CSAN - core funding for the advocacy and public affairs work of the national team 1.	CSAN is seeking support for core funding for the advocacy and public affairs work of the national team. This team, based in Romero House, Southwark, is the supportive centre and development engine of a network of charities and Catholic Dioceses whose work is founded in the precepts of Catholic Social Teaching (CST).
2.	The network has 42 members and is growing. It works in domestic social action and seeks social justice, recognising that the need for our services and our public voice of advocacy is urgent at this time.
3.	The cost of the advocacy, lobbying and campaign work of the CSAN team is some £70,000 per annum. A grant of that amount to cover this core work of CSAN is being sought from CAFOD. It is notable that this work is lending itself ever better and more persuasively to effective lobbying and campaigning in solidarity with CAFOD – examples being the joint general election campaign and the prospective refugee campaign in 2016.

UK ICF: a principle-led approach to deliver climate action for the poorest. The UK is one of the largest contributors to global climate finance both multi- and bilaterally, this is almost entirely delivered from UK International Climate Finance (ICF). The ICF budget derives entirely from UK Overseas Development Aid (legislated at 0.7% of GNI); however, climate finance in terms of the UK’s commitments under the UNFCCC must be ‘new and additional’ i.e. must not divert development aid. This is combined with the fact ICF derived from the ODA budget must comply with OECD-DAC rules on ‘development assistance’. Further legislation laid out in the UK International Development Act 2002, makes it clear that UK ODA must lead to poverty reduction. This means ICF is bound by a number of principles. Given these requirements, the three cross-Whitehall departments (DEFRA, DfID, BEIS) responsible for ICF spend, measure ICF’s impact using a set of KPIs and this is reported externally in an annual ICF Annual Results report.

Given the current context of a shrinking aid budget, the merger of FCO and DfID, at a time the UK is attempting to play a leadership role on climate change as the host of COP26, there are number of questions around ICF. Furthermore, the UK Government has recently pledged to maintain a doubling of ICF and insisted that it would maintain the current rules overseeing UK aid and climate finance. It is expected in the coming year the UK Government will look to refresh the ICF strategy to address recommendations laid out in the most recent ICAI report on international climate finance (Feb 2019) and as highlighted in their response to International Development Committee’s inquiry on ‘UK aid for combating climate change’.

This research aims to explore the plethora of climate and development principles to which ICF should be led. It will then assess the rigour and effectiveness that the current KPIs to evidence that these principles are being delivered on the ground in the most vulnerable communities. Primarily the research will consider this in terms of climate change adaptation and resilience, while exploring the transformational element of ICF and its measurement.

The research will inform the expected refresh of the ICF strategy, which is anticipated prior to the next tranche of ICF commitment. This tranche will see a doubling of the current spend to £11.6bn between 2021-2025. It is expected the research will lead to a second phase, where analysis can be made based using the first phase criteria and indicators to inform CAFOD partners advocacy on climate finance in their respective country contexts.
