The Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) is a set of country-driven activities leading to the identification, prioritization and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The TNA project is implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme and the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, supported by UNOPS, on behalf of the Global Environment Facility.
The current Global TNA project, deriving from window (i) of the Strategic Program on Technology Transfer, is designed to support countries to carry out improved Technology Needs Assessments within the framework of the UNFCCC. The project supports countries that wish to update an earlier TNA as well as those embarking on a TNA for the first time. The purpose of the TNA project is to assist participant developing country Parties identify and analyse priority technology needs, which can form the basis for a portfolio of environmentally sound technology (EST) projects and programmes to facilitate the transfer of, and access to, the ESTs and know-how in the implementation of Article 4.5 of the UNFCCC Convention.
To support and facilitate the TNA process, national contractors are being recruited for the execution of activities in relation to climate change mitigation in the Transport sector under the direct supervision of the TNA Coordinator. The contractor shall provide technical services for the assessment of technology needs for climate change mitigation activities in Bahrain and shall provide the following outputs:
• A portfolio of technologies for the sector
• A Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) report describing the prioritised technologies for mitigation in the Transport sector including the process followed and the rationale for the latter. UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre will provide a template for the TNA report.
• A Barrier Analysis and Enabling Framework (BA&EF) report on existing barriers for the prioritised mitigation technologies and enabling framework to facilitate the deployment and diffusion of technology priorities. UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre will provide a template for the BA&EF report.
• A Technology Action Plan (TAP) report for mitigation, including 2-4 project ideas for the implementation of the TAP, and one policy brief per technology taken to the TAP in the format agreed for the project with UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre will provide a template for the TAP report and policy briefs. Field trips and trips to attend training and capacity-building workshops will occur.
