9 June 2008

Outline of Presentation

• Overview of Programmatic Approach applied by ADB

• Examples of ADB’s Use of the Approach

• GMS – CEP/BCI

• Coral Triangle Initiative

• Lessons: Poverty reduction, environmental management, partnerships

A GEF Programmatic Approach Case Study

ADB/GEF Southeast Asian Subproject

ADB/GEFPacific Subproject

ADB/GEF Subprojects Already Identified

The Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) and the

GEF Pacific Alliance for Sustainability (PAS):

Geographic Program Areas

GEF-PAS

CTI

ADB/GEF CTI-Pacific

GEF CTI Rational and Elements:Coastal & Marine Resources Mgt.

• Rationale• Socio-economics: Fisheries, tourism, livelihoods, culture• Degradation: Obvious and accellerating loss of resources• Approach: Needs long-term/systematic effort, high

resources• Regional: Some issues need cooperation to address• Global: Many benefits – opportunity to tap external financing

• Key Elements• Countries (6): Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines,

Malaysia, Solomons, Timor Leste + Pacific sphere of influence• Content: Economic base (fisheries, tourism, food security),

seascapes management, including protected areas• Partners: ADB & GEF (2), US & Australia (2), CI, TNC, WWF

(3)• ADB, GEF & CTI: Development & environmental partner,

financing facilitator & lead GEF agency

Coral Triangle Initiative: GEF Program

• Activities Defined for Council • Coordination/support (ADB): CTI in IW:Learn• Fisheries (UNDP/FAO): SCS, ATSEA, WPEAOF• Integrated efforts (ADB): Southeast Asia; Pacific (PAS)

• Activities Described in Short Concept Papers• Ridge to reef management in Philippines (ADB)• Community protected areas management (WB/ADB)• ACT – CTI Climate change adaptation (ADB/UNDP)• Bycatch management (FAO)

CTI Development and the GEF Programming Cycle

• Dec 2007: SOM-1 – CTI agenda & commitments• Jan-Feb 2008: Program and project concepts

developed• March 2008: Concepts approved by GEF Secretariat• April 2008: Program & PIFs presented to GEF Council• May 2008-April 2009: Subprojects preparation• September 2008: SOM-2 – CTI Action Plan• March 2009: Subprojects for GEF CEO endorsement• May 2009: Subprojects endorsed by GEF CEO (CTI

Summit)• June 2009-April 2013: Program/subproject

implementation• July 2010-Dec 2010: GEF-5 CTI design• November 2011: Target date for start of GEF-5 CTI

CTI Program Planning Schedule

• Coordination and Senior Officials Meetings•Bali 12/07 – SOM1•Jakarta 5/08 – CCC1•Honiara 7/08 – CCC2•Manila 9/08 – SOM2•PNG 3/09? – SOM3

• Ministerial/Summit•Ministers 11/08•Manado WOC 5/09

Programmatic Approach at GEF Main Rules

• Council reviews/approves “Program Framework Document” (PFD) covering objectives and scope

• Funding time frame must be given, and cannot exceed replenishment period, though vision may extend beyond

• A resource envelope for the program is approved, but financial commitment still through individual PIFs

• Any or all PIFs under the program may be simultaneously presented and approved with the PFD

• PIFs not submitted with PFD must be approved by Council within 1 year thereafter

• MSPs can be brought to CEO only after PFD is approved

Types of Programs• National – Single and Multi-Focal Area• Regional/Global – Single and Multi-focal Area
