    Summary:

    ##### Description
    As part of the GEF Strategic Programme on Technology Transfer, the project will provide targeted financial and technical support that assists developing countries in carrying out improved Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) within the framework of Article 4.5 of the UNFCCC. The intention is that assisted countries go beyond identifying technology needs narrowly and develop national technology action plans for prioritized technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support adaptation to climate change, and are consistent with national development objectives.

    ##### Project Objective
    As part of the GEF Strategic Programme on Technology Transfer, the project will provide targeted financial and technical support that assists developing countries in carrying out improved Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) within the framework of Article 4.5 of the UNFCCC. The intention is that assisted countries go beyond identifying technology needs narrowly and develop national technology action plans for prioritized technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support adaptation to climate change, and are consistent with national development objectives.

    Project Components:

    1. Support the development of Technology Needs Assessments in 35-45 developing countries or, where these have already been prepared, their strengthening to make them more strategic and useful in an operational sense.
    2. Development of tools and provision of technology information that supports preparation of TNAs.
    3. Establishment of a cooperation mechanism that aids preparation and refinement of TNAs through sharing of experience and that fosters implementation of identified measures.

    Expected Outputs:

    1. Supported countries have: developed a national consensus on priority technologies, agreed on a technology action plan compatible with Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions or similar exercises, established an institutional structure for overseeing implementation, and developed capabilities to revise or adapt the plan as needed.
    2. Multi-criteria methodology for identifying mitigation technologies and technologies for adaptation most appropriate for national circumstances available for use by developing countries.
    3. Multi-criteria methodology for identifying mitigation technologies and technologies for adaptation most appropriate for national circumstances available for use by developing countries. Increased national and interregional cooperation on technology transfer as a means of facilitating the preparation of TNAs.
