Tracking climate-related finance in Zambia, Mr. David Kaluba, National Climate Change Secretariat, Ministry of Finance, Zambia (joining by video conference)

1. OECD DAC Task Team Workshop
Partner Country Perspective for Tracking Domestic Climate
and Biodiversity Finance
David Kaluba
May, 2015

2. Outline
 Zambia’s climate change Objective
 Inclusive Green Growth Approach
 Budget Tracking
 Domestic
 International
 Baseline and Early Results – Domestic and
International
 Lessons Learned
 Next Steps

3. Zambia’s Goal
To mainstream climate change into the
most economically and vulnerable
sectors of the economy, in order to
ensure sustainable economic
development towards the attainment of
the country’s Vision 2030 (Become a
Middle Income Country)
7th National Development as the
vehicle for upscaling planning and
measurement of results.

4. Inclusive Green Growth Approach
Strategic Environment Assessment
Economy
•Macro-economics
•Poverty reduction
•Infrastructure
•Agriculture
•ICT, e.t.c
Environment
•Climate change
•Biodiversity
•Pollution control
Social
•Gender
•Education
•Health

5. Inclusive Green Growth Approach
Integration of Low Carbon and Climate Resilient
• Mainstreams climate change adaptation and mitigation into
national plans and strategies;
• Assists communities in highly vulnerable areas to identify and
address their own climate change adaptation and mitigation
options as part of local development plans;
• Incorporates climate resilience into existing community
development funds to ensure their sustainability;
• Invests in highly visible infrastructure as a way to rally public
support for adaptation;
• Builds on partnerships, particularly with private sector and civil
society;
• Relies on the transformative power of communication
technologies;
• Strengthens the institutional foundation for a future climate
change programme in Zambia.

6. BUDGET TRACKING -Objective
Allocations to climate resilient
Programmes increasing by
25%/in real terms for
vulnerable sectors
(agriculture, environment and
natural resources, energy and
water, infrastructure, health
and disaster management) by
2025, relative to 2007-2011
baseline

7. STRATEGIC PROGRAMME FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE -Domestic
Baseline
K’BILLION
Sector 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Agriculture 54.0 68.7 73.5 65.2 23.7
Environment and Natural Resources 40.0 17.4 24.6 23.4 22.4
Energy and Water 14.7 16.0 10.9 15.9 15.6

Disaster Management 4.0 3.7 3.6 2.4 35.81
TOTAL Above Sectors 115.5 126.0 114.2 111.7 101.4
By the conclusion of the SPCR ( or 2025), Zambia aims to increase allocations to climate-
resilient programmes by 25% in real terms
Real term allocations to climate-resilient programmes (2007-2011)-7 % rise on average

9. International – Comparative Baseline
 OECD, Green Growth papers, Green Development
Cooperation in Zambia, December 2014
 Total Green bilateral ODA committed by the members
of the OECD DAC reached 30% of the total ODA
commitments to the country over 2010-2012 (USD 230
million) up from 6% of total bilateral ODA
commitments over 2004-2006 (USD90 million).
 Environment USD 133.4 million
 Biodiversity USD 18.9 million
 Desertification USD 12.8 million
 Climate Change Mitigation USD 76.8 million
 Climate Change Adaptation USD 65.8 million

10. Challenges
 Structure of the Domestic Budget makes little
recognition of climate finance. As such it is hard to tell
specific items relating to climate change finance;
 Tracking the Budget alone is inadequate – need for
mechanism to verify the actual expenditures and
outcomes to measure the outcomes against indicators;
 Government structural complexity limits access to
sources of data-large number of players involved;
 No specific mechanism to track international follows –
ICCS mechanism could help reduce challenge

11. Next Steps: Further Studies
 Analyze and track sector programme budgets and expenditures related to
climate change in the 2013 and 2014 national budgets;
 Review and update the tracking tool already designed for consistency in
allocations and assess the adequacy of the tracking tool and recommend
improvements;
 Review the allocations to the various sectors and provinces and look at the flow
of resources, how they are disbursed and if they are spent as planned;
 Engage key stakeholders to identify the key issues, determine the structure of
resource flows and the institutional setup, review data availability and choose
appropriate survey tool; and
 To provide information and wider understanding that will inform discussions
and decisions at national level in relation to improving and streamlining access
to climate change resources.
 Recommend an information management system that will enhance tracking of
resources towards climate change programmes across sectors, provinces and
districts

 Thank you very much!!

13. Budget Tracking
 What definitions are being used in-country to track
climate change mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity
activities?
 How are climate- and/or biodiversity-related activities
identified in national, sub-national and sectoral
budgets? What methodologies and approaches are
used?
 What are the challenges experienced in tracking
climate- and biodiversity-related finance?
