1. Clean Air for Smaller Cities (€ 2.5 mil)


The Framework• ASEAN Initiative on Environmentally

Sustainable Cities (AIESC) – 2003/05• ASEAN Working Group on Environmentally

Sustainable Cities (AWESC) (clean water, clean soil, clean air)

• ASEAN Secretariat requested the project from German Government in 2006

• The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned GTZ to execute the project in 2008


ObjectiveSmall and medium-sized cities are increasingly able to

develop and implement measures to improve the air quality

Indicators• At least 10 cities (150,000 – 1.5 million inhabitants) have a

Clean Air Plan (CAP) • At least 7 cities are implementing CAPs

Project PeriodJanuary 2009 – December 2012

Input from German Government€ 2.5 mill.


The Outputs

• Review/revision of existing or establishment of new Clean Air Action Plans

• Facilitation of public participation• Support in the implementation and monitoring of

the Action Plans• Identification of co-benefits with climate change

mitigation• Support in finding financial assistance through

e.g. Development Banks (definition of “packages”)


7 countries participate: Cambodia, Indonesia, PDR Lao, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam



The Road Maps towards a Clean Air Plan

• Preliminary analysis of the air quality in the city• Preliminary analysis of the sources of air

pollution• Assessment of the potential for public

participation• Development of the lay-out and the table of

content for a clean air plan (CAP) • Determination of the required steps to establish a

CAP (ca. 1 year)


Key Issues of Road Maps and GTZ Support

• Development of stateholders’ visions and goals• Refinement of air quality monitoring data• Establishment of preliminary emissions inventories• Strengthening of stationary sources emissions

enforcement• Immediate actions for urban transport improvements• Integration of urban development and transport

Our Approach – Our Philosophy

• The ownership is with the cities• Maximum use of national and local know-how• High degree of public participation in planning

and implementation• Focus on the cities’ possibilities

“The low-hanging-fruits approach”


• Counterpart Organisation: ASEAN Secretariat• Executing Agency: Secretariat of AWGESC• National and international city associations• Cooperation with Clean Air Initiative for Asian

Cities (CAI Asia Centre)• Asian Institute of Technology• City Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA) -

founded by German Government (BMZ) and ADB in Februar 2007

• Others, such as World Bank, ADB, EU, KfW, other donors

Cooperation and Alliances


2. Sustainable Port Development (€ 2.5 mil.)


Project Objectives:

Two Phases of three years

Phase-I objective (after 3 years): Selected ports comply with relevant international environmental and safety standards and conventions

Overall objective (after 6 years):Selected ports have improved the quality and efficiency of their environmental and safety management systems.


Important indicators:• Relevant international standards have been

incorporated in port regulations (national legislations to be adopted accordingly, if required)

• Standards are enforced (verified through Audits)• The Personnel has accumulated relevant know-how to

enforce prevailing standards• The environmental and safety systems are certified by

accredited bodies• Negative environmental impacts are reduced• The accident rate in ports has been reduced


Three relevant project elements:

• Adoption of national legislation to international standards and regulations

• Strengthening of enforcement capacities of participating ports, including personnel abilities and procedures

• Organisation, management and implementation of training measures at regional and local level


Results (Impacts)

• The environmental impacts and risks and the accident rates in the participating ports are reduced

• The working conditions and welfare of port personnel and the quality of live in the surrounding port cities are increased

• The competitiveness and attractiveness of the ports have improved


Participating Ports:

At least one port per country: • Cambodia (Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh)• Indonesia (Jakarta and Surabaya)• Malaysia (opern)• Philippines (Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro)• Thailand (Laem Chabang and Bangkok)• Vietnam (Sai Gon)• (Brunei Darussalam most welcome to participate at

own costs)


• Assessment of safety, health & environmental (SHE) management performance (completed)

• Development and implementation of SHE Management Systems in accordance with PSHEM Code of PEMSEA (2010 – 2012)

• Development of new Port SHE Regulations in accordance with international standards (2010)

• Development of Port Waste Management Plans (2010)

• SHE introduction and management training

Project Activities in the Ports of Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro


3. Energy Efficiency and Climate ChangeMitigation in the Transport Sector

(€ 2 mill. – requested by ASEAN Sec)


The Project Objective

To limit the increase and ultimately reduce transport related fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions through higher energy efficiency of transport systems in the ASEAN region

Indicators:•An overall strategy on climate and transport is agreed by the ASEAN Member States by 201X (timeframe still to be defined)•Implementation guidelines are developed and adopted by ASEAN Member States by 201X•Implementation of the strategies on climate and transport has started in at least in three ASEAN Member States by end of 201X and in 4 more until one year later.•Up to four pilot measures for sustainable transport examples are under implementation by end of 201X.

The Regional Training Approach


The Reality

• Most AQM courses were developed and delivered by experts from Europe and the United States

• Capacity building for delivery of training itself did hardly take place, no “home” for training

• Donor-financed AQM training activities usually one or two-time events, no follow-up, no evaluation of impact

• High “instructor-dependency"• Lack of systematic needs assessment, course

development and delivery• But external funds for training will most likely

always be available…..



The VisionTraining in clean air issues in the ASEAN Region is

efficient, effective and sustainably organised

Call for a systematic training approach, e.g. TRAINMAR, following the UNCTAD Training Development Guidelines


The Regional Training ApproachThe TRAINMARMethod



Our Approach in Detail•Develop a systematic needs analysis, based on a target-oriented training approach•Eliminate “instructor-dependency”•Provide high quality, "pre-fabricated" training material by specialised course developers•Deliver training by experts trained as instructors, not by teachers and professors

•Give the regional training system a branding e.g.“TRAIN for Clean Air”



Our Approach in Detail (2)•Establish a regional hub for course development and national networks of training centres•Create a regional training system with clearly defined "Building Blocks", i.e. topics which could be developed independently from others•Develop the basic Building Blocks with inputs from the GTZ•Approach other donors to join in to finance the development of further Building Blocks •Allow interested donors to finance delivery of courses properly announced in an annual training programme



Present Activities for Training in the Region:•Course Developer Workshop – Bangkok December 2009•Training Needs Analysis – February 2010•Priority courses to be developed – as of April 2010

• General AQ management for decision makers of smaller cities (1 day)

• Emission inventories for smaller cities (2-3 days)• Air quality monitoring for smaller cities (2-3 days)• General AQM for NGOs in smaller cities (2-3 days)• Campaign planning and implementation for NGOs in

smaller cities (2-3 days)•First course deliveries October 2010
