Methodology
The authors circulated a questionnaire to National Designated Entities
(NDEs) and National Focal Points, generating 28 responses from 23 of
the 47 Least Developed Countries.
• Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, CAR,
Comoros, DRC, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Lesotho, Liberia,
Mauritania, Nepal, Rwanda, Solomon Islands, South Sudan, Sudan,
Timor Leste, Yemen and Zambia
The paper presents these responses on how LDCs are currently using
technology initiatives and programmes. It aims to better understand the
barriers and challenges LDCs face in implementing technology
development and transfer. And explores what changes to existing
technology and financial institutions could lessen these barriers and
challenges.
The following slides highlight a selection of findings relevant to the CTCN.

National capacity
Proposals for the CTCN:
• Use innovative ways to engage NDEs and Parties to address their
capacity building needs and gaps – eg by teaming up with UNITAR
to deliver training programmes.
• Work closely with the LEG to strengthen national capacity and
support LDCs to develop NAPs.
Question: What is your country’s national capacity to pursue climate
technology priorities?

Familiarity with the CTCN
Proposals for the CTCN:
• Continue raising awareness about the CTCN’s work and functions, including the LDC
incubator programme. The LEG and other UNFCCC bodies, particularly those that
regularly interact with the LDCS, can help with this effort.
• Regularly interact with LDC NDEs.
Question: How familiar are you with the training sessions offered by the CTCN
and the CTCN incubator programme?
Responses:

Accessing finance
Proposals for the CTCN:
• Prioritise providing support to those LDCs that have not yet accessed CTCN
assistance, particularly through the incubator programme.
• Continue working closely with financial institutions, particularly the GCF, in order
to help countries access readiness support to prepare proposals for technology
projects.
• Work with the GCF, GEF and TEC to help countries access finance for
technology development and transfer activities.
Question: What is your country’s national capacity to access international support for
technology development and transfer?
