Sida has provided 1nst1tut1onal- and capacity bu11d1ng support to the EQA through an agreement with UNDP PAPP as technical partner since 2011 (extended to end of Septemeber 2014). The project aim has been to strengthening the inst1tut1on·s regulatory and enforcement functions. In the original plans of the project there were suggestions that the EQA would be exposed to other national agencies with s1m1lar roles and respons1b1l1t1es in their national settings. for exchange and learning experiences The EOA undertook a study v1s1t to the Swedish EPA in the late autumn of 2013

The ann of the study v1s1t was to expose the Palestinian EOA to the Swedish experience on environmental protection 1n order to contribute to improving their competences in environmental planning, monitoring and enforcement as a component in the larger project mentioned. A second aim of the study visit was also to investigate possible prospects for future cooperation between the two institutions. It turned out well, areas of possible cooperation was Jointly drawn up between the two inst1tut1ons

It was therefore suggested by Sida that the Swedish EPA and Palestinian EOA continue this exploration of future cooperation via an in-depth process. a1m1ng at developing a multi-year proiect proposal. if deemed feasible. that would fit into the larger framework of the Sida funded capacity- and inst1tut1onal building program of the EQA.

The development intervention is relevant in relation to the expected results in the Swedish government strategy or other relevant instructions. In the new anticipated strategy environment will cons1tute one of the three resultareas.

Available funds. There are sufficient funds within the relevant appropriation post and authorisation frame for the proposed development intervention

The cooperation partner fulfils the legal requirements to enter into an agreement. The Swedish EPA/ Naturvardsverket, fulfils the legal requirements to enter into agreement (T1anstekops6verenskommels) and 1s based on the framework agreement between EPA/Naturvardsverket and Sida

Objectives of the development intervention

With reference to the previous question above. the partner's capacity and internal control system was assessed as an integral part when establishing the framework agreement

Considering the assessment of the intervention logic, the feasibility and the risks, 1t 1s likely that obJectives will be achieved It 1s most likely that the actual activities be carried out, fact finding missions by the EPA to Palestine and the study v1s1t by the EQA to Sweden. However, the third component of the inception phase will only be earned out 1f deemed feasible. to develop Joint proposal for a multi-year project.

Terms of Reference for an inception phase of cooperation between

the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the

Palestinian Environment Quality Authority (EQA) 2014-2015

Background Sida has provided institutional- and capacity building support to the Palestinian Environment Quality Authority (EQA) through an agreement with UNDP PAPP as technical partner. The project aim has been to strengthening the institution's regulatory and enforcement functions. The support has been provided since 2011 and has been extended to the end of September 2014. In the original plans of the project there were suggestions that the EQA would be exposed to other national agencies with similar roles and responsibilities in their national settings, for exchange and learning experiences. Apart from visiting the Jordanian counterpart in 2012, the EQA also undertook a study visit to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the late autumn of 2013.

The aim of the study visit was to expose the Palestinian EQA co the Swedish experience on environmental protection in order to contribute co improving their competences in environmental planning, monitoring and enforcement as a component in the larger project mentioned. A second aim of the study visit was also to investigate possible prospects for future cooperation between the two institutions. This aim turned out well, areas of possible cooperation was jointly drawn up between the two institutions.

It was therefore suggested by Sida that the Swedish EPA and Palestinian EQA continue this exploration of future cooperation. This assignment would complement the review study of the EQA which Sida has commissioned an independent consultant firm to carry out during the spring of 2014. The study includes an organisational review of the

EQA and the identification of possible partners for future institutional

and capacity building support. It will be guiding Sida in how to program

the future support to the EQA under the next strategy period, which

will have a more explicit environment focus.

Aim On the basis of the first study visit by EQA to Sweden in 2013, the aim

is to jointly continue to explore different areas for future possible

cooperation between the two institutions, through a sequence of

missions and study visits. The second aim is to develop a project

proposal for multi- year cooperation if deemed feasible, raking into

account the results of the above mentioned consultancy study for

maximum relevance of future support.

The assignment The Swedish EPA shall elaborate an inception phase for cooperation

through a sequence of fact finding missions, followed by study visits

between the institutions. The Swedish EPA will be responsible for

carrying out fact finding missions to the EQA in Palestine and

arranging for the study visit by EQA to Sweden. The Swedish EPA is t0

provide the relevant expertise and staff needed to fulfil the different

missions and study visit. If deemed feasible a project proposal shall be

developed jointly with EQA for multi-year support which fits within

the larger framework of the Sida funded capacity- and institutional

building program to the EQA.

Programs for the mentioned activities in the inception phase (fact

finding missions and study visit) shall always be elaborated jointly with

the EQA and be submitted to Sida for information and dialogue. Sida

shall always be provided the opportunity to take part in the different

act1v1t1es.

The inception phase is to start in April 2014 and end at the latest by 31

March 2015.

Reporting The Swedish EPA shall submit a narrative and financial report of the

completed inception phase. The narrative report shall include

information on carried out activities and analyse to what extent the

overall aim was reached.

The reports, shall not exceed 15 pages ( excluding the financial report), be written in English and submitted in a signed, printed copy and one

digital copy.

The report shall be submitted to the Consulate General of Sweden, Jerusalem.

M-000029-14

Cooperation between the Palestinian Environment Quality Authority (F:QA) and the Swedish Environment Protection Agency (EPA) - Draft Terms of Reference for an inception stage of cooperation.

Background Sida is providing institutional and capacity building support to the Palestinian Environment Quality Authority (EQA) through an agreement with UNDP PAPP as technical partner. The dialogue with the Swedish EPA was initiated by Sida in late spring 2013 when a study visit by EQA to the Swedish EPA was suggested.

During the study visit to the Swedish EPA, which took place in November, a number of different areas for possible cooperation between the two authorities were identified. (See annex 1)

Aim The overall aim of this inception programme 2014-15 is to establish thrust and partnership between EQA and EPA and to pave the ground for a longer cooperation. This implies a mutual understanding of how both institutions are structured and operating in order to identify common grounds for beneficial cooperation.

The immediate aim of the cooperation during the coming year is to identify and specify areas of cooperation thru visits to Palestine and to carry out a study visit to Sweden with focus on selected areas of cooperation. Those activities will form a part of the process to elaborate a multi-year cooperation programme with Palestine, if deemed feasible.

Further details of the cooperation during 2014-15 will not be possible to present at this stage but will be developed during the course of the assignment.

fact finding missions and study visit shall be elaborated jointly with EQA and submitted to Sida for dialogue.

Component 1

Two fact finding and projekt formulation missions, each one week, will take place in Palestine. The aim is to enable EPA staff to get a better understanding of EQA organisation and operations. Areas of cooperation will also be discussed and further highlighted during the missions. 2-3 areas of cooperation will be agreed upon, which will be the basis for study visits to Sweden (see Component 2)

Component 2 A study visit in Sweden will be carried out by EQA-staff. Based on the outcome of Component 1, different activities will be organized around the selected areas of cooperation, such as work shops, study visits, training, lectures etc. Discussions and planning of coming stages of the cooperation will also take place.

Component 3 This component will cover project preparation, management support, programme coordination and auditing.

Timing The programme will run between l April 2014 - 31 March 2015

Reporting The Swedish EPA will narratively and financially report when the assigmcnt has been carried out. The narrative report shall include information on carried out activities and analyse to what extent the overall aim was reached. The report shall also include recommendations regarding the future development of the cooperation.

Budget A prelimary budget (in SEK) for the assignment has been attached in annex 2. Considering the inception nature of the programme, where detailed project

Areas of possible cooperation between the Palestinian EQA and Swedish EPA

I. Authority delegation to regional and local bodies seems practical with

proper planning, follow-ups, and lots of procedures. This might be

applicable in Palestine, and the assistance from EPA in implementing a pilot would be useful.

2. Working on development of coordination mechanism with different

stakeholders in the environmental sector in Palestine is a potential. since

EPA has excellent experience in this area.

3. Possible support to EQA in harmonizing the environmental law in Palestine including the development of all necessary bylaws and

regulations.

4. Organizational structure development of EQA (including its regional

offices) to fulfil its mandate.

5. Learn from the Swedish experience m the management of natural reserves. forests. and parks.

6. Environmental awareness and outreach (environmental awareness and education centers).

7. Possible support and training in the development of an Environmental

Information System can also be considered.

8. The PRTR system applied in Sweden is of interest. Some feedback of

EPA experience/lesson learned might be useful.
