Kapacitetsbyggnad av institutioner & strukturer som ansvarar för miljö & klimat Capacity building of institutions & structures in charge of environment &climate - Audits of environmental institutions and Program Design Support the government of Mali in the definition of its needs of capacity building of Structures and Institutions in Charge of Environment and Climate change based on a throughout diagnosis. Support the State Capacity in sustainable management of environment and climate change.Through a lengthy process, the donor’s harmonization and coordination group in Environment and climate change together with the government of Mali have elaborated a “Conceptual Note” on the current situation of the Institutions and Structures in charge of the Coordination in Environment and climate change.  Following this, the government submitted Terms and References to the donors’ community for organizational audits (self-assessment audits and external audits) and for the design of a “Capacity Building Programme of Institutions and Structures in Charge of Environment and Climate Change including the process to consolidate and update its NDC. The intention is to design a structured and comprehensive Programme in order to fill the institutional and policy gaps and to make these thematic more coherent and operational.  After a consensus made between the donors and the government and after having received a “Funding Request dated March 19, 2020”, it was decided by the Coordination and Harmonization Group that Sweden given its experience funds and coordinates these audits and the design of the Programme. The intention is that the future Programme which will be planned from 2021 to 2025 be funded through a “Basket Funding Mechanism” with shared responsibilities among donors. The budget The overall budget for the event is worth 241 963 000 FCFA (4 034 000 SEK) to be funded by Sweden. The overall draft budget was 300 000 000 FCFA (5 000 000 SEK). Through the comments from the Embassy, the budget was reduced by 19.35 %.  From the total budget of 4. 034 MSEK, 70 % will be used for consultancy services (national and international) while 30 % will be used for validation workshops and management costs for AEDD which is a “Public Administrative Establishment” with financial and administrative autonomy. Such status makes it obliged to generate resources from all operations it should be involved in. The costs for audits/diagnosis are 60 000 000 FCFA (1 MSEK or 24. 80%) while the costs for the Programme formulation where most of consultants are internationals are: 181 963 000 FCFA (3.034 MSEK or 75.2%).The overall budget will be managed by AEDD. No fund is forwarded to other entities.The Embassy assesses that given the objectives cited above and the intended better coordination and capacity vis á vis the Environmental protection, the public education and awareness making about climate change adaptation and anti- desertification work, the budget seems adequate.  The funding will permit more efficiency and effectiveness of environmental protection and climate change while improving coordination and harmonization.
