definition of the business-as-usual
and mitigation scenarios for the selected sectors and involve the participation of key
stakeholders. This includes training courses and workshops in which mitigation measures are
formulated jointly and action plans are specified for implementation and monitoring.
Training activities will be carried out in close coordination with the initiatives supported by
USAID and GIZ.
Aside from the usual on-training evaluation by participants, a post-training evaluation by the
Capacity Building Specialist shall be conducted to assess if the participants are applying the
training and knowledge gained on the understanding of the coordination, planning, design,
implementation, and evaluation of NAMAs and LEDS.
• Output 2.2: Formulation of NAMAs and sectoral roadmaps at the national level
Activity 2.2: Identify and prioritize mitigation actions in the key sectors. This will include
alignment with the target country’s short- and long-term national development goals.
NAMAs and sectoral roadmaps will be formulated in four sectors using national level
workshops and related synthesis studies. This will involve public and private actors for both
autonomously implemented NAMAs as well as those requiring international support. The
work includes joint specification of clear indicators to identify priority actions for the
Transport, Agriculture, Waste, and Industry Sectors.
As a result of the activity, the sectoral roadmaps that are formulated at the national level
will aid in identifying and prioritizing NAMAs for the Transport, Agriculture, Waste, and
Industry Sectors.
• Output 2.3: Establishment of NAMAs and sectoral policy instruments, technology options,
and funding strategies
Activity 2.3: Identify policy, financing, and technology instruments to implement mitigation
actions and low emissions strategies. This will involve the development of financing
strategies, with priority given to efforts to secure funding for short- to medium-term
activities and related policy instruments. The goal is put forward a policy-ready and
investment-ready portfolio of activities that will be developed in the Project. Having done
sufficient consultations and adopted NAMAs and sectoral policy instruments, technology
options, and funding strategies at the NSC level, this could lead to adoption at the national
level through the CCC. Ultimately, the Project shall endeavor to introduce the portfolio to
38
the banking and financial sector for their future inclusion in their overall banking portfolio
and implementation.
• Output 2.4: Establishment of dialogue platforms for stakeholders and interested actors
Activity 2.4: Establish and facilitate dialogue platforms for mitigation actions and low-
emissions strategies. These platforms will provide the basis for continuous interaction with
stakeholders and for the monitoring of the project’s activities. The sharing of experiences
and documentation of progress in the adoption of mitigation actions and low emissions
strategies that are in line with the country’s developmental needs and priorities shall
generate lessons learned and best practices that can be shared in various fora in the country
and in international symposia. These will be done through sectoral dialogues, consultation
and consensus building in Transportation, Agriculture and Industry which can be integrated
in the final stages of the Project to have a national level platform of exchange and
documentation.
� Outcome 3: MRV systems have been designed to support implementation and evaluation of
NAMAs and LEDS/sectoral roadmaps
In the Philippines, among other selected countries where the focus is on formulation of effective
NAMAs and/or LEDS, attention will be paid to designing MRV systems. This will be done by
establishing appropriate indicators for monitoring mitigation actions, as well as by helping to
create conditions necessary to support future investment in mitigation measures. The focus will
be on establishing scopes, metrics/indicators, reporting mechanisms, verification mechanisms,
and time frames. An improved MRV system will take into account whether NAMAs and/or
LEDS/sectoral roadmaps are implemented autonomously, through support from developed
countries, or through an international crediting mechanism. Suggested criteria for the MRV
systems include: credibility, cost effectiveness, timeliness, and a simple and clear procedure
which provides enough flexibility for a wide range of mitigation actions.
Outcome 3 could also result in a set of publications, examples of which include: a MRV system
training toolkit and compilations of case studies of MRV Protocol, LEDS Protocol, and MRV
system work.
The Project’s expected outputs and activities under Outcome 3 are:
• Output 3.1: Training of local personnel in MRV tools for NAMAs and LEDS/sectoral roadmaps
Activity 3.1: Build capacity in MRV-related activities in order that high government officials
can support mitigation actions and low-emissions strategies. This includes the different
executive departments such as Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
Department of Finance, Department of Transportation and Communication, Department of
Agriculture, Department of Trade and Industry, etc. Activities will consist primarily of tailor-
made information sessions. At the outset, a training needs assessment shall be done by a
Capacity Building Specialist which shall form the basis of the implementation plan and the
evaluation to be conducted to assess the outcome of the activity.
• Output 3.2: MRV systems for NAMAs and LEDS/sectoral road maps developed
Activity 3.2: Design a MRV system to support the implementation of mitigation actions and
low-emissions strategies. Among other things, work here includes the selection of
39
appropriate methodologies and monitoring protocols, training for the use of protocols and
tools, establishment and organization of a reporting process, and selection of verification
bodies.
• Output 3.3: Develop a national technology information system
Activity 3.3: Develop national technology systems for information and monitoring. This
activity will be built on current initiatives with GEF funding to help the country conduct their
technology needs assessments in the four selected sectors under the project. At the
baseline, there is no formally established information system that could directly support
NAMAs and LEDS/sectoral roadmaps implementation. The activity will start with the
Transportation, Agriculture, Waste, and Industry Sectors.
The Global Support Component
UNDP will support national project teams through a Global Support Component (GSC) by providing
guidance and capacity-development support. In particular, the GSC will work with countries to
identify key capacity challenges and barriers to implementation; monitor progress at both the
output and outcome levels; disseminate relevant resources, tools and training materials countries to
support national project activities; and disseminate knowledge and best practices within the global
cohort in order to enhance south-south learning and exchange of experiences.
At the beginning of project implementation, the GSC will discuss specific technical assistance needs
with the Philippines in order to design a strategy for technical backstopping in different areas and
identify a possible schedule for any needed trainings. The GSC will also.
2. Strategy to link process and outcomes of the project to relevant planning and decision making
processes
The overall Work Plan is to build capacities for the GHG National Inventory System, NAMAs & LEDS,
and MRV systems in parallel, since the work areas are so closely linked to one another. For more
effective and productive implementation of related activities, the dialogue platforms for NAMAs and
LEDS will provide an opportunity for continuous engagement of the GHG and MRV teams and the
regular meeting and sharing of results among all the project working groups.
The Project will be implemented within a strong policy, legal and institutional infrastructure through
the Climate Change Commission operating under and overseen by the Office of the GoP President.
Its project development went through rigid stakeholder consultations to ensure that the climate
change capacity needs are well articulated and therefore ownership and sustainability of the
program are properly lodged at the national and institutional levels. The Project is aligned with and
supports directly the National Climate Change Action Plan of the country. A strategy has been
agreed upon by the stakeholders to replicate the project results from the selected sectors of
Transport, Agriculture and Industry to the other sectors under the management and supervision of
the CCC, while also considering results from other related CCC projects and initiatives.
The stakeholder meetings and the context assessment exercise point to the need to prepare the
participants to the climate change program in the light of emerging global conventions and
commitments. This should be balanced with the inherent requirements of the Philippines in
addressing its own national and local climate change-related concerns and sectoral priorities. Each
40
sector has its own unique technical and policy agenda in terms of addressing the key result areas of
the Project vis-à-vis the country’s National Climate Change Action Plan and institutional structures.
The observations and conclusions provided the basis for the formulation of this LECB Project in line
with the Overall LECB Programme.
While this Project focuses on four sectors only (viz., Transportation, Agriculture, Waste and Industry
Sectors), the outcomes will definitively be linked with the national development priorities, processes
and plans as the results of this Project are combined with those of the projects for the other sectors
that are being done in parallel with assistance by other international support arrangements, i.e.
USAID and GIZ. These will be consolidated under the overall management of the Climate Change
Commission in close coordination with the stakeholders. Therefore, the Project will address and
strengthen a number of policy priorities on sustainable management of the very broad area of
climate change while maintaining focus on mitigation measures consistent with the government
policy direction.
The National Framework Strategy on Climate Change, the Climate Change Act of 2009 and other
relevant government issuances that institutionalized the organization and mandate of the Climate
Change Commission will unify various approaches in cooperation with relevant government
agencies and institutions as they gain knowledge and build their capacities in the Project’s key result
areas. The Project’s National Steering Committee will be the venue in which various stakeholders
reach consensus, make decisions and create synergies.
Moreover, the UNDAF and the Country Program Document that also articulate how the UNDP
supports the country’s overall development agenda will serve as additional guide posts (to those
mentioned above) in ensuring the sustainability and replicability of the Project and its outcomes.
The Project has taken the results-based approach to work planning and the review of the work plan
regularly. This work plan serves as a mechanism to link inputs, budget, activities, outputs and
outcomes, which are monitored and evaluated periodically. As lessons are learned, a flexible
approach to implementing the project should accommodate constant adjustments to ensure that
the Project’s outputs and other interventions are credibly linked to the achievement of the desired
outcomes and outputs through the various forms of assistance provided by the Project.

APPENDIX C: VISIBILITY AND OUTREACH UNDER THE LECB PROJECT
CONTEXT
The Low Emission Capacity Building Programme is considered by its donors as an innovative
pathfinder project – allowing national governments to build capacities to plan their own low-
emission development pathways within the context of national circumstances and national
development goals. National teams are in the best position to identify on-the-ground experiences
that can be collated and disseminated.
As such, national LECB project teams are encouraged to program approximately 5% of their budget
for learning, knowledge sharing, communication and outreach activities and materials4. Visibility is a
major criterion from donors for measuring success and national teams are encouraged to develop an
outreach strategy the beginning of the project that is regularly monitored. At times, national teams
may be called upon to provide updates on their project progress for featuring in donor publications.
Required Visibility Products
National Fact Sheet/Case Study
Each national team is expected to prepare a National Factsheet/Case study that can be used at the
national and global levels (via the LECB Programme’s global website, newsletter, and other outreach
tools) to promote national project results and activities.
Lesson Learned/Best Practices Documents
Each national team is expected to produce a lessons learned/best practices document at the
completion of each project component to showcase their results and impacts. The Global Support
Unit will provide guidance on how to develop these best-practice documents, which will also be used
as guidance for other developing countries embarking on a LEDS/NAMA process.
Contributions to LECB Programme newsletter
The Global Support Unit will prepare a quarterly newsletter. National teams are required to
contribute with at least one newsletter article during the life of the project.
Recommended Visibility Products
National web page
National teams are requested to develop a web page or, at minimum, post relevant project activities
on the most appropriate institutional website. The Global Support Unit will link to the national page
from the global programme site, www.lowemissiondevelopment.org, and encourages similar
linkages to the global site wherever programme promotion is featured.
National media reports
National teams are requested to liaise with the communications focal point in the UNDP Country
Office regarding any media produced by or about the project, and to share media reports with the
Global Support Unit for global promotional efforts, including featuring on the programme website,
www.lowemissiondevelopment.org.
4 It is noted that these funds may be embedded in other activities, such as producing a Lessons Learned
document at the end of a project component, or developing a joint webpage with the government ministry
implementing the project and need not appear as a separate budget line or activity.
