Beteiligung am Multi-Donor Trust Fund Participation in the Multi-Donor Fund Um die Interamerikanische Entwicklungsbank (IDB) beim Auf- und Ausbau ihrer Aktivitäten in Lateinamerika und der Karibik (LAK) im Bereich Klimawandel zu unterstützen, wurde im Jahr 2007 die Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Initiative (SECCI) mit intensiver Unterstützung des BMZ gegründet. SECCIs Ziel besteht darin, der Klimathematik innerhalb der IDB geschäftspolitisches Gewicht zu verleihen und das Kreditvolumen von Projekten und Programmen zur Vermeidung des Klimawandels und zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel (Mitigation und Adaption) innerhalb des IDB-Portfolios deutlich zu erhöhen. Der geplante FZ-Beitrag sieht eine Weiterführung und Ausweitung der bisherigen Finanziellen Zusammenarbeit (FZ) zwischen SECCI und der deutschen FZ um weitere 7 Mio. EUR (FZ-Zuschuss) vor. Im Gegensatz zu den bisherigen zwei Phasen des FZ-Engagements bei SECCI stehen hierfür nun keine SFF-Mittel mehr zur Verfügung und das FZ-Volumen über 7 Mio. EUR stammt aus einer herkömmlichen BMZ-Zusage. Neben der Finanzierung von drei Consultants (Externally Funded Contractuals - EFCs) zur Unterstützung der Vorbereitung und Implementierung von Investitionsvorhaben in LAK sollen Studien- und Beratungsmaßnahmen v.a. zur Identifizierung, Aufbereitung und Begleitung von investiven Projekten und Programmen sowie Investitionskostenzuschüsse finanziert werden. Neben der oben genannten generellen Zielsetzung von SECCI ist der deutsche Beitrag darauf gerichtet, die strategische Kooperation zwischen Deutschland und der IDB zu vertiefen sowie geeignete Kooperationsvorhaben zu identifizieren und vorzubereiten. The purpose of the Contribution is to further strengthen the importance of climate change related projects within IDB's development strategy and to support IDB in its ambition to increase the share of climate finance within its overall portfolio up to 30% until 2020.The Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Initiative (SECCI) Multi-Donor Fund was founded in the year 2007 with the support of the German Ministry of Development and Economic Cooperation (BMZ) in order to support the IDB in its activities in the field of climate change. SECCI's main task is to provide comprehensive sustainability options in areas related to the energy, water and environmental sectors, in addition to build climate resilience in key priority sectors, which are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change within IDB's portfolio. The Contribution's objective is to support this task to continuously improve the quality of climate related projects. Thereby, the Contribution supports the economic development in the region as well as the mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Furthermore, the Contribution shall support the preparation and implementation of co-financing initiatives for climate change related projects between IDB and KfW. This Contribution builds up on two earlier contributions by the Government of Germany via KfW in 2007 and 2010 (each EUR 5 million) which financed professionals working in the IDB as Trust Fund Appointees and studies as well as consulting measures. The Contribution may finance the following components: (i) Financing of up to three Externally Funded Contractuals (EFC) and (ii) Financing of technical cooperation operations and investment grants. KfW under German Development Cooperation intends to make available funds with an amount of up to EUR 7 million for this Contribution.
