The module "Participatory Local Governance" aims at improving the performance of the Pakistani state in terms of service delivery and citizen participation. The module objective is defined as: Service delivery capacities of local authorities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab regions meet local needs and priorities. The participatory local governance (PLG) programme supports partners in three interrelated areas: - Output 1 supports the improvement of the capacity of state and elected representatives to provide local services, taking into account the needs of vulnerable groups. - Output 2 provides support to the human resource capacity development of local governments for local revenue generation and digital financial management - Output 3 aims to ensure that local authorities take into account citizens' needs and priorities for service delivery through the use of participatory, digital and SDG-oriented decision-making processes. Background: Fundamental deficiencies in Pakistan's public administration contribute to the shortages in local service delivery. There is a political consensus on raising local revenues. However, since there is no historical experience of a correlation between local government revenue raising and public service improvement, the low level of confidence in the performance of public institutions among broad sections of the population means that necessary steps to increase government revenues are being met with great resistance. Pakistan has a very low tax-to-GDP ratio - in fiscal year 2019/20, the ratio of taxes to GDP was 11.4% compared to an OECD average of 34.3%. In this regard, there is untapped potential for revenue generation at the local and provincial levels. There is a political commitment to the digitalization of administration and services. Output 2 aims to improve the human resource capacity of KP province and local governments for local revenue generation and digital financial management. The impact hypothesis is that the improved human resource capacity, which includes the use of a digital financial data information management systems, will lead to an increase in local government revenues in the medium term. The increased financial leeway will be used by local governments to improve and expand local service delivery, thereby benefiting vulnerable groups (module objective). The assumption is that Pakistan's macroeconomic situation will remain stable, allowing for an increase in public revenues. Tasks by the contractor: PLG plans to hire a contractor to provide technical advisory services under Output 2 to partners and to carry out two work packages in close coordination with the project. The services to be tendered out concern the intervention area of strengthening local public revenue generation and administration as one key ingredient of improving local governance. 1: Expert Advice regarding Revenue Mobilisation for Local Governance The work package comprises of expert advice in the area of revenue and good financial governance geared to support the local administration and its reforms in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. A current focus of the advisory services is own source revenue on tehsil level (sub-district) and property taxation on provincial level. 2: Expert Advice regarding Digitalisation of Local Administration The work package comprises expert advice regarding the digitalisation of local administration in order to support the digital transformation reform processes with a focus on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A current emphasis of the advisory services is the digitalisation of internal processes (e. g. Financial Records and Information Management System).

This Readiness project is part of an ongoing effort to further the complementarity and coherence between the Adaptation Fund (AF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through the Community of Practice for Direct Access Entities (CPDAE). The AF and the GCF have been promoting Direct Access Modality as a best practice approach to enhance country ownership of climate projects and ensure that developing countries remain in the driving seat of climate finance. In that regard, the AF"s National Implementing Entities (NIEs) and the GCF"s Direct Access Entities (DAEs) are important to promote country ownership and understanding national priorities and contributions towards low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways. Moreover, the GCF and AF secretariats have jointly agreed to support NIEs and DAEs to increase their effectiveness in accessing climate finance resources and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs by providing an avenue for knowledge exchange, learning and experience sharing, collaboration and peer-to-peer support through the CPDAE. As one of the key activities under the Knowledge Management & Capacity Building pillar of the 2019-2021 Climate Funds Collaboration Roadmap, the CPDAE Readiness was recognized as an important milestone delivering climate action through DAEs. Supporting the CPDAE initiative is also part of broader efforts to enhance the complementarity and coherence between the GCF and the AF. The CPDAE, a network composed of NIEs and DAEs, led and driven by its own members with an elected committee that coordinates its work, has made significant efforts in structuring its governance framework since its creation in 2019. These efforts include the establishment of its first elected committee; the adoption of a Charter of Governance as part of its governance framework, laying down initial ground rules and expectations, defining the purpose of the CPDAE"s existence, providing a first glance of the roles and responsibilities of different actors (CPDAE committee, CPDAE members, Funders (GCF, AF)); and the development of an Action Plan. Nevertheless, the CPDAE is still at an early stage and there are several gaps that hinder its full operationalization and the optimal performance of its members. These include: i. Lack of specific features in the existing governance framework and limited communication and outreach mechanisms; ii. Absence of a strategic framework and implementation roadmaps adapted to each language group from the CPDAE (English, Spanish and French) and a M&E framework; iii. Lack of appropriate and dedicated materials and platform for knowledge management and lessons sharing within the CPDAE and key stakeholders (NDAs, AF, GCF, other); iv. Insufficient in-house capacities of the entities for projects design, development, implementation and evaluation, as well as for re-accreditation/accreditation upgrade process; v. Difficulties for identifying and manage high quality experts to support project design and development. In that sense, the aim of this Readiness is to strengthen the CPDAE at an institutional level, and the capacity of its members to perform better and access climate finance and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs efficiently. This will be done by strengthening the CPDAE governance framework and communication and outreach mechanisms; building the capacity of CPDAE members on various technical issues that would allow them to address the above-mentioned gaps and deliver on their mandate; and by improving the understanding of CPDAE members of the re-accreditation/accreditation upgrade processes. This Readiness will also support the preparation of a pipeline of projects for CPDAE members and/or the improvement of existing concept notes (CNs), in coordination with their respective NDAs, and the design of adequate knowledge and lesson-sharing materials for CPDAE members to better perform their duties as DAEs and NIEs.

Following a holistic approach, ProUSAR in Colombia focuses on strengthening and spurring the innovative power of the private sector during their ongoing transition from a linear waste management to a resource- and climate-friendly circular economy, whilst implementing exemplary measures along three preselected value chains. To further strengthen content-related focus of the national recycling strategy and the supportive framework conditions for enterprises to implement recycling-oriented economic processes, the project contributes to the overall improvement and coherence of waste management and resource efficiency in Colombia. The ProUSAR project objective is to strengthen the innovation potential of the private sector for the implementation of a resource- and climate-friendly circular economy. Implementing partners are the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, MinAmbiente) and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (Ministerio de Comercio, Industria y Turismo, MinComercio). The project runs from 10/2021 until 06/2025. The target group (intermediaries) of the project includes specialists and managers (approx. 150) from enterprises relevant for the three pre-selected economic sectors which are Textile, Home Appliances as well as Wrapping and Packaging (focusing on plastic). The intermediaries should be involved in the initiation and implementation of measures with high resource efficiency potential, as well as specialists and managers (approx. 50) from the national business association (Asociación Nacional de Empresarios de Colombia, ANDI) and other chambers of commerce, which are generally organized on a sectoral basis. Intermediaries from the public sector are mainly professionals and managers (about 30-40) from those ministries and agencies involved in the implementation of the circular economy strategy. These include, in particular, the Ministries of Environment and Sustainable Development MinAmbiente and Min-Comercio, as well as other relevant ministries (Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation). The project has three output areas: Output 1: The coordination of goals, instruments, and procedures for implementing a circular economy orientation in selected sectors of the private sector is improved. Output 2: Companies from selected sectors have initiated the implementation of innovative and bankable concepts for a resource- and climate-friendly circular economy. Output 3: Knowledge about sustainable production and consumption patterns in the context of the circular economy has been strengthened.

Togo is one of the least developed countries. The country's socio-economic situation is precarious despite progress in the following areas: i) poverty reduction (48.2% in 2014 to 37.6% in 2017); ii) improvement of the human rights situation from 2006 (BTI 2022); iii) the reduction in the gender gap according to the global report (105th out of 156 states in 2021, and improvement of 25 points compared to the previous year) with the number of female civil servants representing 19.3% of the workforce; and iv) a 12% increase in the tax revenue forecast between 2022 and 2023 by the Togolese Revenue Office (Office Togolais des Recettes - OTR). In terms of government effectiveness (WGI), Togo has improved from 8.06/100 in 2012 to 25/100 in 2021 to reach the average level for sub-Saharan Africa (26.39/100). Corruption has also decreased slightly according to Transparency International (from 45/100 in 2012 to 43/100 in 2020). The improvement of all these situations requires the necessary reforms to strengthen good governance in public finances and the fight against corruption with a view to economic growth and job creation through public and private investment and digitalization, which is one of the major challenges of the government's 2025 roadmap. In June 2021, a new and particularly ambitious form of cooperation was adopted through the signing of the German-Togolese Partnership for Reform. Since 2018, Togo has joined the 12 countries that have signed up to the "Compact with Africa" initiative, launched under the German presidency of the G20 summit. In this framework, the Togolese government has committed to implementing macroeconomic and policy reforms to strengthen the framework conditions for increased private investment, sustainable economic development, and employment promotion. This objective is reaffirmed in the government's roadmap for Togo 2020-2025. It is within this framework that the project called "Good Financial Governance" (GFG), was set up in July 2022 and is based on three areas of intervention: 1. monitoring the government's reform program; 2. tax policy and risk management of the tax system ; 3. capacity building in public financial control institutions. This project aims to contribute to the promotion and improvement of public finance management about the steering of reforms, the mobilization of own resources, the control of economic efficiency and the conformity of their use. This program is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under the supervising of The Ministry of Development Planning and Cooperation (Ministére de la Planification du Development et de la Cooperation -MPDC ).

The Southern African region is projected to experience significantly higher temperatures and an increase in extreme weather events such as droughts, floods and heat waves due to climate change. It is estimated that by 2100, the region will receive up to 30% less rainfall and upward trends of temperature culminating in more than 30C rise. This will likely lead to a sharp decline in water for cropping, livestock, wildlife and vegetation, and reduced productivity of various resource-based land uses. Intact ecosystems and their supporting wildlife play a major role in promoting rural economic development, the livelihoods of adjacent local populations and the nature-based tourism sector. To conserve natural ecosystems that transcend national boundaries and make an important contribution to biodiversity conservation as well as livelihood security, socio-economic development of rural communities and tourism, SADC supports the establishment and management of Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs). TFCAs provide important political, social and economic leverage for the integration of the region. SADC is home to 18 TFCAs in various stages of development, covering more than one million square kilometres. The adoption of the regional TFCA programme (2013) by the SADC Council of Ministers and the creation of a SADC TFCA Network in 2013 considerably improved institutional conditions and activities at the regional and cross-national level. The adoption of the SADC Tourism Programme 2020-2030 and the associated COVID-19 sensitive Costed Action Plan forms the framework for the future development of nature-based tourism as important income earner for TFCAs. Countries sharing TFCAs began to establish transnational administrative bodies and initiated cross border activities, including developing TFCAs into important and attractive tourism destinations. For many years, TFCA development has been a major focus of cooperation between SADC and Germany. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Develoopment (BMZ) through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the SADC Food Agriculture and Natural Resources (FANR) Directorate through the SADC/GIZ Climate Resilience and Natural Resource Management in the SADC region (C-NRM) Programme. The C-NRM project supports SADC toward ensuring that climate change is systematically taken into account in the transboundary management of natural resources. The project strategy covers four outputs, which are implemented at the international, regional, national and local levels: 1. At the regional level, the project is improving the strategic planning framework for taking climate change into account in the cross-border management of natural resources. It analyses the risks of climate change and of mitigation measures and supports access to funding. 2. The project promotes knowledge sharing on climate-sensitive transboundary natural resource management locally, regionally and nationally. To do so, it deploys knowledge platforms and networks and makes greater use of digital formats. 3. At the local level, the project works together with municipalities to implement climate-smart agriculture and resource management measures in selected TFCAs 4. The project provides support for the tourism sector in the region and in international forums to offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is harmonising COVID-19 standards, strengthening marketing and facilitating cross-border travel, specifically in TFCAs.
