Burkina - Adaptability reserve, M&E 2021-2025 The Bilateral Programme for Burkina Faso 2021 – 2025 has a total budget of DKK 1,050 million, of which DKK 143 million is set aside as an “adaptability reserve” to be allocated to activities over the course of the programme.
The programme takes place in the context of a severe security crisis giving rise to uncertainty and lack of predictability in many respects as well as climatic developments gradually worsening the general economic prospects and peoples’ livelihoods. This overall context, whose combined implications are likely to worsen rather than ease during the programme, obviously makes an adaptive approach particularly important in the case of Burkina Faso. 
The “adaptability reserve” is to be spent within the three strategic objectives of the Bilateral Programme and on transversal interventions supporting the operationalization of the development, humanitarian and peace nexus.
Another DKK 18 million will assure the establishment and running of the Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) architecture in line with the Doing Development Differently approach applied in the programme.

Strategic Sector Cooperation on Energy between Denmark and Turkey, Phase II The Strategic Sector Cooperation on Energy is a peer-to-peer cooperation between the Danish Energy Agency and Turkish Ministry for Energy and Natural Resources. The cooperation will assist in establishing a viable and energy efficient heat market, in developing of secondary regulation for heating and cooling sectors and in developing a roadmap for off-shore wind development in Turkey.


A Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) is a partnership aiming at improving sector framework conditions in a partner country. The initiative is a flexible and adaptive instrument for exchanging experiences, learning and capacity building, which builds on a consolidated strong relationship and trust between the involved authorities. The commitment to finance the Danish authorities’ participation is sequenced in phas-es; an inception phase of approximately one year resulting in a project document; followed by phase one, two and –if need be – a phase three during which the cooperation is deepened and developed. All SSC partnerships are supported by a sector advisor at the embassy, who impel progress and stir the partnership in the direction agreed upon.

Annually, the SSC projects deliver a report on project progress and results achieved. Progress on selected outputs are displayed in openaid. The Strategic Sector Cooperation on Energy aims to assist in developing relevant policies, strategies and solutions to enable a sustainable transition of the Turkish energy sector by:

-Achieving the governments’ long term objectives for energy efficiency and district energy; 
-Increasing the capacity of implementation of the planned new legislation on heating and cooling; 
-Providing a strong analytical basis and give an assessment of the potential and needs within heating and cooling;
-Supporting the Turkish government in preparing a roadmap for off-shore wind development in Turkey.
Regional Programme on Climate Change, Conflict, Displacement and Irregular Migration in Sahel: Preparation support Objective
The objective of the assignment is to finalise the program document for the new four-year programme. 

Background and context
The Danish finance act for 2021 includes a multiannual initiative on climate change, conflict, forced displacement and irregular migration in Africa with a specific focus on Sahel, allocating DKK 200 million each year for the next four years. The financing act underscores the importance of integrating a strong prevention focus that is climate-sensitive when addressing compound risks that drive fragility, conflict, displacement and irregular migration in the region. This program aims to focus and complement ongoing and planned regional and cross-border responses, by Denmark and partners through targeted support that integrates a longer-term preventive, climate-sensitive approach to underlying risks that drive fragility, conflict and irregular migration and forced displacement. 
The first two engagements to be supported by the new Programme have been identified and proposed. These are support to adaptive social protection in Sahel with the World Bank, including France, UK and Germany and, secondly, support to a new partnership with IFAD (ASAP+) that supports small farmers in Sahel cope with the effects of climate change. 
The volatility of the operational environment warrants a flexible and adaptive approach for commitments in the following years. Funds are reserved for additional activities in the coming years with UNDP, the Netherlands, and a new partnership with the European Commission as well as unallocated funds. A draft programme document has been prepared for the future support. However, before the programme is ready for submission for the approving authorities, recommendations from the appraisal must be included in the draft programme document must include, as appropriate.
