Current focus on production of participatory sub-regional assessments related to climate change and adaptation in Central Asia.
Overall goal of the project is to improve regional and national level networking and enhance exchange of knowledge in Central Asia, and improve institutional capacity for the uptake of cleaner energy and energy efficient technologies and services. It aims to deliver a) a network of climate change focal points and experts, and mechanisms for exchange of information and experiences to enhance institutional capacity and awareness, b) identify and develop cleaner technology action plans for two sectors, and c) support for the development of markets for energy efficient technologies.
OzonAction is working to ensure that Article 5 countries experience a seamless transition to this new climate and ozone-friendly world with minimal disruptions. The goal is to help them make a “quick start” on this HFC job, while at the same time not distracting them from reaching their existing targets. CAP is helping to create high-level awareness about Kigali Amendment, which may result into reductions in the growth of HFCs and thereby reduce future costs to both the Multilateral Fund and the environment.
The project mobilised grants from the EU Investment Facility for Central Asia (IFCA) together with a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in order to rehabilitate Tajik drinking water supply networks and improve corporate development of service providers in four cities of Central Tajikistan
