CDKN Knowledge accelerator for climate compatible development: Operating costs for capacity building

This operational project will support the implementation of the Knowledge Accelerator for Climate Compatible Development project (#108754) by covering the operational costs including salaries and benefits, travel, and office costs. The Knowledge Accelerator project is funded through a partnership between the Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS) in the Netherlands and the IDRC created in 2018 to a 3 year, joint CA$ 12,120,000 initiative that will be implemented by South South North (SSN), a South African based not-for-profit organization. The Knowledge Accelerator project will consolidate and further grow the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), to broker practical and tailored knowledge on climate and development for its use and application in decision making in the Global South. It aims to create an enabling environment for implementation and scaling of climate and development actions. The country-level work will focus on 9 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean. This desired overall long-term impact of the Knowledge Accelerator programme is for key actors in developing countries, and those working at global and regional levels, to make more robust and informed decisions that enhance climate resilient low carbon development at scale in ways that benefit poor and vulnerable women and men.

The objective of this operational project is to support and assure the delivery of the Knowledge Accelerator programme (#108754) and the organizational development of CDKN. The project covers the operational costs of a full time senior program officer and the travel and office costs associated with that programme’s delivery. The staff member, based in Ottawa, will be responsible for project oversight, capacity support to partners and monitoring.

Climate and development knowledge network : knowledge accelerator for climate compatible development : third annual analytical narrative progress overview - 1 April 2021-31 March 2022

Report

The CDKN Knowledge Accelerator consolidates and further grows a global knowledge and learning network to broker practical and tailored knowledge on climate and development for its use and application in decision making in the Global South. CDKN aims to create an enabling environment for implementation and scaling of climate and development actions. This programme’s desired overall long-term impact is for actors in policy, planning, programming and delivery of climate action at sub-national, national and international levels to interdependently implement gender-responsive and socially equitable climate actions. This report covers the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. During this reporting period alone, CDKN produced 123 outputs, held 56 engagement events and 5 peer learning events. Significant evidence of progress toward medium- and long-term outcomes is included in this report.

Climate and development knowledge network : knowledge accelerator for climate compatible development - 1st annual analytical narrative progress overview

Study

The first year of implementation has seen the development of a suite of 52 outputs. Highlights are a publication campaign dedicated to interpreting the implications of the recent IPCC Special Report for regional audiences in Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well as a Communications Manual, endorsed by the IPCC Secretariat. Twenty-three country-level and global-level engagements have taken place. The report provides a summary of activities in relation to project objectives. The project is progressing toward short term outcomes, with demands for climate and development knowledge network (CDKN)-brokered and managed knowledge from global and local stakeholders.
