Technology Needs Assessments
UNFCCC workshop on Technology Needs Assessments
Bonn, Germany1 - 2 June 2011
Lawrence Agbemabiese, UNEP- DTIE, Paris
Jyoti Prasad Painuly, UNEP Risoe Centre, Denmark
(Funded by GEF under Poznan Strategic Programme on Technology Transfer)
Objectives
• To identify and prioritize through country-driven participatory processes, technologies that can contribute to mitigation and adaptation goals of the participant countries, while meeting their national sustainable development goals and priorities (TNA).
To identify barriers hindering the acquisition, deployment, and diffusion of prioritized technologies.
To develop Technology Action Plans (TAP) specifying activities and enabling frameworks to overcome the barriers and facilitate the transfer, adoption, and diffusion of selected technologies in the participant countries.
• National consensus on priority technologies and agreement on a national action plan, and readiness to implement the action
• Methodologies which complement the revised TNA Handbook and facilitate technology information available to countries.
• Capacity developed through workshops and guidebooks and easy access to technology information.
• Regional networks ensure that support to the countries available in the region for technology information, methodology, preparation of action plan, and a cooperation mechanism to share TNA experiences.
• Increased national and interregional cooperation on technology transfer as a mean to facilitate preparation of TNAs and implementation of TAPs.

Participating Countries
Participating Countries
• Previous TNAs 2000 – onwards• UNDP and UNEP Synthesis (2008) and UNFCCC Workshop, 2007
A good institutional set-up needed
Strengthening national capacity should be a key priority for future
work on technology transfer activities.
Stakeholders role needs to be well defined and involvement
strengthened
Conduct a barrier analysis for the selected/ prioritized
technologies
Implementation of the findings needs to be supported

Country Support Matrix
• Prioritized set of actions to enhance market penetration− Political process ensuring buy in by politicians
• Content Elements of enabling environments considered Responsible actors/institutions Timetable and milestones for implementation Resource requirements
• Financing needs (external, national)• Specific concepts for programme funding through future
technology transfer funding mechanisms can be included in the plan
TAP is not just another report!
Technology Action PlanPrioritized Policy Options
• Workshop 1 Objectives; Build capacity of country teams on:
− Prioritization of technologies
− Stakeholders involvement process
− Tools for prioritization
− Net-working; meeting with Regional Centres, Country teams, URC and
other stakeholders (UNEP, GEF)
Capacity Building Workshops
• Workshop 2 Objectives; Build capacity of country teams on:
− Barriers analysis and enabling framework development
− Tools (market mapping)
− Preparation and contents of TNA and TAP (Template given)
− IPR issues- Overview with special reference to mitigation and
adaptation technologies
− Preliminary results on prioritization were presented by countries.
Capacity Building Workshops
• Basic institutional structures for national consensus building set up and operating in all 1st round countries.
• Capacity building programme has been launched: Regional capacity building workshops implemented in all three
regions for first round countries
• Prioritization of sectors and technologies completed/underway in most 1st round countries. Technology Prioritization draft reports received from six countries. Review and feedback in progress.
• Country consultation and MoU discussions completed in all the second round countries. MoU signed with most of the second round countries also.
• Technology action plans (TAPs) expected starting third quarter 2011.
Status update
• Pace of implementation has picked up in 2nd Round countries due primarily to:− Feedback of lessons from 1st Round experiences leading to
ensure: Better elaborated and more user-friendly documents
covering pre-implementation requirements. More focused stakeholder engagement.
− Stronger government commitment.− Better efficiency of teams in the countries.
