Explanation_Both_components_have_the_potential_to_have_an_impact_on_this,_although_in_a_different_manner._Component_1'>Explanation
Both components have the potential to have an impact on this, although in a different manner.
Component 1 can provide the academic basis for informed policy making and development of policy measures. The level of impact will depend on the
quality and appropriateness of the results (which cannot be assessed yet) and on the level of governmental support which is subject to changes. In such a case
the project does not have any additional stakeholders which could support pushing the government for implementation i.e. civil society groups, business or
others. This can potentially lessen the future impact.
Component 2 has an approach which is more process oriented and focussed on policy development including a broad range of stakeholders on national and
local level. This has the potential to improve capacities at different levels with long term effects, especially as the project has worked with local NGOs
involved in this type of work to increase awareness while by working with MESP. Through this it has improved the capacities of institutions to plan and in
future implement the Climate Change Strategy.
Explanation
Both components have the potential to have an impact on access to climate finance by contributing to the national processes of devising LEDS and/or NAMA
in which the national priorities and proposed projects are developed. Component 2 is contributing more directly through the climate change strategy, while
Component 1 is working on the step before (modelling). Whether this will translate into actual funding in future depends on several factors:
a) Whether the governments take up the work by the project to formulate actual funding applications to an international fund or bilateral donor and
b) For Kosovo to acquire a legal status and become member of the UNFCCC or find an intermediate solution, which seemed to be on the way,
c) For the international community to supply adequate climate finance to fund national NAMAs and LEDS.
This following applies to Component 2. While it is too early to assess any impact, by including adaptation in the National Climate Change Strategy the
intervention made an important step to a) raise political awareness for the need for adaptation and what this means for Kosovo (including the concept of
vulnerability and risk assessments) in a broad range of stakeholders and b) in future implement concrete adaptation projects.
The project has a high potential to contribute to an increase in energy efficiency and renewable energies since they are at the core of the modelling of
Component 1 and the LEDS of Component 2. It has already contributed to building capacities, knowledge and political committment to it. It remains to be
seen how this impact will translate in future into the development of new policies and the implementation of projects in this field. As Component 2 not only
focussed on the governmental level, but also worked with municipalities and local NGOs as well as raising the awareness within local population this
component has built up a broader base to secure its impacts even if the national governmental level of support changes. The impact of the project in this field
will also largely depend on external factors, especially the developments under the UNFCCC regarding a new treaty and the availability of international
climate finance.

General assessment of the intervention
Sources
For the project overall there would be a lack of knowledge and capacity building regarding energy related questions. The national processes around NAMA
and LEDS would be delayed.
For Component 2 there would be lack of knowledge and information on the impacts from climate change and the Strategy for Climate Changes would be
delayed.
Explanation
Explanation
Component 1: Participation and declaration of political support by government officials.
Component 2: Regular participation of main stakeholders in Kosovo like MESP, municipalities, local civil society and community supported the awareness
raising and development of the document/strategy.
Explanation
The potential is high as this area is still underdeveloped and there is a lack of knowledge and institutional capacities to fully implement the strategy. The main
risk for both components is lack of finance to implement the strategy since the implementation has high cost. The risk for component 1 is changing political
committment by national governments. This risk is heavily influenced by the international process around a new climate treaty which will be decided upon in
December 2015.
Component 1: This is too early to assess.
Component 2: Due to financial means the Ministry couldnʹt complete this document so involvement of the project positively contributed to the finalization of
the document and build the capacities of local institutions regarding climate changes and improved access to finance from international organizations/donors.
Explanation
The intervention increased the political will to support and in the case of Kosovo to implement policies on climate change related issues. Due to the fact that
the project is still in early stages and to date there is no funding for implementation available, the impact on the population cannot be measured.
The intervention in general probably changed the attitude of main stakeholders towards climate changes and the impact which these changes can have on
government, population, environment, nature and country.
Still ongoing.
Component 1: Main beneficiaries of the project are consulted and this provides a start for an engagement process which runs through the whole project and
ensures ownership of the project results by these government officials. This has the potential weakness that in case a government changes and the new
government does not support the approach of the project, the project has not established other channels to push for implementation of the results.
Component 2: To ensure the sustainability of the project, it is based on a participative planning process that ensures that all stakeholders are consulted both
on central and local level. In the currently ongoing process of developing the Low Emission Climate Resilient Strategy (LECDRS) the Ministry of Environment
and Spatial Planning and the inter‐ministerial working group for Climate Change have been actively engaged in the development of the framework strategy
which secures the ownership of the strategy and thus enables the implementation of the strategy.
