Brief summary of the request

A 2016 inventory for Cambodia’s transport sector shows that GHG emissions stood at 4,752.35 Gg of CO2eq. – well over previous projections – with an average annual growth of 12.8% per year. Gasoline motorcycles dominate Cambodia’s national vehicle market, although the total cost of ownership of electric(e-) motorcycles including lifetime operating costs is often lower than that of gasoline motorcycles.

To support the adoption of e-motorcycles in Cambodia, this Readiness project will address gaps and barriers around (1) limited information on e-motorcycles, (2) a low level of trust in the quality of e-motorcycles among consumers, and (3) high prices of e-motorcycles. This Readiness proposal therefore seeks GCF Readiness funding to complete a market assessment and develop a business case and concept note for a sustainable Electric Vehicle support program for Cambodia. It will support the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to promote green mobility and avoid rapidly growing GHG emissions in the transport sector by deploying electric(e-) motorcycles in selected cities of Cambodia.

The assessment conducted under this Readiness proposal aim to enable the RGC to make informed decision about the transition from a fossil fuel-based transport sector to an emission minimizing transport sector with a focus on motorcycles as the starting point for the transition. The vast majority of vehicles in Cambodia are motorcycles: In 2016, of the total 3.2 million registered vehicles, 2.6 million vehicles were motorcycles. From 2015 to 2016, the number of registered vehicles grew by ca. 14% with motorcycles growing at an even higher rate.

This Readiness project will help inform the decisions of the RGC regarding electric(e)-mobility by analyzing and proposing the potential opportunities for accelerating the transition to e-motorcycles. The project deliverables will include:

• Situation analysis of the transport sector in Cambodia;

• Market and technical assessment for e-motorcycles;

• Economic, environmental, and social assessment for electrification of motorcycles;

• Policy and regulatory gap analysis to facilitate the deployment of e-motorcycles;

• Development of a financing mechanism for the deployment of e-motorcycles;

• Assessment of education and communication needs; and

• An investment project concept note that builds on the above assessment results.

Direct project beneficiaries are the National Council for Sustainable Development, the

Ministry for Public Works and Transport, the Ministry of Economy and Finance and

Selected City Municipalities. Indirect beneficiaries are consumers and clean transport

businesses, especially SMEs

The economic, environmental, and social assessment will include options to promote

equal opportunities to access technology and decent green jobs created, particularly for

women and youth. Equal opportunities are linked in particular to a) access to

motorbikes; b) jobs related to e-motorcycles such as sales, charging and maintenance;

and c) ensuring equal opportunities to access financial services, overcoming any

potential barriers facing women-led SMEs in particular.

This Readiness proposal builds especially on the activities of the first Readiness project

to establish the no-objection procedure, to support a national candidate DAE and to

develop a country programme. The project will also draw on the recent “Assessment of

Regulatory and Fiscal Policies for Road Transport Vehicles in Cambodia” by Clean Air

Asia and complement it with analysis related to non-fiscal policy gaps and options to

stimulate e-motorbikes. The project will also be executed in synergy with the UNDP

“Sumai” project which focusses on data management and regulation for clean transport.

2019) 3 Ministry of Mines and Energy of Cambodia, Cambodia National Energy Statistics 2016 (2016)

2. BACKGROUND

Climate change context

The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has internationally and nationally committed to addressing climate change and submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) ahead of COP 21 in Paris in 2015, proposing an emission reduction of 27% (3.1 million tonnes) based on the BAU (11.6 million tonnes) by 2030. The expected reduction in the transport sector is 0.39 million tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through a combination of various mitigation measures, including the increased use of electric vehicles1.

In 2000, the transport sector accounted for less than 3% of national GHG emissions, with 709 Gg of CO2eq. While a fully updated national GHG inventory is not yet available, a 2016 inventory for the transport sector shows that GHG emissions stood at 4,752.35 Gg of CO2eq. – well over previous projections – with an average annual growth of 12.8% per year.

Cambodia’s transport sector

Cambodia, a Least Developing Country (LDC), has seen its GDP grow by 7.7% annually between 1995 and 2018. This has been paralleled by increasing urbanization with a total population at ca. 16 million and an estimated 23% urbanization rate in 2017. According to the World Bank, Cambodia's pace and scale of urbanization is likely to rise to reach an urbanization rate of 36% in 2050. Phnom Penh, the country’s capital, has witnessed significant urban growth over the last 10 years, and now has close to 2 million residents.

With strong economic growth in recent years, the number of vehicles has been growing rapidly in Cambodia. In 2016, more than 3.2 million vehicles were registered; with motorcycles accounting for 2.7 million vehicles – or 84% - of the total registered vehicles. Vehicle registration has grown at a rate of 14% from 2015 to 2016. Transforming the growing fleet of motorcycles into low-emission motorcycles will contribute to achieving Cambodia’s (I)NDC.

Figure 1: GDP and Registered Vehicles in Cambodia (1997 to 2015)2

In 2015, the transport sector represented over 45% of final energy consumption in Cambodia, entirely from imported petroleum products. As there is no domestic fuel source, the country fully relies on imports. Considering that much of the petroleum products are consumed in transportation3, there is high potential for a positive impact on GHG emissions by switching conventional vehicles to greener alternatives. Transitioning away from ICEs (Internal Combustion Engine) to EVs (electric vehicles) will contribute to reducing GHG emissions in the congested urban area, together with significant co-benefits such as improvement in air quality, reduction of noise, and positive impacts on public health.

Implementing Cambodia’s (I)NDC in the transport sector – Electric Vehicles

Motorcycles dominate Cambodia’s national vehicle market. The RGC sees motorcycles as the potential entry point to promote electric mobility in Cambodia. Electric(e-)motorcycles with a lithium-ion battery are currently more expensive to purchase than ICE motorcycles, but their total cost of ownership including lifetime operating costs is often lower than that of gasoline motorcycles. This implies that the adoption of e-motorcycles could be accelerated with the right set of supporting policies, if incentive mechanisms are


provided to consumers to lessen the burden of higher purchase costs and if consumers’ uncertainty about the performance of e-motorcycles is eased through awareness programs.

Meanwhile, the efforts for introducing e-motorcycles in Cambodia have been hampered by (1) limited information on e-motorcycles, (2) a low level of trust in the quality of e-motorcycles, and (3) high prices of e-motorcycles. By overcoming these barriers through policy and financial supporting measures, the RGC aims to promote green mobility through the deployment of e-motorcycles. The National Council for Sustainable Development has reconfirmed this commitment through its recently developed sustainable city plans for Phnom Penh and for seven secondary cities.

In response the RGC’s commitment to lowering GHG emissions in the transport sector as outlined in the INDC, this Readiness proposal will provide the following support to the NDA and key stakeholders:

• Situation analysis of the transport sector in Cambodia - Different vehicle segments are reviewed and the importance of electrification of two-wheelers (motorcycles) in the context of Cambodia is presented.

• Market and technical assessment for e-motorcycles - The supply of e-motorcycles (domestic and international) and their technical viability (charging, maintenance, etc.) are assessed; Key challenges in market penetration of e-motorcycles in Cambodia are analyzed.

• Economic, environmental, and social assessment for electrification of motorcycles - Economic and environmental impacts (total cost of ownership, reduction of GHG and air pollutants, handling of used batteries, etc.) and social considerations (if any) are analyzed. The assessment will take a life cycle and full-cost approach - including energy source and disposal/use of batteries.

• Policy and regulatory gap analysis to facilitate the deployment of e-motorcycles - Barriers in policy and regulatory frameworks that could hinder proliferation of e-motorcycles are examined and recommendations to remove these barriers are made.

• Development of a financing mechanism for the deployment of e-motorcycles - Financing mechanisms, such as a loan program, are compared and the most appropriate financing mechanism is recommended. Potential investors are identified.

• Assessment of education and communication needs – Assessment to develop effective public awareness campaigns to convey right information on benefits and costs of e-motorcycles as compared to gasoline motorcycles.

• A project concept note that builds on the aforementioned six assessments. The concept note will be submitted to the GCF.

The economic, environmental, and social assessment will be carried out in the context of GGGI’s

Sustainability and Safeguards Rules, as a part of GGGI’s Accountability Framework. Among GGGI’s core

standards is Gender Equality and recognition that women, men, boys and girls are impacted differently by

climate change, and mitigation and adaptation climate action. GGGI has firsthand experience supporting

partners build systems and operations in compliance with the GCF Safeguards and Gender and Social

Inclusion Policy. Furthermore, GGGI’s own Safeguards and Sustainability Rules are in compliance with the

GCF policy framework.

6. IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION

6.1 Implementation map

Please describe how funds will be managed by the NDA and/or the Readiness Delivery Partner.

The General Secretariat of the National Council for Sustainable Development (GSSD) in the MOE (the NDA) will provide strategic oversight for the implementation of the readiness project and will be responsible for the institutional coordination of activities, project stakeholders and Readiness Delivery Partners. The NDA will facilitate engagements with other government ministries, in particular the Ministry of Public Works and Transport and the municipalities. The NDA will host workshops and missions. Recently, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) was put in charge of Cambodia’s e-vehicle initiatives for coordination and management. In general, the DST is responsible for promoting scientific, data led approaches to environmental issues and promote new technologies such as electric vehicles. The DST is


now in charge of all e-vehicle related work in the MOE. The DST of the GSSD/MOE will be the project coordinator for this Readiness project. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport will provide technical inputs into the project, in particular on the situation analysis of the transport sector, the policy and regulatory gap analysis, the market and technical assessment for e-motorcycles. Municipalities’ technical inputs will be sought, in particular on the situation analysis, the economic, environmental and social assessment and the education and communication needs. The NDA will lead the engagement with businesses and business associations for activity 4.4.5 to support the Readiness team in accessing relevant associations (e.g. request for meetings, invitations to workshops, requests to share data). The NDA and respective line ministries will also lead the engagement with business associations following the findings of the study with the goal to confirm support for the study’s conclusions and recommendations. As the Department of Science and Technology (DST) of GSSD/MOE was newly appointed as the lead department for initiatives, coordination and management of on electric vehicles in Cambodia, one of the objectives of the private sector engagement is to help establish a network between relevant business and associations and the DST, and to facilitate their knowledge sharing. The NDA and line ministries will also help the Readiness team to engage the private sector for the concept note. Beyond business association, the Readiness team will engage specific financial institutions and businesses involved in the supply chain for e-motorcycles and vehicles, e.g. retailers for e-motorcycles to collect information. The funds will be managed by GGGI as the Delivery Partner (DP). The DP will implement and supervise the

Readiness support project from inception to closure. The DP will pay directly to goods suppliers and non-

consulting and consulting services as per the respective contracts. The DP will submit portfolio reports and audited financial statements to the GCF as per the Framework Agreement. The DP will prepare request to the GCF, as necessary, for budget changes and reallocation. In close collaboration with the NDA, the DP will prepare project closing documents including externally audited financial statements and submit to the GCF. The DP will ensure that all funds are provided on a timely basis to ensure expediting and acquittal of funds are not delayed, and all funds are accounted and transparent. The DP will be responsible for the recruitment and day-to-day management of consultants as well as quality assurance of the deliverables. The DP will work with the NDA to implement work plan and ensure timely delivery of outputs. GGGI will share all outputs with the NDA, including data collected and models used to conduct the assessment. The NDA will have final ownership of the data GGGI works with a team embedded in the NCSD, supporting the NDA as a neutral adviser since 2015. Together with Phnom Penh Capital Hall, GGGI and the NCSD jointly developed the Phnom Penh Sustainable City Plan. The NCSD and GGGI are currently finalizing a Sustainable City Strategy for Secondary Cities. Clean transport solutions are an integral part of these strategies. Readiness project team Three local consultants and two international staff will implement this Readiness grant. The three local consultants will work under direct supervision and management of the DST and the technical supervision of the GGGI investment and transport experts. The set of tasks for the consultants are as follows:

- One local senior investment officer o steer and support the market assessment, o conduct economic impact assessment, o organize outreach to local businesses and banks, and o advise on the financial instrument.

- One senior local technical transport advisor (consultant) to be placed in the Ministry of Public Works

and Transport who will support: o the situation analysis of the transport sector, o the policy and regulatory gap analysis, and o the market and technical assessment for e-motorcycles.

- One senior local transport economics advisor and Readiness program lead (consultant) to be placed

in the NDA/DST, who will support o manage the Readiness project in close consultation with the DP and NDA, o the economic, environmental and social assessment for electrification of motorcycles, o the development of the financing mechanism, o assess education and communication needs, and


o development of a project concept note.

- Principal transport specialist and senior investment specialist are existing GGGI staff based at the GGGI Seoul HQ who will provide support to the Readiness project team with expertise on transportation and project financing. GGGI experts working from the GGGI HQ in Seoul provide backstopping in their direct support of national experts in the country. GGGI’s delivery approach adds value as systematic backstopping helps build local capacity by leveraging international expertise to support Readiness project implementation. For this Readiness proposal, two GGGI staff will help with the hiring of qualified local experts, provide advice and direction in the development of the outputs, coordination of research, quick response to questions from government and local consultants, ensure consistency with GCF requirements especially of the concept notes, and quality assurance. Backstopping by both staff will include the development of the research methodology and writing support for the study. They will ensure lessons learnt from other GGGI projects are applied to this project and help ensure high quality submissions to the government and the GCF. Both will co-author the study. For the concept note, both experts will act mainly as reviewers. Local consultants will be the lead authors of the concept note and can seek support and insight from the two GGGI experts (staff).

6.2 Risks, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and other relevant information

Risks and risk mitigation measures

There are no major risks involved in this Readiness project. There is a low risk of a lack of data availability for the assessment and the concept notes. To mitigate this risk, GGGI will engage with local experts and stakeholders to leverage existing knowledge and data sources. Risks concerning AML/CFT were properly identified and mechanisms and controls put in place to mitigate those risks within the project preparation facility cycle, according to our obligations to the GCF under legal

agreements and GCF AML/CFT Policy [yes no □, unsure □].

GGGI’s Rules on Integrity Due Diligence set out the principles for conducting integrity due diligence on third parties engaged by GGGI involving financial commitment or transaction, to screen them, including their beneficial owners, regarding issues relating to money laundering, terrorism, organized crime, human rights violations, and modern slavery.

Monitoring and Evaluation

GGGI undertakes monthly and annual project reporting to provide mechanism for regular collection of information on progress to support oversight and adaptive management and external reporting to GGGI members/donors. The project progress is reported against the logframe and budget. GGGI also engages independent evaluators to ensure unbiased, credible project evaluation and the final report is being published on GGGI website. In line with the Framework Readiness and Preparatory Support Grant Agreement between the GCF and GGGI, progress reports using the GCF template will be submitted for disbursement requests and project closing as well as audited financial statements at the portfolio level at the end of each year. GGGI will prepare periodic revisions to reflect changes in six monthly and annual expense category budgets, monitor and review project expenditure reports and communicate and share with the NDA and GCF Secretariat (if required). Other relevant information Workshops This Readiness project will deliver a total of four workshops to build capacity among stakeholders, share information and ensure stakeholder buy-in for the Concept Note and the underlying e-motorcycle project. The workshops are described in more detail below: Sub-outcome 4.3: Project Concept Notes development, workshop 1

Workshop objectives are:

• to explain the approach and methodology behind the assessment and selection of climate projects in the context of GCF country programming, consistent with GCF requirements,

• To discuss the Concept Note, help strengthen and validate it to ensure a close participatory process with policy-makers, government experts and other key stakeholders such as private sector representatives throughout project development, and

• The workshop is a 1-day workshop with ca. 50 participants from key ministries and other stakeholders, such as the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, the Ministry of Interior,

http://gggi.org/site/assets/uploads/2019/06/Rules-on-Integrity-Due-Diligence_16-June-2019.pdf


the National Council for Democratic Development, municipalities, transport business associations, relevant NGOs and academic institutions.

Sub-outcome 4.3: Project Concept Notes development, workshop 2

Workshop objectives are to:

• Explain and discuss the policy analysis methodology and recommendations as well as financing options to implement the e-motorcycle project,

• Explore implementation scenarios with workshop participants to better understand what kind of finance climate change projects need in general and the e-motorcycle project in particular considering project scale and financing needs, existing financing gaps, potential revenue sources from project benefits, and recommendations to address gaps and realize options, and

• The workshop is a 1-day workshop with ca. 80 participants from key ministries and other stakeholders, such as the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, the Ministry of Interior, the National Council for Democratic Development, municipalities, transport business associations, relevant NGOs and academic institutions.

Sub-outcome 4.4: Market preparation and business planning for deployment and scale-up of prioritized climate technology solutions, workshop 3

Objectives are:

• To explain the purpose of the planned assessment and market studies,

• To explain link between assessment activities and the Concept Note,

• Introduce and validate the assessment methodologies, survey etc.,

• Validate data sources and key stakeholders to be engaged,

• Discuss the supply-chain for motorcycles and e-motorcycles in Cambodia

• Test the key assumptions to be used for the assessment, and


Sub-outcome 4.4: Market preparation and business planning for deployment and scale-up of prioritized climate technology solutions, workshop 4

• Refresh participants knowledge of the approach and methodology of the studies and ensure participants' support for the e-motorcycle project,

• Validate the conclusions and recommendations considered in the assessment,

• Discuss potential barriers and how to overcome barriers to implementing the e-motorcycle project,

• Check the validity of the data and approach used to develop the Studies by reviewing them in detail and evaluate logic and flow of the documents and recommendations against criteria such as relevance, feasibility, barriers to implementation etc, and


Handling of used batteries from e-motorcycles will be studied in the project. Recycling and/or disposal of e-motorcycles themselves will be considered as a cross-cutting issue through activities 4.4.2-4.4.5 because it is related to and affected by provision of relevant regulations, roles of manufacturers or distributors in the supply chain, and possibly the terms of the financing programmes for e-motorcycles. Start Date After the approval of the Grant, a notification letter will be sent by the GCF to NDA with copy to the DP. The date of such notification by the GCF will be treated as the start date for project implementation. From that date, the end date of implementation will be calculated considering the total duration of the project as presented in the approved proposal.

GGGI experts working from the GGGI HQ in Seoul provide backstopping in their direct support of the national expert in the field. GGGI’s delivery approach stands apart in this regard as systematic backstopping helps build local capacity by leveraging international expertise to support Readiness project implementation. For this Readiness proposal, the two GGGI experts will help with the hiring of qualified local experts, advice and direction in the development of the outputs, coordination of research, quick response to questions from government and local consultants, ensure consistency with GCF requirements especially of the concept notes, and quality assurance. Backstopping will include the development of the research methodology and writing support for the study. For the concept notes, both experts will act mainly as reviewers and help revise/improve the quality through writing support.
