Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) - Capacity Needs Assessment Lead Expert - Industry

The Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has initiated the Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) initiative to protect the country from the adverse effects of climate change and to build a green economy that will help realize its ambition of reaching middle income status before 2025.” Ethiopia’s vision is to achieve middle-income status by 2025 in a climate-resilient green Economy. According CRGE document, reaching this goal will require boosting agricultural productivity, strengthening the industrial base, and fostering export growth.
 
The green economy plan is based on among other leapfrogging to modern and energy-efficient technologies in transport, industrial sectors, and buildings. The Green Economy pillar of the CRGE has been completed. It has seven sectors that offer the highest greenhouse gas abatement potential including industry. Climate resilience strategy is under formulation, with agriculture sector being the first generation of the resilience plan. It is anticipated that the green growth path will enable Ethiopia to avoid emission of over 250 megatonne of CO2.The growth and transformation plan (GTP) aims at increasing the share of the industry sector contribution to the economy. The Ethiopian industrial development strategy focus on eight  industry sectors –namely the sugarcane and sugar related, lather and tannery, garment and textile, agro-processing, cement, chemicals and metal and engineering, and pharmaceuticals. In the GTP period, the industrial sector will receive the highest level of support for export oriented and import substitution industries. It is anticipated that in medium and long-term, the industrial sector will emerge as the main sector.  Vision of the Green economy, therefore, will depend on the extent to which the industrial sector development strategy is aligned with the climate resilient green economy strategy.
 
It is increasingly recognized that effective climate change response also, hinges, among other, on effective policy, effective planning and implementation at various scales, considerable financing, broad based participation of major actors, strengthen scientific and technological capacity, leadership and coordination. In the course of transition to the inclusive low emission climate resilient green economy development strategy, which is the CRGE for Ethiopia, good policy and plans are reinforced, supportive policy and plans are adopted, technical tools and standards are revised, human, institutional and systemic capacity are systematical and sequentially developed.
 
The course of transition to inclusive, low emission climate resilient green economy, capacity development is an essential aspect considerable investment. Capacity development involves investment in capacities of individuals, organizations and system to transform and implement the identified CRGE strategies into actions.
 
UNDP’s Approach to Capacity Development:
 
Various scopes and interpretations exist regarding capacity development. According to UNDP,   CapacityDevelopment focus on empowering and strengthening endogenous Capabilities, Makes the most of local resources – people, skills, technologies, institutions – and builds on these;   Favors sustainable change; Takes an inclusive approach in addressing issues of power inequality in relations between rich and poor, mainstream and marginalized (countries, groups and individuals); Emphasizes deep, lasting transformations through policy and institutional reforms and Values ‘best fit’ for the context over ‘best practice’ as one size does not fit all.
 
According to UNDP approach, Capacity development involve three levels – the enabling environment/systemic; organizational/institutional, and individual. 
  • The enabling environment: is the broad social system within which people and organizations function. It includes all the rules, laws, policies, power relations and social norms that govern civic engagement. It is the enabling environment that sets the overall scope for capacity development.
  • The organizational level: refers to the internal structure, policies and procedures that determine an organization’s effectiveness. It is here that the benefits of the enabling environment are put into action and a collection of individuals come together.
  • The individual level: are the skills, experience and knowledge that allow each person to perform. Some of these are acquired formally, through education and training, while others come informally, through doing and observing. Accesses to resources and experiences that can develop individual capacity are largely shaped by the organizational and environmental factors described above, which in turn are influenced by the degree of capacity development in each individual.
A capacity assessment, therefore, provides a comprehensive perspective on the capacities against existing capacities critical to achieving the CRGEs vision and objectives.
