Selected Project Results -

• Total energy saving in Chinese lighting in 2004 resulting from the activities of the project was 15.78 billion kWh (equivalent to US$ 986 million savings in electricity costs to the consumer).
• The cumulative savings in lighting energy since project initiation in 2001 have been 25.54 billion kWh (equivalent to US$1,596 million savings in electricity costs to the consumer).
• A reduction of 4.9 percent in lighting electricity use was recorded for 2003 and estimated emissions related to lighting in 2004 were reduced by 4.3 million tonnes of carbon with cumulative reductions in carbon emissions of 6.8 million tonnes of carbon since project initiation.
• There was an increase in awareness of high efficiency products and an increase in the number of users (households and non-domestic bulk users) - from 32.1 per cent in 2002 to 34.7 per cent in 2003.
• There was a 46 percent increase in the output of high efficiency lighting products and a substantial (approximately 40 per cent) increase in China’s exports of high-efficiency lamps between 2002-2003.
• More than 600 lighting products, for eight different lighting product types, from 46 firms were certified.
• By the end of the project 400 products (in eight lighting product types) from 46 firms had been certified by the China Energy Conservation Product (CECP) Certification Committee. A CECP logo has been provided to promote certified products, and manufacturers are being encouraged to adopt it.

1)  An assessment of Tajikistan’s institutional, technical and human capacity to mainstream climate change considerations in key policy areas, with particular focus on the requirements for taking the Strategic Programme on Climate Resiliency forward; and

2)  An initial awareness raising campaign aimed at building capacity on climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation.This campaign will include a survey of climate change awareness and knowledge, a training of trainers session, and community-based participatory scenario development (PSD) workshops in each of Tajikistan's 4 regions.

1. To build capacity of the general public, journalists and civil society Organizations on climate change adaptation 2. To provide adequate information by producing and disseminating awareness materials on climate change adaptation

3. Document and disseminate best practices of climate change adaptation and vulnerability reduction

The outputs include:

1. The cleaning of the Sharuashlyk irrigation canal;
2. The rehabilitation of irrigation zones;
3. The estimation of ecologically allowable load on project location pastures will also be done before sowing field/pasturage crops in the pilot sites;
4. Community capacity to implement climate-resilient livelihood and livestock techniques will be developed through trainings in autumn/winter irrigation pasturage techniques and enhanced local awareness of long-term climate change impacts;
5. The publishing of a booklet about the leassons learned in the project, aimed at facilitating replication in areas facing similar challenges.

Two outcomes are expected:

i) Climate change issues are integrated into national and sectoral frameworks. The outputs that will contribute to this outcome include provision of Technical Assistance and training for members of the Thematic Working Groups (TWGs), who are responsible for formulating these plans as well as other sector stakeholders including local governments and other central government ministries.

ii) Enhanced knowledge and skills on climate change amongst key stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The outputs contributing to this outcome include trained staff and the development and dissemination of mainstreaming guidelines.

The project seeks to achieve two integrated outputs, which together form the nucleus of interventions to achieve the outcome of the project. The emphasis is an integrated effort to achieve increased crop productivity through increased nutrient- and water-use efficiency. The outputs are as follows: Output 1. State-of-the-art scientific knowledge characterizing agro-meteorological climate risks and uncertainties regarding crop production in the country generated Indicator: Report regarding the trends analysis of climatic variables [rainfall, temperature, etc. by end of month 1 of the project Output 2. The current status, socio-economic factors, constraints and opportunities for promoting adapted land use and management technologies vis-à-vis traditional knowledge and practices for agricultural drought mitigation in the selected AEZ identified. Indicator: Survey report by end of month 1 of the project

The results expected under the Water Resource project include:

* Representative populations and local elected officials have a better understanding of the impacts of climate change and are fully involved in the implementation of adaptation to climate changes measures.

* Two selected water reservoirs are rehabilitated and exploited.

* Women and youth are better prepared to adapt to risks and impacts of climate changes in agriculture and biodiversity, and the potential for an increase in household income is improved.

* The exodus of migrant from affected regions is gradually reduced.

* The estimated cost of rehabilitation of water reservoirs and related work is known;

* Based on the known costs of rehabilitation, an investment plan for the rehabilitation of all water reservoirs in the Savanna and Kara Regions of Togo is developed;

* A project proposal for the implementation of the investment Plan is developed and submitted to the Government of Togo and development partners, for support and implementation.

Following activities are planned under the Friends of the Earth project:

* Sensitization of 125 NGO Associations and private sector actors on climate change

* The production of a documentary film on climate change

* Production of posters and commercial broadcast;

* Sketches on climate change

* Organization of public and televised sensitization meetings;

* Radio broadcasts.
