The kick-off workshop is led and facilitated by country FPs, with Scoping Lead support. The knowledge and expertise of the in-country development partners are leveraged, building on existing gaps assessments and other analyses already conducted by in-country stakeholders.
Primary objectives of the workshop are to:
Discuss with all stakeholders how the CE process can add value given current arrangements
Foster maximum national ownership for scoping demands and facilitating cross-sectoral, multi-stakeholder dialogue on NDC implementation
Secure broad involvement of all stakeholders relevant to the country’s NDC implementation
Secure buy-in across government and from DP/IPs
Promote transparency about the process and roles and responsibilities of the SU, government, and IP/DP in the process
Seek comments on facilitation arrangement and/or offer that role to relevant stakeholders
Prepare the basis for developing a Rapid Situational Assessment (see Stage 2), which serves as a framework for developing the Partnership Plan
Clarify roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders in NDC implementation
