Introduction
or the French Global Environment Facility, 2006 was a pivotal year, which saw strengthened project quality, increasing capitalisation of project experience, a boost to communication and the renewal of the FGEF’s financial resources for the four years to come.
F
In 2006, an in-depth audit of the FGEF, covering accounts, finances, operations and institutional aspects, was carried out by a major auditing practice. A “think tank” made up of internationally renowned French and foreign experts produced a detailed analysis of FGEF strategy and results over the previous four years.
Financial commitments to projects grew steadily: disbursements proceeded at an unprecedented rate since the creation of the Facility, thus demonstrating high levels of motivation among operators and beneficiaries regarding activities cofinanced by the FGEF. The vast majority of these activities concerned Africa and the Mediterranean, and focused on : sustainable management of forests and biodiversity by local communities or small-scale private operators, conservation-geared agriculture to limit land degradation, creation of Kyoto Protocol carbon credits for projects in forest or urban environments, management of transboundary water resources : Nile River and link between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, control of persistent chemical pollutants in North Africa and the Sahel.
• • • • •
The FGEF took an active part in strategic discussions on the environment and French contributions to international debates : at the World Water Forum in Mexico, on the topic of shared management of wetlands, irrigation and groundwaters in the Mediterranean area, at the Paris Conference on Biodiversity and European Corporation, on protection and management of Marine Protected Areas, including overseas areas under French administration, at the International Forum on Desertification in Montpellier, on the links between development, poverty reduction and desertification in Africa, at the 3rd General Assembly of the Global Environment Facility in Cape Town, on the definition of GEF policies and the renewal of its financial resources for 2007 - 2010.

A great many items of media communication on FGEF activities were produced with partners from the countries of the South, NGOs and businesses, for example in the special issue of Terre Sauvage magazine on biodiversity in Africa.

This review confirmed the strength of the FGEF’s position in the area of global public environmental goods as well as its flexible and rigorous management, and pinpointed directions for progress in communication and capitalising on experience. On 19 June 2006, the Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development, chaired by the Prime Minister, decided to replenish the FGEF’s resources up to a total of 70 million €. The FGEF has thus consolidated its unique role within French ODA as a financing instrument for sustainable development and global environment projects in developing countries, especially in Africa and the Mediterranean.

Founding Principles and Objectives for FGEF Intervention The FGEF’s founding principles are summarized below in the comments made by the “think tank” members who carried out the strategic assessment of the FGEF in early 2006 : “The FGEF has proved to be an original and effective instrument for international cooperation for development and the environment. It enables France to give emphasis to its own geographical priorities while ensuring consistency with the broader objectives assigned to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and, more generally, with undertakings made in respect of international conventions on the environment. It also supports access by French stakeholders from the science, research, business and NGO communities to environmental forums and studies contributing to international debates in this area. Finally, French policy gives a high priority to approaches to global environment issues within the context of sustainable development. The FGEF uses a dynamic approach to encourage linkages
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a multilateral fund which was officially launched in 1994. For the period from 2003 to 2006, a total of US$ 3 billion was awarded to replenish the fund, with France contributing 164 M€. The GEF is a financial mechanism used to implement international conventions (on biodiversity, climate change, desertification, and persistent organic pollutants). The FGEF is a bilateral fund which was created in 1994 and operates with an endowment from the State budget. It is additional to the French contribution to the GEF.
between development and the environment. These linkages will be losing none of their relevance in the years to come”. The overall objective of the FGEF is to encourage developing or transitional countries to adopt and implement sustainable development strategies, programmes and projects that are compatible with the longterm preservation of our planet's ecological equilibrium. Its specific objective is to contribute to financing, in the form of subsidies, of development projects with an enduring impact in the following global environment areas : biodiversity, the greenhouse effect, international waters, land degradation, including desertification and deforestation, persistent organic pollutants, the stratospheric ozone layer1.
to support operations in the field in beneficiary countries, through an approach that emphasises learning and support to innovative or exemplary projects, on request from, and under the responsibility of, any of its five institutional members, under minority financing arrangements, as an additional mechanism within the French public aid system, under Official Development Assistance accounts. A budget allocation of 67 M€ has been added to the FGEF’s resources for 2003-2006. FGEF subsidies amount to an average of 1.1 M€ per project, representing 18% of total project costs on average. 1
Projects relating to protection of the ozone layer are addressed under a specific procedure, which we describe below.
The FGEF acts : to strengthen the integration of global environment issues in projects for sustainable and equitable development,
In its operations, the FGEF does not call upon implementation agencies. Each project financed by the FGEF is submitted under the responsibility of one of the five institutions represented on its Steering Committee (see below). Like the GEF, the FGEF draws on the findings of a consultative scientific and technical committee. In terms of activities, the two mechanisms differ in the following respects : The FGEF devotes almost 50 % of its resources to Sub-Saharan Africa, as opposed to 20 % for the GEF; The FGEF gives priority to econo-

mic and social development projects in beneficiary countries that include global environment components; the GEF may intervene in projects that are entirely devoted to biodiversity protection and conservation or to research, but its doctrine has been evolving with a view to securing better integration of global environment protection and sustainable development issues. The FGEF’s share in the total cost of projects is limited to 50% ; there is no ceiling on GEF contributions. Of the 159 projects identified as of 31 December 2006 by the FGEF, 36 include GEF resources.

2006 Activity review
) SUMMARY 2006 was the second year of execution of the strategic programming framework for 2005 – 2006, and the final year of the FGEF’s third 4-year budget period (2004 – 2006).
Montreal Protocol (MF) have been pursued, with a record increase of 57% in project disbursements compared to 2005, and several flagship projects launched in Africa, India and Southeast Asia.
The accounting and financial audit carried out in March 2006 and covering the period from 2004 to 2006 reached favourable conclusions regarding the management of the FGEF, and recommended, essentially, that management planning of cash flow should be implemented in addition to accounting and budget monitoring. The Secretariat immediately looked into the matter and, in November 2006, drew up a cash flow management model for the 4 years to come (2007 to 2010).
Regarding budget management, the two outstanding results for the year 2006 were as follows :
Management improvements for the bilateral share of the Multilateral Fund for implementation of the
A continuing high level of commitment, with 17 million € for 15 projects, with a particularly strong emphasis on Africa and the Mediterranean ; A significant improvement in disbursements compared to previous years: by the end of 2006, the 46% ratio of total disbursements over total commitments had exceeded the ambitious target ratio of 45%, thanks to a voluntarist policy for project monitoring and portfolio “streamlining”.
CURRENT PROJECT COMMITMENTS In 2006, the steering committee approved a total commitment of 17.03 M € for 15 projects.

PROTECTING THE GOLA RAINFOREST IN SIERRA LEONE This forest reserve covering 74 800 ha harbours some of the richest biodiversity in West Africa. This primary forest is listed as a conservation “hotspot” by Conservation International and a priority ecoregion by the WWF, and has a high density of endemic bird species. The Gola National Park Project broadens the FGEF’s area of intervention to Sierra Leone, which is currently undergoing reconstruction and where natural resource management is a crucial issue. The project also innovates in seeking to convert a productive forest reserve into a National Park, while ensuring that the principle is acceptable to local populations and that they derive real benefits from it. This National Park should thus help to conserve more than 20% of the country's dense primary forest, while simultaneously promoting socio-economic development in the area. The total cost of the project is 6 M€, of which 1.186 M€ is financed by the FGEF. Protecting the Gola rain forest © C. du Castel – FGEF Secretariat

PROGRAMME FOR SMALL-SCALE INITIATIVES This programme is designed to involve civil societies in the countries of the South in the issues arising from biodiversity protection, climate change and control of persistent organic pollutants, by financing small-scale communityimplemented projects. It is generating opportunities for civil society in French-speaking Africa, and particularly in the five zone of priority solidarity (ZSP) countries (Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Gabon and Madagascar) to play a key role in preserving the global environment. The main focus of NGO activities is to preserve biodiversity. The aim here is to combine resource conservation with sustainable and rational use by local populations. In parallel with their field activities, NGOs perform an important role as regards information and education to encourage people to discover the value of ecosystems. This approach federates local populations around projects, thus ensuring that they endure over time. Threatened wildlife species as well as entire ecosystems have been preserved in this way (see photo and box on manatees). The FGEF is contributing 2.2 M€ to the programme.

CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF MANATEE POPULATIONS IN WEST AFRICA On an initiative from a Senegalese NGO, Océanium, the FGEF financed a multi-annual investment programme to save a group of Trichechus senegalensis manatees in West Africa, which had been stranded as floodwaters receded from an arm of the Senegal River. The operation depended on first capturing the animals. Manatees are very difficult to observe because of their lifestyle, and Océanium, in partnership with Noé Conservation, made the most of this exceptional situation to implement a scientific monitoring system. The programme has brought a better understanding of the species and its habitat. Thanks to this, the scientific community now has reliable tools to ensure more effective protection of manatees, which are classified as vulnerable in the IUCN list of threatened species.

BIOGAS RECOVERY FOR ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IN FEZ The FGEF is acting in the context of the construction of a water treatment plant in Fez with implementation of a depollution system upstream from the plant, in partnership with the European Investment Bank and the AFD. At present, domestic and industrial effluent from the Fez urban area (about one million inhabitants and industries including oilseed plants, tanneries, copperware, yeast production, breweries and textiles) is released directly into the Fez and Sebou wadis and accounts for over 40% of pollution in the Sebou, one of Morocco’s most heavily polluted rivers. Most industrial effluent is released directly, without prior treatment, into the sewerage network and accounts for 45% of the entire pollution load discharged within the urban area. Project financing from the FGEF, a total of 900 000 €, is targeted to four objectives : Treatment of domestic and industrial effluent discharged into the network to comply with quality objectives for the Sebou downstream from Fez ; Application of treatments of industrial pollution at source to optimise the operation of the treatment plant and the biogas recovery system ; Recovery of the biogas produced by digestion of sewage sludge from the treatment plant for technical and economic uses, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions ; Building on RADEEF experience in industrial depollution, public-private partnerships and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), for international dissemination. The FGEF is working with the DGTPE (FASEP) on the CDM aspects of the project. Leather tannery in Fez © Nicolas Fornage

SUPPORT TO THE MEKONG RIVER COMMISSION The Mekong river basin covers about 800 000 km2 in six countries : China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The Mekong river contains most of Laos and Cambodia's water resources and has supported the development of major rice-growing potential in north-eastern Thailand and southern Vietnam. The population of the lower Mekong basin is estimated at some 15 million inhabitants. It has doubled in the last 50 years and is expected to reach about 100 million by 2025. In 1995, a regional treaty between the four countries of the Lower Mekong (Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam) established the Mekong River Commission (MRC) as the river basin authority. The four signatory countries to the agreement have common views on sustainable development in the Mekong basin, which needs to combine economic prosperity, social justice and concern for the environment. Shared water resource monitoring is one of the key components of the 1995 treaty.
In each of the four national hydrological services and in the regional MRC centre, computer terminals are now being used to receive, process and archive data transmitted from field stations. The national hydrological services are also receiving specific training.

The aim of the project supported by the FGEF is to establish a reliable system for regional hydrological observations, to be shared by the four member countries.

A financial commitment of 0.60 M€ was also approved for the second component of a regional project on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) in Mali. The first component, with a 0.8 M€ commitment for Tunisia, was approved in 2005. The project as a whole was entered into the 2005 accounts and is therefore not included under the “number of projects” heading in 2006.

The project concerning the "programme for elimination obsolete pesticides stockpiles and preventing their reappearance" is not included under the number of projects for 2006. Total FGEF financing for this project amounts to 1.4 M€, with 0.8 M€ committed in the 2005 accounts.
ELIMINATING OBSOLETE PESTICIDES STOCKPILES IN AFRICA AND PREVENTING THEIR REAPPEARANCE Large stockpiles of obsolete pesticides have accumulated in Africa over the last 40 years. Their volume is estimated today at 50 000 tonnes. They represent a considerable threat to the health of local populations, especially among the poorest sections, as well as worsening the degradation of soils and water resources. In response to this problem, an international programme, the PASP, was launched in 2002 by the World Bank, the FAO and the WWF. It is aiming to : eliminate stockpiles of obsolete pesticides from the African continent ; prevent them from reappearing.
Elimination of obsolete pesticide stockpiles in Gao © Demba SIDIBE coordinator for PASP-MALI
In 2005, the FGEF decided to support this programme in 2 countries, Tunisia and Mali, with a total of 1.4 M€. The PASP for Mali should enable the Malian government to eliminate 800 tonnes of listed obsolete pesticide stocks and to support measures designed to prevent the accumulation of new stockpiles in future. As in Tunisia, the FGEF project in Mali focuses on prevention, by : improving current management of pesticide imports, production and distribution ; reducing pesticide use ; implementing permanent systems for recovering and treating empty packaging and unused pesticides. The latter aspect draws on the ADIVALOR system implemented in France to handle packaging.

OF THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL ) IMPLEMENTATION FOR PROTECTION OF THE OZONE LAYER On behalf of the MINEFI, the FGEF Secretariat monitors strategies and advises on the policy orientations submitted by signatory countries to the Montreal Protocol, as well as on governance of the Multilateral Fund for implementation of the Montreal Protocol (MF). The object of the MF is to provide grant financing to projects to reduce ozone-depleting substances in developing countries. Projects financed by the multilateral facility may be implemented by the UNEP, UNDP, UNIDO or the World Bank, but also by countries whose contributions to bilateral financing do not exceed 20% of their total contribution. In these cases, the FGEF Secretariat pilots the implementation and management of projects identified and submitted by France to the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol (MF). Financing for these projects is deducted from the French contribution to the Multilateral Fund. Even in the case of bilateral financing, the decision-making process is still multilateral. Projects have to be approved by the multilateral facility’s Executive Committee, which has 14 members. This committee has drawn up a number of principles and criteria for eligibility and intervention, with which projects have to comply. The Executive Committee also proposes, discusses and approves or rejects new decisions and strategic orientations.
French commitments, which began in 1994, amounted to USD 14.3 million by the end of 2006. It was not until the end of November 1999 that France adopted the same procedures for calculating supporting expenditures as the other countries having chosen to implement bilateral cooperation projects.
Intervention proceeds in stages, as follows : organization of preparatory studies on identified projects (assistance to the identification and formulation of investment projects) ; implementation of investment projects : these usually involve the conversion of industrial equipment or production processes. Current projects are mainly national plans for final elimination of ozonedepleting substances. They take place over several years and are financed in successive annual tranches ; technical assistance, training, public awareness and institutional capacity building. For the second and third stages, financing agreements are drawn up between the AFD and the beneficiaries. By the end of 2006, total disbursements under financing agreements had increased notably in comparison with previous years, by 40.2 %. Disbursements for projects had increased steeply (+ 57 %) in comparison with the end of 2005. Cash

flow surplus decreased significantly, by 35.5%, partly as a result of the adjustments recommended by the accounting and financial audit conducted by Ernst & Young in late 2005 to early 2006 (as of 31/12/2005, the surplus amounted to 10 million €). It should also be mentioned that, for the same purposes of clarification, 2006 expenditures for missions arising from the French contribution to governance of the Multilateral Fund (meetings between the parties and Executive Committee meetings), which are not project-related, are entered into the FGEF budget under “specific services and operating budget” (45 511 €). In 2007, “streamlining” of FGEF portfolios and accounts will continue, with the reimbursement of surpluses from wound-up projects to the MF, reductions in preparation and negotiating times for financing agreements and faster project implementation to match our management resources.
State of projects financed by the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montréal Protocol and managed by the FGEF Secretariat From 1994 to the end of 2006, a total of USD 15 million was approved by the MF Executive Committee for 93 projects concerning the elimination of ozone-depleting substances.
By the end of 2006, 31 projects were still active, equating to a commitment of USD 832 000. The following actions were launched in 2006 : a new multi-annual project tranche (India: 3rd CTC project tranche, USD 0.6 million, including supporting expenses) ;
three new project preparation activities (Laos with USD 33 900, Seychelles with USD 22 600 and Uganda with USD 33 900, including supporting expenses) ;
retroactively into the accounts for 2003-2005 and deducted from the French contributions to the Multilateral Fund for that period.

In 2006, the FGEF took an active part in monitoring these projects, either alone by monitoring projects approved by the MF Executive Committee, or in cooperation with another bilateral partner or executive agency; in the latter case, when the FGEF Secretariat has delegated project implementation, it retains about 40% of the administrative costs approved by the Executive Committee.
In 2006, the FGEF Secretariat also identified a project that would associate the MF and the FGEF in a regional project in Africa : this is the AFROC project for replacing cooling equipment in six African countries: Egypt, Sudan, Senegal, Cameroon, Namibia and Nigeria.

OF THE KYOTO PROTOCOL : ) IMPLEMENTATION REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
In 2000, the FGEF Secretariat was mandated to manage a facility for support to activities implemented jointly (Facilité d’appui aux activités exécutées conjointement - FAAEC), with a view to gradual implementation of the CDM and JI mechanisms. This facility is piloted by an interministerial committee chaired by the president of the Interministerial Task Force on Climate Change (Mission interministérielle de l’effet de serre - MIES). In 2006, the FAAEC saw the context of its activities evolve as a result of : a rapid rise in project applications under the CDM : more than 1500 projects by late 2006, reflecting
very high CDM uptake among developing countries, especially in Asia and Latin America. the success of the European emissions trading system (ETS), which became fully operational in 2006. This European system, with its “linking directive”, has opened up a major market for trade in certified emission reductions generated by CDM projects in developing countries. Unlike prices for assigned amount units (AAUs), which have seen considerable variations as a result of over-allocation in some countries, medium-term prices for certified emission reductions (CERs) generated by CDM projects have remained attractive, thus encouraging new sustainable development projects (managed landfills, hydropower plants, wind turbines, biomass-fuelled power plants, use of alternative energy sources in cement works, and so on). The second Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, held in December 2006 in Nairobi, which highlighted significant operational improvements in the CDM (carbon sequestration in biomass) and JI, and signalled renewed international debate on emission reductions beyond 2012. A high level of involvement from industrial and financial stakeholders in the new international instruments for greenhouse gas emissions trading, which has resulted in a plethora of public and private “carbon funds”, now totalling more than 4 billion €, set up to purchase emission reduction certificates from CDM projects.
18
In 2006, the FAAEC’s main activities were as follows : establishment of a CDM support program in four provinces in Western China, associating the AFD, FGEF and the NDRC authorities ; technical support and documentation for public institutions (MIES, MINEFI, AFD) and industries : how carbon markets operate, characteristics of the different funds, CDM policies in certain emerging or developing countries and preliminary project analyses. With the agreement of the steering committee, the part-time mission entrusted to the FAAEC consultant was brought to an end at the end of March 2006, as its initial objectives had been broadly fulfilled.

Following the Rio Convention on Climate Change (1992), three instruments were provided for under the Kyoto Protocol (1997) to promote reductions in greenhouse gas emissions : Emissions trading, applyied to trade in Assigned Amount Units (AAU) between the industrialized countries listed in Annex 1 to the Convention ; Joint Implementation (JI), which concerns transfers of emission reduction certificates between developed countries or Eastern European countries with transitional economies ; The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which concerns transfers of emission reduction certificates between developed and developing countries.

FGEF capitalisation activities in 2006
In accordance with good practice, the FGEF has launched a process aiming to strengthen results from the projects it is financing, and to improve feedback and communication on results and impacts. Retrospective assessments are one way of building on the knowledge and know-how acquired. More than 21 retrospective assessment reports were produced from 2002 to 2006. In 2006, four major assessments were conducted by independent consultants.
) BIODIVERSITY Republic of South Africa - biodiversity conservation in the Cape Peninsula A retrospective project assessment was conducted during the first semester of 2006 and its results were presented in Cape Town, in liaison with SANPARKS, during the GEF General Assembly at the end of August 2006. Main lessons In view of the peri-urban location of Table Mountain National Park and the considerable cultural diversity of the Cape Town urban area, the park authorities had decided to develop a policy for close collaboration with local communities. This policy took on different aspects over time but has never wavered from the single initial message that Table Mountain is the common heritage of every one of the region's inhabitants, so that its protection is of concern to all. A salient feature of this policy involves collecting and bringing out the value of traditional local knowledge which may otherwise disappear. Similarly, the introduction of a system for interpreting the Park in order to promote a better understanding of the different territories that have forged its identity is in line with the principle of strengthening relationships between parks and local populations. This approach, which is relatively new in South Africa, has benefited from experience within the French national parks system. It has been very successful with the public and is now being extended to other protected areas in South Africa. More generally, the system of exchanges organized between Table Mountain National Park and the French national parks has shown that despite very different
social and institutional contexts, each was able to benefit from the other’s experience, and that practical actions could stem from these exchanges. Burkina Faso - wildlife conservation units An external retrospective assessment of this project, which ended in December 2005, was completed in March 2006. The assessment report recommends that the lessons learned through this intervention should be strengthened in the future and should serve to demonstrate the fact that placing wildlife conservation units under concession management is a lengthy process that requires long-term institutional support. By comparing results with initial objectives in the light of the relevance of programmed activities, the project has helped to improve individual and collective skills in wildlife management. In the process of implementing the activities planned, capacities for action among those involved in the wildlife sector were strengthened, several important management activities for stabilising wildlife in protected areas were carried out and, on a more fundamental level, the project consolidated the foundations of sustainable management of wildlife and protected areas in Burkina Faso. Consolidating these achievements means, in particular, addressing the challenges raised by sometimes inefficient investment policies and by insufficiently appropriate project ownership by the state in its role as licensor. Institutional and financial mechanisms will need to be found to sustain project investments and infrastructure on an enduring basis. Concerning local populations, stronger motivation for wildlife conservation needs to be fostered through better cooperation with all concerned.

Capitalisation activities
Mediterranean - Conservation of natural coastal areas in the Mediterranean basin This project was approved by the December 1997 steering committee and was jointly assessed in retrospect by the GEF and UNDP. The assessment led to an exhaustive review of the activities implemented through this project in the different countries concerned : Albania, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, the Autonomous Palestinian Territories and Tunisia. The main lessons and recommendations formulated in the retrospective assessment and concerning the components already financed by the FGEF are as follows. Tunisia The project's overall objective was to conserve threatened species and their habitats, while emphasising of the fact that conserving wild fauna and flora is inherent to sustainable human development and strengthening the capacities of government and nongovernmental bodies to take issues relating to biodiversity conservation into consideration. The MWC (MedWetCoast) project in Tunisia may be credited with following results : It has brought significant improvements to the local environment and landscapes in several sites on the west coast ; It has preserved the integrity of ecosystems along the west coast at Oued el Abid, but less so at El Haouaria and Dar Chichou ; Biodiversity is improving in the lagoon sites concerned, although this cannot be stated with full certainty or accuracy ; It has strengthened the capacities of the Tunisian Agency for Coastal Protection and Management (APAL), as well as its credibility and motivation ; Site management capacities have been strengthened ; Capacities among several local partners have been strengthened and their attitudes have evolved in a positive way.
Morocco Project teams, both in the Moulouya and Beni Snassen sites, were able to carry out a large number of activities focusing on some of the threats to these sites. Furthermore, at national level, the project has contributed to legislative and institutional advances in several respects. National awareness of wetlands and coastal area issues has been strengthened. However, serious delays were caused by various weaknesses in project implementation. Consequently, its actions, results and impacts at national and local levels were limited. In the course of its two final years, the project became more operational on the ground, but it nevertheless suffered from serious failings, such as insufficient programming and inappropriate partnerships with local actors and beneficiaries through the piloting and coordination bodies. The assessment team nevertheless noted willingness among key partners to achieve the project's objectives. The next step will be to integrate the project's achievements into sustainable mechanisms. Should these partners undertake activities in the near future, there will be a real opportunity to strengthen the project’s impacts and sustainability.

) THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT Lebanon - improving energy efficiency in collective housing (MEDD) In 2006, on request from the FGEF, the AFD’s evaluation and capitalisation unit, in agreement with the MEDD, carried out a retrospective assessment of the energy efficiency project in the Lebanese construction sector. The assessment provided opportunities to suggest possibilities for operational and strategic positioning of the French cooperation system in the area of energy efficiency in intermediate countries. Overall, the retrospective assessment confirms the relevance of this pilot project and gives a positive appreciation of the activities conducted. Main lessons The project helped to improve tools and skills for designing collective housing, despite difficulties that are inherent to the local context and indeed to any pilot project. Adapting technical guides to the Lebanese context facilitated design and technology transfers and helped to introduce numerous innovations. Over and above these results, the considerable amount of intellectual production generated during the project ensured that project results were efficiently processed and disseminated in Lebanon and across the region. These results are consistent with those expected from a pilot activity, and open the way to the implementation of an energy efficiency policy in Lebanon. The assessment conducted by the AFD was presented and discussed during a briefing session organized on 1 June 2006 for representatives from the MEDD, the ADEME, the AFD’s operations division and the FGEF Secretariat. A detailed summary of the review is given in Annex n° 9 to the 1st section of the FGEF steering committee’s dossier dated 5 July 2006. The main conclusions are as follows : Overall, the project consisted of five programmes conducted in different climatic zones with five operators from the private, cooperative and social sectors. The different programmes were completed virtually without incident. The technical proposals were readily accepted.
The ingenious administrative and financial set-up of this project, with the ADEME and ALMEE, produced an organizational structure requiring only limited means Many factors tended to complicate administrative and budget monitoring. The financial set-up was the first between these partners and therefore needed to be finalized in detail to take specific characteristics into consideration on each side. Furthermore, an energy efficiency fund had been incorporated into the project. This fund was to be made up by reimbursing part of the additional costs of energy efficiency measures financed by the project, and would be used to fund new operations. Although this was a useful idea, it proved too complex for the small sums involved, and the fund was closed along with the project at the end of 2004. Intellectual production during the supporting programme was considerable. Major dissemination and communication activities were conducted through symposia and descriptive brochures, which were one of the project’s strong points The project strengthened tools and skills for the design of collective housing. Innovations were introduced in the area of district solar-heated domestic hot water. Design and technology transfers seemed to take place quite easily, once the teething problems affecting the first installation were corrected, proving it to be viable. The adaptation of technical guides to the Lebanese context combined international know-how with local practice, to make up a useful document for local professionals. Manufacturers of solar water heaters formed an association to help boost the market. Another association of designers and industrialists was also set up around the leaders of the pilot programme. The project is being disseminated in Lebanon and across the region. This assessment was published in the AFD’s “Ex-Post” series of evaluation and capitalisation studies (issue n° 1 – January 2007). It is to be broadly disseminated during the different conferences organized on this topic in the MENA region.

) THE FGEF SECRETARIAT The FGEF Secretariat is an organization attached to the Strategy Directorate of the French Development Agency (AFD). In 2006, members of the secretariat held the following posts : General Secretary, Engineer for Biodiversity, Engineer for International Waters, Land Degradation and Forests, Engineer for the Greenhouse Effect, Engineer for Biodiversity, Climate Change and Chemical Pollutants, Two management officers, Two assistants. The Secretariat’s tasks relate also to two specific missions : protection of the stratospheric ozone layer and implementation, with the support facility for activities implemented jointly (FAAEC) relating to Clean Development Mechanism – CDM and Joint Implementation - JI. Two consultants are called upon to carry out these missions. The Secretariat's operational activities are organized into three categories : 1. Contributions to the processing and monitoring of projects financed by the FGEF This is the Secretariat's primary and most important mission in support of FGEF member institutions. It involves examining projects, informing and consulting with the different partners in France (public, private and associations) and abroad (bilateral and multilateral), and functions relating to ex-ante appraisals, implementation monitoring and ex-post evaluations. 2. Participation in thematic or sectoral studies conducted in France on global environment topics The Secretariat is responsible for informing its partners in development assistance. It also participates in various bodies or initiatives (scientific committee of the Interministerial Task Force on Climate Change and Plan Bleu, for example).
48
Under the aegis of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the secretariat has contributed to preparatory work relating to the environment carried out by the Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development. Linking up with these activities is the Secretariat's participation in interministerial work on the climate and biodiversity conventions, and more broadly on national strategies for sustainable development and biodiversity. 3. Monitoring of multilateral financing mechanisms for the global environment This function concerns both Global Environment Facility and the Multilateral Fund for Implementation of the Montreal Protocol. The FGEF Secretariat handles monitoring of the GEF. This task ensures that the Secretariat team is well informed as to GEF strategies, programmes and projects and also enables it to argue its own points of view on the strength of ten years of experience. The Head of the Secretariat is the deputy for the Directorate General for the Treasury and Economic Policy representative to the GEF Council. This mission involves : - formulating opinions on the operational activities of the GEF, on its portfolio and strategy documents, its instruments, area of competence and organization; - preparing meetings of the GEF Council with the DGTPE, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry for the Environment, and examining projects and orientations submitted to it. Monitoring of the Multilateral Fund for Implementation of the Montreal Protocol on protection of the ozone layer is carried out in association with the Directorate General for the Treasury and Economic Policy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry for the Environment. This mission involves taking part in Executive Committee meetings (three times a year), monitoring operational activities and participating whenever required in meetings between the parties.
