 Yesterday we had an event around giving climate finance down to the local level for local action and we had Pete Betz as the chair, so he's the director of climate and energy for the UK. And Gebru who is the incoming LDC chair for the incoming LDC chair for the LDC group of negotiators, ac fe ddarparu y cwestiynau a dwy'n fifeirio hynny a dwy'n rewb eich myddiol ar gweithio tanzen genius yng Nghaerlydd, Senegal a Cynwyau. I gweithio gweithio y Chynwypopeth Rhedd, dwy'n dwy cynnig o ffinans ffordd cyhoeddus. The objective of the event was really to demonstrate approaches that are getting finance out the door, down to where it's needed. These are mechanisms that work and are transformational. Really the objective was to share it with other countries and encourage them to start to look at using these types of mechanisms. Both our chair and our opening speaker, both the UK government and Gebrw representing the LDC group, we're really excited about these mechanisms as one that have real potential for the climate finance of the future. Gebrw was encouraging the Red Cross and IID to work together to pull the two mechanisms together because they're very complementary. So that was a wonderful outcome. The approach that we're taking with the devolved climate finance is to work with the governments at the national level, the local government level, on the mechanisms, if you like the piping internally for the government about how to get climate finance from the global level down through the national level to local governments. This plumbing is really important. Once you can get it right then you can have confidence that the finance is reaching where you expect. But at the local government level, we've also been working with them in a process of developing their institutions to be able to engage with local communities, bring local communities plans together and bring that into their local government planning process. This approach by building the institutions themselves means that even after the project finance is finished, they have an approach that they can continue to use. The other aspect of this that's really exciting is that because we're working so closely with the governments and they're really understanding what we're trying to achieve, they've started to use their own development finance in the investments the communities are prioritising. So we're using small amounts of climate finance at the local level and beginning to leverage in the domestic public finance that's available for development. So you're beginning to get climate positive development investments happening. The approach that we're taking is very much about increasing the transparency and the accountability of the climate finance. So the plumbing, if you like, that we're creating gives a great sense of expectation in the communities. So at the ward level, they're all informed before the process starts how much climate finance is going to come to them and so they can plan around that. And through the process, in the development world, they've been talking about these sort of social audits where you are transparent about the budget, transparent about where the initiatives, what the investments are going to be and then communities can provide feedback. And that's absolutely at the centre of this model. Also in Tanzania and Mali, we've joined up with UNCDF, who are looking at the technical details of the budgeting process, so that the government of Tanzania and the government of Mali are actually also reforming and improving their budgeting process so that it's easier for this climate finance to flow down to the local level and be accounted for. The other thought I have on why there's so much interest on the tracking is because there's so much concern by the least developed countries that they're not getting their fair share of climate finance. And this mechanism, by getting the finance down to local governments and out to communities in this very transparent way, it really demonstrates that you can get climate finance flowing and you can get it down to the place where people need it most. We've been working in with the Kenyan government, Tanzania government, Mali and Senegal, and the approach that we've taken to date has been with some support from the UK government of building the model, if you like, the approach at the local level that gives communities voice and allows them to prioritise the investments in all of this plumbing. We're still improving that approach, but at the same time we're working with these governments on applying to the Green Climate Fund so they can access the global finance and use the same approach and a much more scaled up, you know, extending the work into further counties, into further districts. We're also hoping to work with other governments and there are a few governments that are sharing interest in this approach and we're hoping that we'll be able to find owners to support the piloting processes there too.
