Posiiton Number 00167091 (Bagerhat) 00167092 (Barguna) 203991(Bandarban) 203990 (Rangamati) The Local Government Initiative on Climate Change (LOGIC) is a joint project of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) supported by the European Union and SIDA. LOGIC will promote local action on climate change adaptation at scale. Bangladesh is ranked 5th among the 10 countries of the world most affected by climate change and disasters. It is experiencing change in weather patterns and in the occurrence of extreme events like cyclones and floods and rising of sea levels. These events exacerbate poverty and vulnerability of people on a regular basis The Government of Bangladesh recognises the severity of climate change and is working to mainstream related concerns into the national development policy planning and financing. However in the absence of a specific climate change policy this sector is served by a number of sectoral policies which also shape the expenditure pattern in the national budget. While the local government institutions (LGIs) are mandated to implement many actions related to climate effects these actions do not figure in the local plans as climate proofing initiatives. Moreover the local planning process does not adequately engage communities and vulnerable people to reflect their needs and demands. LOGIC project will enhance the capacity of local government institutions vulnerable communities and civil society organisations for effective and inclusive local level planning and financing climate change adaptation solutions in selected climate vulnerable areas. LOGIC has established two financing mechanisms at the Union level: a Performance-Based Climate Grant and a Community Resilience Fund. By achieving its objectives and results the project will contribute to the reduction of poverty and vulnerability in Bangladesh. Specifically the intervention aims at achieving the following objectives: * To strengthen the capacity of local governments households and other local stakeholders to develop local plans that integrate climate change adaptation measures and disaster risk management. * To establish a financing mechanism to fund local governments and communities for implementing climate change adaptation measures. * To produce information and evidence to feed further improvements in policies and practices for UPs and national systems in relation to climate change adaptation. Even though local government bodies are well situated to incorporate a wide scope of people’s participation the fiduciary risks at LGIs are diverse and quite common but preventable and controllable. The issue of ensuring accountability and transparency of government finances is a core problem at the local level. Various factors are responsible for fiduciary risks at local level two most common risks are selection of beneficiary households and selection of local infrastructural and public work schemes. A large portion of money goes to LGIs for community level schemes and often a few irregularities are observed: * Selection of schemes from a location which will benefit the elites and elected members. * Select a less important schemes which will benefit less number of people but benefit the elected members. * Implement the schemes in a controversial land so after the project elected UP representative can claim the customary rights of the schemes. * Use of schemes to co-benefit an elite person (i.e. a private pond re-excavated for drinking water for the neighborhood). * Dual count of the same scheme (i.e. a scheme developed by the project can be shown as scheme of ongoing GoB scheme). * Over-budgeting of the cost of the scheme. * Manipulation of the amount of work done in schemes. * Over vouchering the goods and services increase number of days of manual work manipulating signatures and others. * Using scheme labours and equipment for personal work (i.e. a labour is used for someone’s own domestic or agricultural works) * Select schemes with high environmental concerns just to punish an opponent persons. * Certification of poor quality work as good quality work LoGIC receives two types of grants contributions: Performance-based climate Resilient Grant is a performance-based grant to address the broader community level initiatives. This is essentially a top up climate grants to a development initiative to make the rural infrastructure climate resilient. Controls LoGIC intend to establish and put in place specific mechanisms to ensure the Internal Control Framework and its accountability once the funds reach the UP special accounts. Those mechanisms of different activities undertaken can be clustered under three broad categories: * Preventive controls that protect against risks before they happen; * Detective controls that identify risk incidences soon after they occur; * Special controls that deter risks of non-compliance and misconduct Duties And Responsibilities The District Climate Finance Associate (DCFA) would be responsible for the following key functions: * Local Level Advocacy: Local level advocacy on climate change issues with district administration Upazila Administration Union Parishad Civil Society NGOs/CSO and other stakeholders on the ground. * Fund Request & Financial Report: Quarterly financial report of NIM funds transferred to DDLG account along with fund request. * Programme assessment and monitoring: Report in MIS and ATM Software; collection of programme data from the field and development of quarterly monitoring report of the district; Community Risk Assessment (CRA) conduction/facilitation Facilitation of developing Risk Reduction Action Plan (RRAP) Climate Adaptive Local Development Plan (LDP) Feasibility Study. * Financial monitoring: Monitor book keeping and reporting system in place in UPs to prevent financial risks and irregularities particularly for utilization of block grants.
