Lessons learnt Lessons learnt Recommendations Lessons learnt for this TA. Describe essential factors contributing to successful implementation, as well as specific challenges. Recommendations include considerations on what would need to be in place for increasing success of similar efforts (i.e. regulatory, legal, stakeholders, communication, etc.) High engagement and relatively high awareness of civil society in climate change related issues. The main discussions evolved around the question of how climate change should and can be entrenched in NGO activities.

The establishment of the Climate Change Task Team was the first step to enhance the communication. Lessons learnt related to climate technology transfer Describe opportunities, challenges and barriers for the use and deployment of the technology or technologies supported by the TA. The objective is to identify specific success factors for technology transfer There was an interest in many of the presented climate change related technologies, however, participants were not aware of these technologies in the first place and didn’t know how to access and adopt them. Funding for the technologies was a struggle frequently mentioned in accessing and adopting new technologies. Major barriers and challenges associated with the technologies presented during the workshop are a low awareness and unfamiliarity. Training on specific technologies and pilot studies would help to demonstrate the value and educate interested participants. Some of the technologies presented (e.g. renewable energy) require substantial upfront investments which civil society cannot cover. Increasing international funding and increasing availability of affordable domestic funding is needed to ensure sufficient access to finance. Pilot studies of technologies in cooperation with (domestic) banks could help in familiarizing the banks with the technologies and hence reduced the perceived risks associated which leads to more favourable interest rates.
