The general objective of the assignment is to support the enabling and the scaling-up of technology transfer through policy, institutional and organizational reforms. It will seek to enhance the enabling environment for climate change technology transfer, which is one of the main constraints in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries.
The project consists of advisory services and capacity building to address barriers related to technology transfer, complementing existing instruments by operating as much as feasible further upstream in identification of needs, early stage advisory and formulation of requests so as to pave the way for mobilization of financing from these instruments. It will be implemented as a demand-driven, flexible and readily deployed technical assistance facility, with the subcomponent mitigation.
The aim of the mitigation subcomponent is to support countries adopt pro-climate policies, provide incentives for investors, and to mainstream climate change mitigation technologies into key sector policies and regulations related to energy. This will create an enabling environment for catalysing investments in climate resilient development in the energy sector.
