PCCB recommendations to the COP The PCCB produced a summary of the one-day technical exchange on its 2017 focus area or theme, including its recommendations and conclusions Its recommendations and conclusions to the COP, contained in the annual technical progress report, have the following elements: Thematic alignment of the 2018 Durban Forum on capacity-building with the 2017-2018 focus area or theme of the PCCB Ways forward for the PCCB in implementing its rolling workplan in the context of its 2017-2018 focus area or theme: PCCB will consider the reports of previous Durban Forums for its further work PCCB will aim to take stock of all CB activities undertaken for NDC implementation, and make the information available for Parties and non-party stakeholders PCCB will aim to provide an analysis of CB needs and gaps in the context of NDC implementation, and to possibly recommend guidelines on how to conduct capacity gaps and needs assessments and how to enhance the CB efforts of Parties to implement NDCs These conclusions are guiding the on-going technical work of the PCCB 7
Inputs from the submissions received on capacity-building for NDC implementation The following are some of the inputs from the submissions received by 31 July 2017 on the topic of capacity-building needed for NDC implementation: Further capacity-building and information is needed in areas of: Updating and adjusting the NDCs Resource management & technology installation Integrating human rights and gender perspectives into NDC implementation Developing and enhancing domestic legal and institutional arrangements for short-, mid- and longterm climate action to implement NDCs Enhancing developing countries ownership of the capacity-building process as part of their NDC implementation There should be flexibility in adjusting the capacity-building activities to better match local conditions and needs Some submissions highlighted the examples of recent or ongoing capacity-building activities aimed at supporting developing countries NDC implementation in areas of: Grid connection for renewable energy Adaptation and disaster risk reduction Tracking and reporting of GHG emissions and removals 8

From Technology Needs Assessments to Nationally Determined Contributions More than 70 percent of countries having a TNA referred to it in their NDC Mali emphasizes the need for implementing the Technology Action Plans from the TNA process, as one of the means to reach NDC targets. Thailand refers directly to its TNA in the NDC and highlights the need for international support in the form of technology transfer (as well as in capacity building and financial) to achieve the set targets. Dominican Republic reference its TNA as a means to reach NDC targets, emphasizing that its TNA identifies measures and technologies for implementation that is compatible with the National Development Strategy and other national plans of the country.
Lebanon Examples of existing good practices on linking TNA and NDC processes used the institutional structure established during the TNA process for preparing its NDC as well. Also sectors and technologies from the TNA were included in the NDC Swaziland undertook development of their NDC and TNA process in tandem, using the same team of consultants for both processes The Gambia aligns its TNA with the targets developed in the NDCs and prepares the Technology Action Plans to support implementation of actions to reach the NDC targets

Human rights in climate action is a capacity gap that needs to be addressed to facilitate the effective implementation of NDCs Building capacity to address cross cutting issues (including gender responsiveness, human rights and indigenous peoples knowledge) should be a priority for the PCCB The Durban Forum could support this work of the PCCB by initiating a dialogue on these cross cutting issues in May 2018.

Part II: Ways to enhance the capacity-building portal 22
Capacity-building Portal Identifying areas on the Capacity-building Portal (CB Portal) for improvement, through: Submissions Capacity-building Portal website First meeting of PCCB 23
Enhancement of CB Portal Outcome Regular submission of information Verification of the data Prioritize objectives and type of information Sufficient budget allocation Repository of capacity-building data Global interface of stakeholders and support collaboration and networking Identification of tools and lessons learnt Support evaluation and assessment of capacity-building needs and gaps Prerequisite Identify linkages/synergies with other initiatives/bodies/portals 24
Key enhancement areas Tutorial/manual /service desk Prominent placement Outreach/social media tools Calendar Including what type of resources are available on capacitybuilding portal and how the users can make use of the portal. FAQs, live support Easy access for stakeholders Awareness raising and a proactive approach to ensure that data continues to be submitted to the portal Capacity-building events and activities Increase interactivity Integrate search function, filtering and statistical tools Include data from other sources Create pre-defined reports incorporate real-time components and support collaboration and exchange of stakeholder information To assist the PCCB and other stakeholders in the evaluation and assessment of the capacity-building needs and gaps For example, BA, NCs, BURs, TNAs etc. For example, PCCB focus theme, lessons learned, good practice, tools, categories, etc. 25
