PAGE South Africa Indicative National Logframe(Version: Jan 2016) South Africa has made great strides in adopting green economy strategies, with the hallmark adoption of the Green Economy Accord in 2011 infusing significant political support to a new, multi-stakeholder approach. Green economy initiatives are abound and Government resources have backed investments in a range of sectors and provinces. However, real implementation rates and measurable progress has been hampered by parallel programmes with untapped potential for synergy and effective coordination. This is partly due to insufficient technical and managerial capacity on green economy tools and strategies. PAGE offers South Africa a unique set of tools, expertise and networks that would respond to the diverse and rapidly evolving opportunities for leveraging systemic change. The identity and purpose of “green economy” needs will be sharpened and better demonstrated. Across-the-board monitoring, assessing and knowledge sharing will become instrumental for more convergence on green approaches, as well as gaining perspectives on trade opportunities and challenges, and the distributional impact of greening on jobs, income and gender equality. PAGE intends to contribute to better policy coordination and help deepening the engagement of the private sector and civil society organizations. PAGE can help improving human capacities in national and provincial Government institutions and collaborating partners. The overall goal of PAGE for 2016 is thus to increase the national visibility and a broader ownership across Government institutions and the private sector to implement effective green economy strategies. For 2017-2019 a larger and more specific PAGE programme will be developed and validated during the year. The PAGE results framework has been aligned with the support GIZ is providing for PAGE focusing primarily on financial services and the promotion of green investment.
