4.1 Generaloutlineandapproach
AsalreadystatedtheprogrammecomprisesprimarilyoftwoindividualcountryprogrammesbasedinWesternKenyaandintheSofalaProvinceofMozambique(annex1and2).Incommonforthecountryprogrammesarethattheyoperateonissuesarounddecentralisednaturalresourcemanagementandclimatechangeimpactsandchallengesinruralorperi-urbanareas.Overallguidance,monitoringandcollectionandsharingofexperiencesare,however,cateredforbythevisionandobjectivesofthisprogramme,(seeTheoryofChangeandresultframework,4.2and4.3).Asbrieflymentionedinsection3.3thecountryprogrammesarebuilduparoundtwoconsortiumshaving4to5CSOsasmembers,matchingeachotherwithsetsofcomplementaryskills,experienceandtalents.Theconsortiumsaresupportedbyseveralnationalstrategicpartnersgivingspecialisedinputsone.g.monitoringmethods,independentreviewadviceorcommunityapproaches.Suchstrategicpartnerstypicallyoriginatefromtheuniversities,fromsmallspecializedconsultingfirmsorfromstrongernationalclimatechangenetworks.Incommonforbothprogrammesarealsothattheyseektotapintoalreadyavailabledecentralisedrevenuesgeneratedbythestate.DonorfundsadministeredbySEareusedasmerestrategicinvestmentsdesignedtoattractfurtherinterestfromlocalauthoritiesand/ortheprivatesector.Modern legislation on decentralised governance and slow but sure increasing efficiencies of governments to generate revenues are important handles of the programme. This can be from either direct natural resource exploitation (Mozambique) or as is the case in Kenya through a gradual budgetary and human resource mobilization at county and district levels. The programme will work through these new pieces of legislation taking advantage of the possibilities and challenges this brings with it. Important catalysts for unlocking the best parts of the potentials of decentralised governance are CSOs and CBOs living and working within the vicinity of the target population. The consortiums of CSOs mentioned in section 3.3 are the crankshafts of both programmes to make this happen. By working from a consortium platform on selected advocacy issues, considerable leverage is generated towards local authorities to deliver meaningful support to communities and invite private actors with ‘green products or methods’ to take an interest in areas where they normally would not operate. Our strategic orientation on the beneficiary level is on the mobilization of disadvantaged groups affected one way or the other by ongoing climate changes. Frequently the same groups are caught in-between ambitious but failing local government structures, local environmental conditions under stress and lately warmer and more unpredictable weather systems. Both programmes have at their core a purpose of generating and using evidence based advocacy cases evolving around environmental challenges experienced by the target group, either directly induced by

climatic changes or indirectly further aggravated by such changes. Whereas the attention around the global climate change agenda mostly is centred on COP meetings and high level negotiations between governments, the attention of this programme is at a much lower level. It is based in provinces and districts where thousands of ordinary people on a daily basis are adapting and coping with new and old climatic challenges. The programme takes advantage of the fact that experienced climate change is a global concern shared by most people. As such it provides for a unique opportunity for smaller CSOs to meet across borders to discuss effective ways and means to advocate for both local and global climate action. To cater for this a programmatic communication platform will be facilitated. The platform will comprise of members from partners’ communication departments and as such contribute to important aspects of the general capacity building of participating partners. Please refer to section 4.6 for a further description of the platform. The communication platform is one of several means of generating synergies between the two country programmes. Others include an overall shared reporting and guidelines system including ‘how to do’ examples within for instance baseline collection in remote communities, making community mapping and profiling and miscellaneous training manuals of relevance to the programme. Physical exchange of CSO staff attached to the country programmes will when feasible happen in connection with the semi-annual review missions or in connection with specially designed effectiveness reviews where partners might lend staff out to assist with the review. The human rights based approach is in-build in several PANT sensitive indicators and further enforced during semi-annual review visits discussing progress reports, consulting and supporting the continued propulsion of the country programmes. The approach to sustainability includes 1) relationships to partners, 2) the nature of supported interventions, 3) focus on signs of lasting impacts and 4) clear contractual agreements with partners on how to phase in and how to phase out:
1. The relationship to partners are guided by SE’s partnership approach (ref to annex 4, the international strategy) stipulating general principles for our collaborations. Being successful on creating strong bonds and working relationships between complementary local CSOs motivated to continue collaborating also after programme closure is an important part of the sustainability concerns. Partnerships are usually terminated in connection with the expiration of a contract. In such cases a planned phase-out period precedes the termination of the collaboration. Partnerships can also be terminated by either partner with a three months’ notice in case of serious breaches of trust between the partners or if sudden changed access to sources of funding occurs.
2. The investments carried out by the programme are spend as seed money with an acceptable
calculated risk of its ability to attract further funds from more sustainable sources, e.g. public allocated budgets generated from revenue collection mechanisms or investments from private businesses seeking to make a further profit.
3. As a measure of sustainability, the programme is more keen on registering for instance partners ability
to work smarter together or partners desire and ability to undertake profound advocacy campaigns than registering whether partners individual actions in the field all cater for appropriate sustainability assessments.
4. National programs and regional climate change networking projects all start phasing out activities and
documenting change 6 to 12 months prior to their planned termination. Partner contracts and program documents clearly mentions their expiry date. All current consortia partners are capable of sustaining themselves independently of the support and attention they receive from SE. A specific

indicator in the frame program agreement expresses the expectation of a gradual and increasing further independency of all organisations collaborating with SE.
