The implication is clear. Climate change is a critical issue for Ethiopia’s youth constituting over half of the nation’s population and who likely continue to encounter the multifaceted adverse impacts of climate change in the foreseeable future. The National Background Study (GoE, 2017) further revealed that nearly 30 million (over 27%) of the nation’s total population is enrolled in 41,310 schools in the year 2014/15. In fact, 84% of the country’s total student population are in the primary and secondary schools that accommodate around half-a million teachers (519,567 teachers) in the year specified. Notwithstanding the untapped potential of Ethiopia’s formal Education system, however, the sector has not been fully engaged in the implementation of the country’s Climate Resilient Green Economy Strategy (CRGE). Among the most noticeable gaps is sub-standard level of integration of Climate Change Education (CCE) in the present formal education system of the country. Limited engagement of schools in the implementation of CRGE, lack of skilled human resource and deficiency in institutional capacity are also among the impediments. Strengthening CCE is a vital necessity to the success of Ethiopia’s drive to build a green and resilient economy by 2030 and beyond. It is in recognition to the above facts that the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) has adopted this CCE Strategy (2020-2030). The strategy is not only demand driven and country-owned but also strategically aligned with the national normative frameworks including the Growth and Transformation drive, Education sector and CRGE. . Likewise, it is with strong linkages with international frameworks that Ethiopia has ratified to promote climate change learning, the UNFCCC, the Kyoto protocol, the Paris Agreement and the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This Strategic Guidance and Priority Actions development process has been technically and financially supported by the United Nations Climate Change Learning (UNCC: Learn) initiative to Ethiopia. The strategizing and action plan formulation has been participatory and partnership oriented. It has undergone a four-stage process: i. the development of National Background Study; ii. field work to selected localities in four regions; iii. the formulation of Strategic Guidance and Priority Actions document through national consultative workshop; and iv. the endorsement of this full-fledged CCE Strategic Guidance and Priority Actions document of Ethiopia. This strategy document is based on the findings of the background report as well as the strategies and priority actions that were determined in the national consultative workshop held on November 24, 2016. Accordingly, this CCE Strategy covers the period 2017-2030 and shall serve as Ethiopia’s Comprehensive Framework for promoting CC Learning during the period. In terms of scope, the strategy encompasses three cycles of Strategic Guidance and Priority Actions: 1. First Cycle: 2017-2020; 2. Second Cycle: 2021-2025; and the 3. Third Cycle: 2026-2030. The first cycle National Strategic Guidance and Action Plan focuses on strengthening the integration of climate change education into the formal education system with special attention to primary and secondary levels of education. Whereas the detail strategies and priority actions are formulated for the first cycle period (i.e. 2017-2020), only the milestones and indicative intervention areas are included for the second and third cycles that cover the period 2021-2030. WIKIMEDIA COMMONS FLICKR/NEILJS Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-20309 CHAPTER 1 CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION IN ETHIOPIA STRATEGIC GUIDANCE FOR 1.1 BACKGROUND Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203010 In 2011 the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia inaugurated the Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) as a multi-sectoral initiative to protect the country from the adverse effects of climate change and build a green economy that will help to switch to a more sustainable development model by 2025. Moreover, the country has ratified the relevant international frameworks for combating climate change including those promoting climate change education as a key tool to combating climate change. In view of the significant level of support for the CRGE, including a large-scale capacity building programme, the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) engaged with the UN CC Learn programme with the purpose of strengthening human resources, climate change learning, skills development to advance the national climate change development agenda. Since 2011, UN CC: Learn engaged in climate change learning programmes with developing countries such Benin, Burkina Faso, the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Malawi, and Uganda. Starting from 2014, the programme has further expanded, following additional funding provided by the Government of Switzerland allowing support to be provided to several new countries including Ethiopia. The quest for integration of climate change education into the formal education is underpinned by several existing international frameworks including the UNFCCC, Kyoto protocol, ESD, the SDGs, and the 2015 Paris Agreement. This is further supported by practical experiences that hugely appreciate the key role of CC Education in combating climate change. For example, UNESCO has established the Climate Change Education for Sustainable Development (CCESD) programme, recognizing the crucial part that education and awareness raising have to play in rolling back the threat to a sustainable future that climate change represents. The priorities of the CCESD programme are to: 1. Strengthen the capacity of countries to provide quality climate change education for sustainable development at secondary school level. 2. Encourage and enhance innovative teaching approaches to integrate quality climate change education for sustainable development in school. 3. Raise awareness about climate change and enhance non-formal education programmes through media, networking and partnerships (UNESCO, 2010, p. 5). The focus of support from UN CC: Learn in Ethiopia will be on the formal education system, at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Following a UNITAR mission to Addis Ababa in July 2015, the Government has established a Technical Team drawn from the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change and the Ministry of Education as the main UN CC: Learn project coordinator. The UN CC: Learn project for Ethiopia, officially launched on the 15th September 2016, has commissioned a consultant for developing Background report, Strategy and Action plan for Strengthening Integration of CCE into the Education System of the country. The consultant, following the submission of the draft Background report on October, 2nd 201x conducted field visits to four regions. The tasks were for identifying and generating a collection of national climate change priorities as they relate to the education sector and relevant ongoing and planned capacity development initiatives, including a listing of key organizations which should be involved in climate change in the education sector, both at national and sub-national levels. Climate change education has far reaching implications if viewed against Ethiopia’s demographic and education sector statistics. Based on CSA (2013/14), 56% of Ethiopia’s total population falls under 22 years of age. Hence, significant proportion of the nation’s population will be experiencing the multi-faceted impacts of climate change at least in the foreseeable future. On the contrary, the demographic and educational sector statistics vividly indicate that climate change education is exceptionally relevant to Ethiopia. Accordingly, of the total population of the country’, one-third (37.9%) is in the school age population (i.e. 4-18 years) for primary and secondary levels of education. Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203011 Currently, nearly three in every ten of Ethiopia’s population is estimated to be enrolled at various levels of the formal education system1. In fact, 95% of the student population (28.8 million) is in the general education system i.e. primary and secondary schools. In terms of age distribution, 46.3% are under 15 years of age and 51% fall between 15 and 64 years. Yet, only 2.7% are 65+ old. This means nearly 25% of the Ethiopia’s population, which is by and large dominated by the young age, is at present enrolled in the school or educational institutes. As can be seen from the pyramids below, students in the general education account for 84% i.e. 86% in primary and 8% in secondary school; while only 6% are enrolled in tertiary education including in TVET, Teachers Training Colleges and Higher education institutes. Meanwhile, the enrolment pattern corresponds with the population distribution characterized by larger young age population with around 97% falling under 65 years of age. (Source: www.countrymeters .info, Ethiopia). Thus, promoting climate change education with the schools as entry points is a strategy that is also relevant to Ethiopia. The strategy brings about behavioral change directly targeting over a quarter of the population. The strategy also renders the opportunity to ensure broad-reach as the schools are available in every woreda of the country. Moreover, as the CCE strategy that goes beyond curricular review; it will meaningfully contribute to the success of the CRGE strategy implementation through strengthening the co-curricular activities in the schools. In fact, Ethiopia’s education sector in general and its curricular policy in particular remains far behind the expected level of integration of CC Education in the formal education system. Review of the syllabi and text books uncovered a sub-standard level of CC integration in the general education system of the country. In fact, weaker level of integration is observed at primary and secondary levels. Figure 2 depicts the result from desk level content analysis. Figure 1. Pyramids on Population and Education/Enrolment 1 Based 28.6% of Ethiopians enrolled in the school in the year 2014/15 (MoE 2016) and population size for 2016 (www.countrymeters .info, Ethiopia). 2 Age distribution doesn’t correspond to the population data for the age groups have different number of years. LEVEL VERY LOW OR LOW MODERATE HIGH OR VERY HIGH Primary schools 86.2% 11.5% 2.3% Secondary schools 78.5% 17.6% 3.9% Tertiary education 50.2% 35.4% 14.4% Average 71.6% 21.5% 6.8% Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203012 Figure 2. Pyramids on Population and Education/Enrolment Furthermore, the findings from field work corroborate the above result of content analysis. The assessment result, summarized in the table below, showed that the level of Integration of CC Education is described as very low or low as rated by 71.6%. Whereas 21.5% rated as moderate, only 6.8% rated it as high or very high level of integration. Accordingly, for the teachers and education sector experts, the level of integration is better off at the tertiary or post-secondary education (rated 3), the existing level of CC education at the general education (rated as 2.2) is even lower than the aggregate level of 2.5. However, the level of integration at secondary school level exceeds that at the primary level with average rates of 2.5 and 1.9; respectively. Primary [1-8] Secondary [9-12] Teachers Training Institutes Average for all Level of Integration-CCEE [1= Very lowly, 5= Very highly addressed] 5 4 3 2 1.9 2.52.5 3 Rating of Existing Level of Integration of CC learn by Levels of Education [N=98] The existing environmental protection related subjects lack practical-orientations. The extra curricular activities in the schools is very weak and fragmented. In a nutshell, consensus has been reached among the MoE at federal and sub-national levels on the need to strengthen the level of CCE integration in the curricula of the general education at all cycles/ grades in Ethiopia. However, there is lack framework document at the MoE and its sub national level replicas that serve as a framework for the MoE to address/ redress the gaps observed in the curricular policy and beyond. 1.2 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES The development of framework document has been agreed to be a priority action which is in cognizant of the urgent need for strengthening the integration of CCE in the formal education system on the one hand and lack of guideline for revision of the syllabi on the other. Cognizant of the above facts, Ethiopia has initiated the CC learning initiative as a key to unleash the untapped potential of the education sector towards realizing the country’s widely shared aspiration of becoming a climate resilient green economy. In that scope, Ethiopia has joined CC: Learn becoming one of the leaders from across the continent, along with other Africa UNCC: Learn countries. The country has been developing a National CC learning strategy and priority actions since August 2016. The background study unveiled the enabling environment features as well as a multitude of challenges/problems as well as served as input for the strategy and action plan formulation. Consensus was reached on the need for raising awareness and fostering enabling policy and institutional framework for CC education while appreciating the noticeable achievements. As per the project plan, a national consultative workshop was conducted on November 24, 2016, that brought together representatives from broad spectrum of stakeholders both at the federal and subnational levels. The consultative workshop aimed at stimulating a structured discussion on the background report thereby develop the country’s strategy for CC Education as well as the specific and priority measures for strengthening the integration of CC into the education sector. The stakeholders endorsed this strategy by identifying priority actions as the short and medium term initiatives towards the full integration of CC into the formal education system. The specific justifications for this priority action geared towards raising level of awareness and ownership of the strategy include: • CRGE strategy is not fully mainstreamed in the education sector and the sector is marginally represented in the institutional set-up for CRGE strategy at all levels. This is by and large attributed to the very low level of awareness about the role of CC education both within the education and the key sectors for CRGE strategy implementation. • The level of ownership of the present national CCE strategy is confined to few sector ministries as well as selected regions/localities of the country. To start with, the CCE strategy and action planning process, thus far, has involved only selected CC learn stakeholders from the federal and sub-national levels. In fact, only representatives from the MOE and MOEFCC have participated in the process; while other relevant ministries for the CRGE implementation have not yet been involved. Likewise, the sub national level participation is limited to four regions and eight woredas i.e. out of the total nine regions/two CAs and 800 woredas of the country. • Finally, the strategic importance of the intervention has been duly considered. Sensitization and awareness raising is foundational for broad-based participation and local-ownership of the strategy that are critical success factors for the successful implementation of its subsequent actions including resource mobilization, monitoring and evaluation. Therefore, the priority actions presented in the following sections are against the above background/country context as well as in accordance with the priorities identified and agreed in the stakeholders’ consultation. The strategic alignment was the key consideration in the CCE Strategizing and Priority Action formulation process; especially in determining the scope, aspirations and intervention areas in the short, medium and long-term periods of the strategy. Regarding the aspirations; the vision and mission of this CCE strategy are aligned to Ethiopia’s CRGE strategy, the country’s comprehensive development framework, and to the global 2030 agenda i.e. the SDGs that promote CC Learning. In terms of scope, the CCE Strategy covers the period 2017-2030 and shall serve as Ethiopia’s Comprehensive Framework for CC learning. The strategy encompasses three cycles of Strategic Guidance and Priority Actions i.e. the first cycle (2017 2020), the second cycle (2021-2025), and the third cycle (2026-2030). This is summarized in the figure below. Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203013 Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203014 Figure 3. The CCE Strategy in three cycles First Cycle of the Strategy 2017 - 2020 Second Cycle of the Strategy 2021 - 2025 Third Cycle of the Strategy 2026 - 2030 This first cycle National Strategic Guidance and Action Plan focuses on strengthening the integration of CCE into the formal education system with special attention to primary and secondary levels of education. Accordingly, the overarching goal and strategic objectives are developed in light of the vision and mission as well as within the scope of the UN CC: Learn initiative of strengthening CCE integration stated before. With special attention to primary and secondary levels of education, the strategy is expected to end by 2020, which is in line with the GTP-II period. Whereas the detail strategies and priority actions are formulated for the period (2017-2020), only the milestones and indicative intervention areas are included for the second and third cycles that cover the period 2021-2030. WIKIMEDIA COMMONS CHAPTER 2 STRATEGY 2017 - 2020 KEY ELEMENTS OF THE Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203015 2.1 ASPIRATIONS: VISIONS, MISSION AND GOAL Vision: To see environmentally conscious citizens created at all levels of education with proper knowledge, skills and attitude that enhance our country’s climate resilient and green economic development through climate change education Mission: Every school in Ethiopia becomes a champion of building a climate-resilient and green economy by 2030 through: • incorporating climate change into the school system, thereby bringing about behavioral change in the students, teachers and local community and producing informed and engaged citizens; • supporting school systems to serve as living laboratories thereby meaningfully engage in the implementation of the CRGE strategy, and • becoming one of the sources of knowledge and technical assistance for locally relevant and appropriate options of building green and resilient communities. Goal: By the end of 2020, the level of integration of CC education into the education system enhanced with greater and meaningful involvement of schools in the implementation CRGE. 2.2 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (SOS) AND INTERVENTION ACTIVITIES Four strategic objectives were identified that are geared towards the successful achievement of the mission and overreaching goal of this strategic plan i.e. the first cycle of Ethiopia’s comprehensive CCE strategy. These are to: • SO 1: facilitate the setting up of an enabling policy and institutional frameworks at national and sub national levels with a view to fostering sustainable CC learning; • SO 2: enhance the level of integration of CCE in the curricular of the formal education system of Ethiopia; • SO 3: support co/extra-curricular activities and furthering the integration of CCE among formal, non-formal and informal education systems, and • SO 4: mobilize resources and strengthen partnership for financing the implementation of the broader CC Education Strategy. The strategic objectives along with the corresponding major interventions are described below. This is in line with the priority actions agreed with the stakeholders for CC Learn in Ethiopia.

Then, detail action plans are provided for those PRIORITY ACTIONS FOR THE FIRST CYCLE 2017-2020 Summary of Short, Mid and Long-term Priorities for the Year 2017-2020 Priority interventions by activity results Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203024 SHORT-TERM PRIORITIES (FOR THE YEAR 2017) LONG-TERM PRIORITIES (2018-2020) • National Consultation Workshop • Publish and disseminate of the strategy and action plan document • Establish Steering Committee • Strengthen existing Technical Committee • M&E • Produce CC complementary teaching materials primary schools • Refresher trainings for primary and secondary school teachers • Resource Mobilization event • Sub-national level consultations • Design, produce and disseminate complementary teaching and learning materials for secondary schools • R&D on integration of climate change education • Strengthen school clubs and Green Academies program • Mainstream education sector into CRGE strategy implementation • Strengthening institutional setup • Strengthen level of integration into educational sector • Strengthen partnerships and resource mobilization • Results-based M&E FLICKR/IRENE Summary of the two Priority Actions for Implementation starting the year 2017 Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203025 This is a detail action plan for two of the priority actions that are meant to ensure the commencement of the strategy implementation starting 20173. These priority actions are selected in view of their strategic importance as well as availability of budget confirmed thus far. The first priority action relates to sensitisation and awareness raising intervention that falls under the first strategic objective of facilitating 3.1 PRIORITY ACTIONS FOR SHORT TERM PERIOD (2017) the setting up of an enabling policy and institutional frameworks at all levels with a view to fostering sustainable CC learning. The second action on the development of framework document for curricular review is meant for strengthening integration of CC learn in the curricular policy, which constitutes the priority interventions under the second strategic objective of Ethiopia’s CCE Strategy. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE INTERVENTION AREAS PRIORITY ACTIONS BY ACTIVITY RESULTS SO1: to facilitate the setting up of an enabling policy and institutional frameworks at all levels with a view to fostering sustainable CC learning; Sensitization/ Awareness Raising on the CC learn strategy Organize national consultative workshop Publish and Disseminate the CCE strategy and Priority actions to all stakeholders at federal and sub-national levels SO 2: to enhance the level of integration of CCE in the curricular of the formal education system of Ethiopia; Facilitate for the integration of CC learn in curricular policy at all levels of the formal education structure Develop a guideline document as input for future revisions of the curricula by MoE based on a content analysis of syllabi, text-books & teaching materials 3 It’s worthwhile mentioning that there are other important priority activities and associated actions including the development of Complementary CC Teaching/Learning Resources that are agreed to be among the top priorities for implementation during this period. However, the budget availability has not yet been confirmed apart from the reiterated commitments by MEFCC to allocate the required resource. Consequently, the remaining priority actions are also included in the main report assuming MEFCC to be responsible for co financing the UN-CCC Learn available budget for which UNDP/UNITAR accountable. Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203026 The participants of the national consultative workshop unanimously agreed on the need for sensitization and awareness raising activity as a top priority of the strategy they endorsed as a national framework for CC learning. Organizing consultative workshop, Publish and Disseminate the CCE strategic document to 2,000 persons in all regions/localities is the first priority action to be implemented in the year 2017. Aim and Objectives Aim: to raise awareness and ownership of the CCE strategic guidance and action plan document among all stakeholders at national and sub-national levels. Expected result: Create an enabling awareness environment for the implementation of the strategy in general and towards the successful integration of CC Learn in the formal education sector. Objectives: the priority action, in line of the purpose specified before, has the following objectives: 3.2 PRIORITY ACTION 1: SENSITIZATION AND AWARENESS RAISING ON THE CCE STRATEGY AND ACTION-PLAN ✓ To broaden the level of local ownership of the CC Education strategy at federal and sub-national levels and throughout the country thereby further deepening the achievements in the country-driven process,; ✓ ✓ To facilitate for future curricular review endeavors by the MOE and its sub national level replica; ✓ ✓ To pave the way for rigorous resource mobilization works in the future and at all levels; ✓ ✓ To raise the level of awareness among all stakeholders on the link between CCE and the CRGE strategy; ✓ ✓ To stimulate the greater and meaningful engagement of stakeholders at all levels in support of the CCE strategy implementation, monitoring and review.

Enhanced level of local ownership of the CC Education strategy at sub-national levels and throughout the country ✓ Stakeholders at Federal levels and from four regions and eight localities have been engaged in the CCE Strategy and action plan formulation process ✓ Stakeholders from all regions of the country will own the strategy. Raised the level of awareness among stakeholders on the link between CRGE and Education ✓ Very low level of awareness among schools, the public and other stakeholders (especially at sub-national levels) about the CRGE, the role of education sector in CRGE implementation as well as the benefits to the sector ✓ Minimal level of CRGE mainstreaming into the education sector at all levels; ✓ High level of awareness, knowledge, attitude and practice among all stakeholders at all levels ✓ The CRGE properly articulates the role of Education in adaptation and mitigation plans/strategies ✓ The institutional set-up incorporates the sector at all levels Ensured greater and meaningful engagement of stakeholders at all levels in support of the CCE strategy implementation, monitoring and review. ✓ Stakeholders largely from the Education and MoEFCC sectors actively participated ✓ Level of Participation of relevant UN Agencies, donors and CSOs is still very low ✓ All of the key sectors for CRGE implementation at all levels will participate ✓ Most of the relevant UN agencies, donors and CSOs will actively engage in the financing /implementation; monitoring and evaluation phases UNITAR/DAVID VON BLOHN Priority Action 1 – Target groups / institutions Priority Action 1 – Timeframe: the activity is proposed to be undertaken from April to June, 2017 Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203028 Target Group/Institution (s) A total of 2,000 individuals constitute the target/ beneficiaries of the priority action on sensitization/ awareness raising workshop and disseminating CCE strategy document. These shall be represented from the government (federal, 9 regions/2 CAs, and 800 woredas) and, UN Agencies/ Donors; CSOs/MBOs, Private sector, Media and other stakeholders. These are summarized in the following table: TARGET GROUP/INSTITUTION (S) BY CATEGORY OF STAKEHOLDERS NO.

Lead organizations: MoEFCC, MoE and MoFED Partners: • Line Ministries/Key CRGE implementing Sectors • Sub-national level replica of MoE and MoFED in all regions/CAs and 800 Woredas • UN Agencies (UNDP/ UNITAR); • CSOs, Media, and Private sector organisations like Chambers/Sectoral Associations N° ACTIVITIES TIMELINE 1.1 Organising Workshop: including venue arrangement, accommodation, travel and hiring a consultant April, 2017 1.2 Publish the CCE strategy in 2,000 copies and May, 2017 1.3 Disseminate to all stakeholders at national and subregional levels through the MOE/MEFCC channel June 2017 3.3 PRIORITY ACTION 2: FACILITATE THE INTEGRATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE LEARN IN CURRICULAR POLITY AT ALL LEVELS OF THE FORMAL EDUCATION STRUCTURE Priority Action 2 - Indicators of Success (baseline and target indicators) by Expected Results Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203029 Linkages and Sustainability The activities under the priority action are strongly aligned with the country’s CRGE strategy. Specifically, the activity enables the education sector to integrate CCE in the education sector, which is a role expected of the sector as clearly stated in the CRGE strategy mainstreaming documents. Besides, the activities augment the existing low level of awareness about the CRGE strategy in the education sector. Moreover, the activity facilitates for local ownership of the CCE strategy; hence lays the foundation for sustainability of CC learn. It will also serve as a basis for resource mobilization that contributing to the financial aspect of sustainability. Monitoring and Evaluation [M&E Framework of the Strategy that applies to all Actions] It is essential to establish a result-based monitoring and evaluation system for CCE strategy implementation at various levels in order to conduct regular Monitoring and Evaluation at various level by engaging stakeholders. At the Federal level, the technical committee, involving MoFED, which oversee the implementation of the CCE strategy should monitor and/or supervise progresses on a quarter, biannual and annual basis. At Regional level, a joint task force involving Bureaus of Environment, BoE, BoFEDs should undertake monitoring activities on a quarterly basis. Similarly, at Localities level a committee comprising of Principals, Teachers, Woreda/city Offices of Education, Woreda/city environmental protection offices, Woreda Finance Offices and other stakeholders should engage in the supervision of the implementation of CCE strategy on a monthly basis. It is critical to document and disseminate lessons learned from the various monitoring and evaluations processes. It is also helpful to conduct national consultative workshop for the review of the Strategic plan and Activities implemented during the strategic plan period to get feedback and comments to further improve or revise the strategy. It is necessary to undertake Mid-term and Final evaluations by Consultant to evaluate performance and facilitate for the second cycle CCE Strategy. The results of the end term evaluation of this strategy will pave way for the development of the second-phase of the Strategy. It is also helpful to facilitate the scaling up of the CC Learn initiative/implementation to the subsequent strategy and action plan. Aim: To enhance the level of CCE integration in the curricula of Ethiopia’s formal education The objectives of the priority action include: 1. To produce a guideline for future revisions of the curricula by MoE based on a rigorous content analysis of the syllabi, text-books and teaching materials; 2. To facilitate for the endorsement of the framework document at national level thereby disseminate the guideline document for relevant curricular experts at federal and sub-national levels. OUTPUT INDICATORS BASELINE (NOVEMBER 2016) TARGET (END OF 2017) Activity 1.1 Result Indicator: By the end of 2020, CCE adequately integrated in the curricular policy of Ethiopia. Developed Guideline as input for MoE in revisiting syllabi, textbooks and teaching materials ✓ No guideline available for CCE integration at primary and secondary levels ✓ Guideline readily available for use by MoE at primary and secondary schools Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203030 Target Group/Institution (s) Overall, the formal education structure including MOE and its regional bureaus shall be the targets of this priority action. In thus regards, a total of 1,120 individuals constitute the target/ beneficiaries of the priority action on sensitization/awareness raising. These shall be represented from the government, UN Agencies, Educational institutions, Youth/School clubs, CSOs, media and other stakeholders. These are summarized in the following table: Priority Action 2 - Target groups /Institutions TARGET GROUP/INSTITUTION (S) BY CATEGORY OF STAKEHOLDERS NUMBER OF PERSONS Curriculum development and implementation Experts at Federal MOE and its replicas in all regions and localities ( 11 regions and 800 woredas) 850 Syllabi, text-books and teaching materials of the five carrier subject matters and six cross-cutting ones for all grades at a primary and secondary level ..

Linkage with broader CRGE is clear as the intervention creates favorable behavioral environment among the students and their communities. More importantly, the activities bridge the gaps in the existing curricular policy and serve as stepping stones towards the full integration of CCE in the curricula. As the complementary materials will ultimately be incorporated by MoE in times of revising the textbooks and teachers guide; sustainability is guaranteed. UNITAR/DAVID VON BLOHN CHAPTER 4 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203032 UNITAR/DAVID VON BLOHN Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203033 The following overall implementation approaches/ strategies are recommended to ensure effective, efficient and sustainable implementation of the strategy: • Promoting local ownership of the strategy and Priority Actions in the implementation, monitoring and review phases of is a critical success factor. This enables to further deepen the noticeable achievement, thus far, in developing this country-driven national climate change education strategy and action plan document. Thus, broad-based awareness raising/sensitization activities are imperative including the publication and dissemination of the strategy and IEC materials etc. Moreover, encouraging the awareness among members of parliaments and the leadership is a key to promoting visibility and political engagement. This will ultimately lead to public funds being leveraged through the Ministry of Education. Media is also instrumental towards enhancing the awareness and sensitization. • Increasing national awareness and promoting visibility and political engagement. Enhanced engagement of parliamentarians and politicians is so instrumental for the success of the CCE strategy. The more they buy into the strategy, they can make immense contributions to public funds being leveraged through the MoEFCC. In this regards, use of media with sessions for politicians or leadership is a prudent strategy. • Scaling/Scoping-up approach will be followed considering the nature of interventions, availability of resources and impact/result orientations. In this regards, geographic scope of some of the interventions like pretesting of CC learn materials during the 5-year strategic period will be confined to FLICKR/DAVID STANLEY Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203034 a total of 22 pilot localities i.e. one urban and one rural areas from each of the eleven regions including the two city administrations. However, the priority action of developing guideline for curriculum review is a national level intervention during the strategy period. Meanwhile, only primary and secondary schools will be the principal targets of the strategy on strengthening integration of CCE. Gradually; the interventions will be scaled-up to reach tertiary education including teachers’ training colleges, TVETs and Universities. • The CCE Strategy should be conceived as an integral part of the country’s CRGE strategy. Appreciating the linkage and complementarities, resource mobilization and partnership building initiatives for CCE strategy should be aligned with existing frameworks; for instance, with the CRGE Facility at MoFEC. • Comprehensiveness, long-term, sustainability and impact-orientations should be essential features of this strategy that ultimately aimed at supporting the successful implementation of the CRGE. In this regards, effective implementation of this strategy is a function of capacity development interventions with a fruitful mix of augmenting system, institutional and individual level capacities for CC learn. Besides, interventions such as raising awareness; developing and distributing teaching and learning resources; providing earmarked financial and material support for schools; and building the human resource and institutional capacity of the selected schools constitute the strategy’s focus during the short to med term period. Likewise, providing evidence-based input for the MoE is a priority action that facilitates the long-term result of curricula policy revision. In terms of the long-term aspects, the strategy also envisages to bridge the gas observed in the policy and institutional arena for effective CC learning during the strategic period and beyond. Moreover, ensuring the policy-wise, financial, technical and institutional dimensions of sustainability remain key considerations throughout the strategy implementation phase. • Finally; developing collaborations among stakeholders at all levels is essential to enhance CC education. Equally important, efficient and effective coordination and management; transparent, informed and participatory decision making process and accountability will be the guiding principles dictating the implementation of this strategy and action plan. UNITAR/DAVID VON BLOHN Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203035 4.1 FINANCING THE STRATEGY A total of USD 2,222,109 is required to finance this five-year strategy. While the resource currently available from UNDP/UNITAR can be used to commence the strategy implementation, rigorous resource mobilization activities should be planned and implemented to ensure the proper implementation of the strategy. In this regards, MoEFCC in collaboration with MoFEC should drive the process of ensuring that the strategy is well supported financially and technically by the federal government, international donors and UN agencies. In particular, the strategy should be aligned with the CRGE Facility at MoFEC. Specifically, resources allocated for public awareness raising and CC education related interventions that are embedded in the CRGE can partly be used to finance the CCE strategy. Budget allocation by the Federal and regional government need to be secured as early as possible as to start the implementation of the CCE strategy as of January 2017. The experience gained in HIV/AIDS clubs and initiatives in schools through a 2% of school grant funding is an appropriate strategy that could be replicated to the CCE strategy. It is also essential to mobilize resources from other sources other than the government. The resource mobilization and efficient utilization strategy will ensure that in-school CC initiatives are sustainable. The active engagement and support of governmental and non governmental organisations, the private sector, and development partners is critical to financing the plan. Efforts to mobilize resources should be exerted at all levels: from the local schools to city administrations, woredas, zone and regional levels. The UNDP/UNITAR, in addition to co-financing the initial activities of the plan, should be engaged in providing further technical support as well as play key coordinating roles in soliciting resources from like-minded agencies like the UNESCO that is with vested interest and mandate in CC learning. 4.2 MONITORING AND EVALUATION FRAMEWORK It is essential to establish a result-based monitoring and evaluation system for CCE strategy implementation at various levels in order to conduct regular Monitoring and Evaluation at various level by engaging stakeholders. At the Federal level, the technical committee, involving MoFEC, which oversees the implementation of the CCE strategy should monitor and/or supervise progresses on a quarterly, biannually and annually basis. At Regional level, a joint task force involving Bureaus of Environment, BoE, BoFEDs should undertake monitoring activities on a quarterly basis. Similarly, at Localities level a committee comprising of Principals, Teachers, Woreda/City Offices of Education, Woreda/City environmental protection offices, Woreda Finance Offices and other stakeholders should engage in the supervision of the implementation of CCE strategy on a monthly basis. It is critical to document and disseminate lessons learned from the various monitoring and evaluations processes. It is also helpful to conduct national consultative workshop for the review of the Strategic plan and Activities implemented during the strategic plan period to get feedback and comments to further improve or revise the strategy. It is necessary to undertake Mid-term and end -term evaluations by Consultant to evaluate performance and facilitate for the second cycle CCE Strategy. The results of the end term evaluation of this strategy will pave way for the development of the second-phase of the Strategy. It is also helpful to facilitate the scaling up of the CC Learn initiative/implementation to the subsequent strategies and Priority Actions. FLICKR/DAVID STANLEYFLICKR/DAVID STANLEY Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203036 4.3 SUSTAINABILITY Ensuring the policy-wise, institutional, technical and financial dimensions of sustainability is a key to the success of Ethiopia’s CC learn initiatives both during and beyond the strategy period. To start with, the achievement of the system level enabling environment envisaged in the strategy is essential for policy-wise and institutional sustainably of the initiative. Specifically, the positive changes expected in the CRGE strategy and education sector policies and institutional set-up are of paramount importance. Moreover, broadening the level of ownership of the strategy among broader spectrum of stakeholders and at all levels of the government tiers is a critical success factor. Likewise, stakeholders’ participation throughout the strategy implementation, monitoring and review is a key issue to guarantee sustainability. In this regards, the level of participation of CC Learn actors starting the launching phase of the initiative should further be strengthened. Besides, the sensitization and awareness raising related interventions not only serve as a phase-in strategy but also are crucial for keeping the present momentum towards motivating enhanced and meaningful engagements of the stakeholders. In terms of the technical sustainability, establishment and capacitating of steering and technical committees at all tiers of the government is a salient determinant. Finally, financial sustainably is a vital necessity. Supporting co-curricular activities is imperative as empowering the schools will likely results in continuity of expected results without dependence on external supports. Government’s incremental allocation of budget coupled with mobilizing resources from diversified sources is also mandatory for continually financing CC learn initiatives of Ethiopia. UNITAR/DAVID VON BLOHN Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203037 The successful implementation of this strategic plan rests on how the assumptions made will hold true in the planning period. It also important that the envisaged risks for the realization of the plan need to be mitigated by appropriate mechanisms. The analysis of assumptions that underpin proposed project activities is key to the success of the project. Ensuring that the assumptions are clear and well-founded can avoid unintended negative impacts, and can improve the sustainability of project results. Accordingly, it is necessary that assumptions should be examined as related to FLICKR/DAVID STANLEY impacts of project activities on different levels. Risks to the project success may include both wrong assumptions and issues that fall outside the influence of the project, but which affect its success. The risks inherent in any of the assumptions underlying the project design not holding true. In some cases, this may require revision of the assumption. In others, it may involve scaling back expectations and/ or revising strategies to achieve the results to minimise the risk. 4.4 RISKS AND MITIGATION STRATEGY Assumptions/Risks and Mitigation Mechanisms Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203038 ASSUMPTION RISK MITIGATION MECHANISM The economic development of the country will continue and will provide the necessary budget for implementation of the strategy Reduced economic development may limit the availability of financial resources for the project activities Prioritize activity with high impact and continually seek additional sources of finance for the implementation of the strategic plan The encouraging policy for mitigating Climate change at global and national level will continue The Changes in CC policy at global level towards less pessimistic approach to CC Adoption of measures that illustrate CC is a real threat to our globe, and not hypocrisy. Enhanced engagement of parliamentarians and politicians is instrumental to reinforce the national buy-in to the CC agenda and the broader CRGE strategy. All stakeholders are fully aware of the extent of the CC problem and exert concerted effort to implement the CCE strategy Dissonance between the rhetoric and the practices in mitigation of CC by stakeholders Strengthen institutional set up and collaboration mechanism to sustain effort in mitigation of CC The motivation of school management , teachers and students to actively engage in CC mitigation will continue Lack of motivation by the key actors in CCE strategy Strengthen the clubs in schools by providing incentives CC remain a priority agenda in all spheres of sustain able development Implementation of CCE strategy as an isolated activity and lack of mainstreaming of CC Alignment of CCE strategy to national and regional level planning and strengthen institutional set up Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-203039 ANNEXES OUTPUTS AND INDICATORS BY STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES PLANNED ACTIVITIES AND ASSOCIATED ACTIONS PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOR YRS. 2017 to 2020 RESPONSIBLE PARTY PLANNED BUDGET YR 1 YR 2 YR 3 YR 4 FUNDING SOURCE BUDGET DESCRIPTION AMOUNT (USD) Strategic Objetive-1 Facilitate the setting up of an enabling awareness, policy and institutional frameworks at all levels with a view to fostering sustainable CC learning; Output 1.1 Level of awareness and local ownership of the CC Learn strategy and action plan raised laying the foundation for organizing efforts and mobilizing resources to the successful implementation.
