Eswatini

In a first project, ICAT supported capacity building to develop robust sustainable data collection processes, including institutional arrangements, and improved Tier 2 data for future inventory compilation. A renewable energy policy assessment was also conducted in order to model the climate, economic and social impacts of various scenarios, particularly in the agriculture and LULUCF sectors. A second project, currently under implementation, is aiming to strenthen capacity of national stakeholders to develop a robust MRV system for the adaptation in health and water sectors, which can then be replicated in other adaptation sectors. In addition, the project aims to set up a Bioenergy Task Force to develop a Bioenergy Policy which will provide clear direction to Eswatini’s biomass energy sector and create an enabling environment to enhance biomass renewable energy development and investment in this sector.

Project 2

Objectives

Building capacities of technicians in the MTEA, line departments and national experts and institutions, as well as other stakeholders, to develop a robust MRV framework for the health and water sectors. The process for developing this MRV framework can then be rolled out in other adaptation sectors.

Components

  • M&E of adaptation M&E of adaptation
  • MRV frameworks MRV frameworks
  • Policy assessment Policy assessment
Status: In progress
Start date: May, 2023
  1. Development of an MRV framework for adaptation in the health and water sectors.
  2. Build capacity within Eswatini to conduct policy impact assessments (particularly SD impacts, but also transformational change) and to incorporate inputs from non-state actors into projections and planning.
  3. Assist MNRE’s Department of Energy with the development of the Eswatini Bioenergy Policy.

Project 1

Objectives

Building capacities of technicians in the MTEA, line departments and national experts and institutions, including the University of Eswatini (UNESWA), as well as other stakeholders, to develop robust sustainable data collection processes, including institutional arrangements, and improved Tier 2 data for future inventory compilation. In addition, the project aims to undertake a renewable energy policy assessment in order to model the climate, economic and social impacts of various scenarios on emissions and the community and the economy as a whole, particularly in the agriculture and LULUCF sectors. This project has both an adaptation and a mitigation component.

Components

  • MRV frameworks MRV frameworks
  • Policy assessment Policy assessment
Status: complete
Start date: April, 2021
End date: May, 2022
  1. Adaptation scoping and gap analysis (focusing on health, gender, water and sanitation) for potential Eswatini adaptation actions.
  2. Strengthen the institutional arrangements and data collection process for the energy and agriculture sectors.
  3. Enhance the inventory data for LULUCF.
  4. Renewable energy policy assessment and scenario impact modelling to explore concrete approaches that could significantly assist Eswatini to meet its NDC renewable energy target.
