2 PPCR / Haiti Phase 1 - Logical framework General objective Specific objective Activities Potential partners Risks Component 1 : Characterization of climate variables Ensure availability, management, analysis and transmission of climate and hydro-meteorological data to thematic sectors involved in land planning, disaster management and economy in Haiti. Understand the requirements for appropriate collection, storage, analysis and transmission of climate and hydro-meteorological data (financial and human needs, technical specifications) and identify relevant climate indicators for different user profiles Characterize quantitatively credible values of relevant variables for food security, coastal management and reconstruction, and identify sensitivity trends of the sectors to climate variables. Component 2 : Climate resilience mainstreaming at sectoral and thematic level 2.1 Agriculture and food security Improve food security and reduce climate risks for the Haitian agricultural sector of climate change into national agricultural policy implementation Assessment of existing capacities in collection, storage, analysis and transmission of data Assessment of current projects and short term perspectives in capacity to monitor climate and hydrology data Needs assessment for climate data of sector users Evaluation of financial and human effort to cover identified needs Identification of a credible set of climate data to feed sensitivity tests at thematic level. relevant parameters in the sector (as far as available data allows it). action, at the project / program scale: impact on crops timeframe and techniques per area/type of crops, etc climate change at program / project level National Meteorology Centre (CNM), National service for water resources (SNRE), National centre of Geo-spatial information (CNIGS), Environment and Vulnerability National observatory (ONEV), Food security national council (CNSA), Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) Ministry of Agriculture (MARNDR, including DDA), CNSA, Ministry of Environment (MDE), Planning ministry (MPCE), Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), MICT, Research and agricultural development centre (CRDA), National institute for Agricultural reform Limited existing / available data in climate modeling could jeopardize climate vector identification needed for component 2. Risk mitigation measure: use of available data in the literature ; know how in data quantitative analysis including uncertainty management Due to the priorities induced by the Jan 2010 earthquake, stakeholders could consider climate resilience secondary or too complex to account for in planning. measure: besides expertise, a particular effort should be conveyed to communicate among

3 2.2 Coastal zone management Improve coastal zone management in Haiti 2.3 Reconstruction Improve the reconstruction process in Haiti of climate change into coastal zone management of climate change into the reconstruction process wider scale and sector level for phase 2: updating of NAPA, use of PNIA at project level, etc relevant parameters in the coastal management sector, especially along the environmental component, as far as available data allows it. action, at the project / program scale: impact on coral reef, aquatic biodiversity, flooded area, urban vulnerability climate change at program / project level in coastal areas wider scale and sector level for phase 2 (i.a. updating of NAPA) relevant parameters in the coastal management sector, especially along the design / norms and infrastructure O&M, as far as available data allows it. action, at the project / program scale: emphasis on impact on water, energy and urban drainage sectors climate change at program / project level in the reconstruction / retrofit sector (INARA), agricultural corporations (OPA), ONG Civil Protection Board, Ministry of Interior, MDE, UNDP, GEF, Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) CIRH, MTPTC, MPCE, MEF, MCI, Trust Fund for Haiti Reconstruction, IFC, UNDP the relevant stakeholders. CIAT could be overwhelmed and struggle to be a legitimate leader in that area. measure: Additional staff will support CIAT in the PPCR management (cf. component 4) Lack of climate data could jeopardize sensitivity analysis on impacts measure: Involved staff will have to be proactive and confident enough with quantitative analysis including uncertainty management - and sector experience to pick up credible assumptions as needed should data become scarce. Most of all, there should be an effort to maintain a capacity to work at strategic level, drawing conclusions relevant for strategic and operational perspectives without necessarily use project

4 Component 3 : Institutional engineering Improve climate resilience Promote an institutional mainstreaming in the continuity along the planning and M&E processes information chain from climate variables to sector impacts, by associating the different national and regional stakeholders, public and private. The chain includes the following key benchmarks: data collection, impact analysis, definition and implementation of mitigation strategies and capitalization and dissemination of best practices. Component 4 : Project management Make PPCR a useful and Ensure a fair balance of efficient asset in the Haitian efforts to 1/produce a global planning process framework for climate resilience mainstreaming (SPCR) and 2/use of this framework at project level wider scale and sector level (i.a. urban vulnerability) Look for synergies and ways to cross fertilize with private sector initiatives (e.g. cell broadcasting in descending alert systems, business continuity planning, etc ) for phase 2 (i.a. updating of NAPA and action plan for the rise and national development of Haiti - PARDNH) Establish a mapping of stakeholders, local and regional, public and private, involved in climate variable management and impact modeling for the three key sectors (food security, coastal management and reconstruction); Perform an analysis of the mapping to identify possible institutional gaps and overlaps along the information process. This analysis should take place in a common interest and participatory perspective and should involve as much as possible private sector and civil society representative and account for gender issues as relevant. Reinforce sustainably CIAT capacity to coordinate ministries in the area of climate change adaptation and PPCR pilot, and strengthen coordination with regional stakeholders Institutional and technical unfolding of the project (component 1, 2, 3) are benchmarked by formal and informal meetings to ensure a large initial consultation then validation of identified orientations and implementation timeframe The project is managed in the perspective of CIAT, MDE, regional PPCR, Donors, private sector, civil society CIAT, MDE level / accurate data. Limitation of Haitian regulatory framework in climate change management could be an issue measure: The institutional mapping should inform whether or not this is the case. At any rate, it could be used as a basis for further regulation or adjustments of existing regulation.

5 (identification of pilots for phase 2) Contribute to sustainable capacity development inside CIAT and to other relevant stakeholders (to a lesser extent) Respect of timeframe and optimal use of budget to value potential synergies with regional PPCR scheme Information dissemination to improve coordination, information sharing and capitalization in the field of climate resilience mainstreaming. generating commitment on the SPCR, and will have dedicated expertise and organize formal and informal events to do so CIAT management of expertise : key contact and documentation, deliverable control, interaction with regional PPCR (accounting for Haiti priorities and resources) Information dissemination towards technical and financial partners (international, regional, national) involved in climate resilience and targeted sectors (food security, coastal management, reconstruction) to improve information sharing, capitalization and coordination.
