Peru

• NDC Cluster organisations with ongoing project activities (GIZ, UNDP) have held two calls to inform each other about planned activities. There is close coordination among the staff based in Peru.
• Both organisations provide support related to stakeholder engagement and coordination of the Multi-Sectorial Working Group (GTM), which was established to guide the implementation of the NDC in key sectors.
• GIZ provides support to the Ministerio del Ambiente (MINAM) in coordinating amongst implementing partners and donors and in developing a capacity building plan. This includes the systematisation of current international cooperation activities to identify 1) which organisations are currently supporting NDC implementation in Peru, 2) which topics/areas are covered, and 3) which additional services could be provided by donors and partners tailored to the needs of MINAM and the Multi-Sectoral Working Group.The systematisation of current international cooperation, gaps and opportunities is being jointly supported by the SPA Project and NDC Assist ‑ Contributing to the NDC Partnership (BMZ).
• An initial workshop with the Mesa Verde, an existing donor coordination forum, took place in early August. The workshop set a base line to improve donor coordination. It was also supported by PNUD and GIZ via the SPA Project and NDC Assist.
• UNDP, as per request, hired technical consultants for three ministries to assist them in the elaboration of road maps for transportation, forestry, agriculture and housing/sanitation. The road maps identify and prioritise one mitigation action each, and include an analysis of emission reductions, financial feasibility, financial mechanisms, legal instruments, co-benefits, and institutional arrangements as well as an implementation schedule.
• In addition, UNDP will provide support to establish a tracking system for public and private climate finance and has already started conversations with the National Center of Strategic Planning (CEPLAN) and the Ministry of Economy.
• On February 2018, the MINAM and sectors conforming the GTM met with at nearly 40 organizations for international cooperation and NGOs. The main objective was to establish alliances in order to support the NDCs implementation in the country, based on each sector’s own need’s assessment. Transversal approaches, especially gender equality and interculturality, are included in the support agreements. The meeting is seen as a milestone in the articulation of national and international agendas on climate change. The event’s organisation was supported by GIZ, UNDP and the Support Unit of the NDC Partnership.
