3. WORK PLAN OVERVIEW This Work Plan presents the goals, objectives, and expected results for the US-Asia LEDS program. As mentioned above, in June 2014, USAID/RDMA commissioned an external review team, led by QED, to conduct an MTE of the USAID LEAD Program. The objective of this evaluation, which was completed in January 2015, was to improve the performance of the second half of the program and to recommend necessary adjustments that would enhance the measurement of outcomes when the program is complete. This work plan includes revised approaches and activities that respond to the MTE recommendations that were accepted by RDMA and the LEAD program, and also to directives of RDMA that emerged during discussions of the MTE recommendations. It supersedes the Asia LEDS Program Integrated Work Plan FY 2015 marked as “Draft – Provisional, “which received Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) approval through April 30, 2015. The work plan structure is based on the USAID LEAD program contract, which lists seven specific tasks. Because ICF is required to document performance on a task-by-task basis, it has chosen to align the US- Asia LEDS program work plan’s integrated structure with the tasks in its USAID LEAD program contract. 3.1 Goals, Objectives, and Desired Successes (“Strategic Statement”) As defined by USAID/RDMA in the USAID LEAD program’s SOW, USAID’s overall goal for LEDS in Asia is to establish the enabling conditions for achieving sustainable, low-emission, climate-resilient development in Asia’s developing countries. The US-Asia LEDS program will focus on achieving the following specific objectives: • Strengthening human and institutional capacity to develop and implement GHG accounting, developing GHG markets, and applying low-emission development policies, plans, and strategies; • Strengthening tools, policies, and systems for GHG accounting and low-emission decisionmaking; • Promoting a viable private sector GHG accounting services industry as well as market-based platforms for facilitating low-emission investments; • Strengthening and establishing regional platforms to build lasting institutional capacity, networks, and mechanisms to share, replicate, and enhance good practices within the region and to link them to international best practices; and • Playing a key role in the Asia region in ensuring the success of US Government efforts to support the EC-LEDS initiative and the LEDS Global Partnership that directly respond to the Agency Priority Goal (APG) for Global Climate Change (GCC). The USAID LEAD team, NREL, USEPA, and USFS will work to ensure this integrated support remains complementary and consistent with the USAID/RDMA Regional Environment Office (USAID/RDMA/REO) approach to implementing regional activities in Asia, which is to partner with regional institutions and networks in Asia to catalyze transformative change across Asia. In addition, through its regional environmental platform strengthening activities, the team members will support RDMA’s efforts to build capacity of USAID missions, local partners, and institutions to achieve stronger development outcomes. 6 US-Asia LEDS Program Work Plan
