It will address both macro-, meso- and micro-levels by improving the capacities and framework conditions for a green transformation, by promoting concrete green practices and services in selected intervention areas in agriculture and tourism, and by strengthening the awareness-raising capacities of key stakeholders to further encourage this green transformation both in the intervention areas and beyond. To ensure the long-term sustainability of these efforts, the emphasis will now be on working through key stakeholders in the country. Whereas in the current phase of the programme many activities are still implemented and co-ordinated by the programme itself, in the new phase it will be local institutions, organisations, associations and businesses who will 'do the work', with the programme focusing on building their capacity to do so."}, {"bbox": [83, 721, 1147, 1095], "category": "Text", "text": "A key element of **Green Policies (Output 1)** will be the institutionalisation of the climate-sensitive Green Economic Modelling (GEM) process, including building local capacity to use, update and improve the model and establishing structures and processes for its application in evidence-based policymaking and fostering its use to moderate processes for economic transformation and paradigm shifts (e.g., stronger inclusion of climate data, use for UN System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA), true costing schemes in value chains). As the second National Green Economic Programme will be in place by the time the new phase starts, another element will be supporting its implementation, most notably by actively involving the private sector and civil society in monitoring its progress. Capacity building of public, private and civil society entities to partake in public private dialogue processes will also take place, as will be the establishment of structures, processes and capacities for the facilitation of such dialogues. A crosscutting theme throughout these approaches will be how holistic criteria for value addition, wellbeing and sustainable development can be together with local stakeholders further developed and operationalized for decision-making. Policy advice under Output 1 will also address the issue of maladaptation, as it is a veritable risk mainly due to a lack of flexible, multi-sectoral, inclusive and long-term planning regarding the impacts of climate change of the Government of Kyrgyzstan."}, {"bbox": [83, 1119, 1147, 1254], "category": "Text", "text": "In the field of Green Finance, the programme will support key stakeholders and other donors in moving towards the establishment of a green taxonomy.

In agriculture the aim will be to further promote and increase the social, economic and environmental sustainability of conventional production systems targeting local and regional markets. The selection of value chains will be done during the inception phase, priority being given to the further consolidation of the value chains of the Integrated Rural Development Programme (in particular wheat, onions, maize). The interventions in the value chains will focus on fostering sustainable and climate-sensitive agricultural practices and the strengthening of local capacities for verification and traceability mechanisms (e.g., for less chemical use). For relevant regulatory changes a strong link to interventions on policy level will be established. Beyond these value chain development activities, an approach for the promotion of paid agricultural services combined with revolving funds for the provision of inputs and equipment will be implemented in selected agricultural clusters, again benefitting from the experiences gained and networks set up thus far."}, {"bbox": [1041, 1637, 1158, 1661], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 11 of 33"}]
