CRGG Training and Capacity Building for Climate Action

Building on these strengths and experience, and at the request of GGGI member countries PNG and Australia, GGGI has developed this project proposal to support PNG to provide professional training on CRGG for CCDA staff and civil servants from other priority government agencies important to climate-resilient green growth. Outcome: CCDA and government agencies at national and provincial levels have increased capacity to lead the country in promoting climate resilience, low carbon growth and sustainable development through a targeted group of trained professionals on climate resilience and green growth. End of Project indicator/target: At the end of the one-year program, an in-depth on the job policy development training will have been provided to at least 125 staff of CCDA and several other CRGG relevant sector agencies. Approach The activities will mainly focus on skills development of CCDA and government agencies in their efforts to strengthen their decision-making process, coordination across sectors and planning for climate change at national, local, and global level. GGGI adds value to reach more beneficiaries in the national and provincial government due to its expanded capacity building approach that includes: • Intensive courses for key decision makers in CCDA and key line ministries • A mentoring program to provide on the job training to CCDA and other mid-level professionals on project preparation • A fellowship program to foment both knowledge creation and sustainability on green growth policy programming and support These courses are based on a skills development approach that addresses the needs of CCDA and government officials and imparts measurably stronger CRGG planning and implementation capacity by the project conclusion. These training activities will be complemented with a specific training to maximize PNG government presence at global fora including Conference of the Parties under UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
