Consultant Services to Provide Analytical Support for The Gambia Towards NDCs

The NDC Partnership (NDCP), a global coalition that works with national governments, international institutions, and civil society, to fast-track climate and development action, awarded an open contract to Genesis Analytics (Genesis) to provide analytical support to inform decision-making related to the development of Partnership Plans and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation across NDCP member states. Within this framework, Genesis supported the Government of The Gambia (GoG) to prioritise NDC implementation outcomes and estimate the costs of the prioritised outcomes (including outcomes thereof).

This report presents 20 prioritised outcomes of the NDC Implementation Plan, according to the assessment of seven co-developed criteria and with reference to a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework.

Seven outcomes belong to the Adaptation plan, and 13 to the mitigation plan. The analyses have been undertaken by overall thematic components/ sector that allows to obtain a broader picture of the evaluation of the NDC implementation prioritisation, as well as a detailed analysis by key outcomes prioritised within each thematic component/ sector based on quantitative and qualitative assessments.

In summary, the 20 NDC outcomes (inclusive of all their disaggregated outputs) suggested to be prioritised encompass policy, legislative and institutional review and development and mobilisation of climate finance, furthering climate services investments and systems, and the built environment and infrastructure within the Adaptation thematic components – all of which are suggested to be implemented by the year 2026. Similarly, for Mitigation, the results indicate that outcomes specifically for Energy, Agriculture, IPPU, Waste and LULUCF sectors ought to be prioritised by the year 2029.
