69 is important to look at the Bank’s role in Africa and climate change, as well as CCAP2’s vision, activities, and scope. Vision and areas of activity under CCAP2 From page 2 of CCAP2: “The Strategic Vision of the Bank’s Second Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP2) foresees an African continent that is less vulnerable to climate change and develops in a low-carbon manner.” According to CCAP2, the vision is to be achieved by: • Supporting the implementation of the NDCs in Africa by helping African countries define and achieve their commitments to adaptation and mitigation whilst also fulfilling their development objectives • Scaling up levels of climate finance accessed and channelled to African countries from both public and private sources. CCAP2’s implementation was also supported by the new Development and Business Delivery Model (DBDM). Through the deployment of resources under the DBDM: • The Bank would ensure that all future projects indicate whether and how they address adaptation and mitigation; • Provide for regular monitoring and tracking of climate—as well as development-related benefits; and • Ensure the Bank’s overall progress in advancing Africa’s climate change agenda. The activities under the CCAP2 are organized along four main pillars: 1. Adaptation and climate-resilient development 2. Mitigation and low-carbon development 3. Financial resource mobilization; and 4. Enabling environment, including cross-cutting issues. Cross-cutting issues addressed under enabling environment include: policies and institutional reforms, capacity development, technology development and transfer, and creation of partnerships and networks. Climate-resilient and low-carbon development are linked to the Bank’s High 5s. Through the implementation of the CCAP2 and the mainstreaming of climate change and green growth into the individual High 5 strategies, CCAP2 is expected to deliver the following: • Light up and Power Africa investments would account for 22% of climate finance per year by 2020 • Feed Africa investments would contribute 6% of climate finance per year by 2020 • Industrialize Africa would contribute 3% of climate finance per year by 2020 • Integrate Africa would contribute 1% of climate finance per year by 2020 • Improve the Quality of Life for People of Africa would contribute 8% of climate finance per year by 2020. As such, CCAP2 has a clear vision, processes, and expectations against which it is possible to evaluate progress. Scope of evaluation This completion report addresses the Bank as a whole, as it is responsible for delivery of the CCAP2. However, the Climate Change and Green Growth Department (PECG) is critical to the delivery of the CCAP2, especially when it comes to providing advice and guidance on projects being considered, knowledge generation, or even answering queries from other divisions or from stakeholders outside the Bank. Outline of evaluation The evaluation addresses CCAP2’s four pillars and the Bank’s Results Measurement Framework (RMF) levels 1 to 4. Level 1 addresses the question of what development progress is Africa making. These are interests on which the Bank only has an indirect influence. Level 2 addresses the Bank’s development impacts and the influence it has on climate change and development in Africa. Level 3 addresses operational effectiveness and Level 4 addresses institutional efficiency, including issues of internal capacity. The Bank has “control” over Levels 3 and 4 as these levels involve processes, internal capacity, and the projects selected and supported by the Bank. Adaptation and climate resilient development Introduction Africans have contributed the least to atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and climate change but will be impacted more than most from other parts of the world. Hence adaptation is very important. The purpose of adaptation is to enhance climate resilience, for example by limiting exposure to climate and related hazards or limiting vulnerability through improved development.
