Lesson 3.3: The SEACAP development process for the Access to Energy Pillar

16 September 2024

Initiating the development of the mitigation pillar of the SEACAP involves:

  • Local authorities that wish to develop a SEACAP should sign up to CoM SSA by presenting a Political Commitment Document (PCD) for consideration to their decision-making body, e.g. the Municipal Council, to ensure formal support.
  • All the signatories to CoM SSA then translate their Political Commitment into action by developing and implementing a SEACAP that addresses the three CoM SSA pillars.
  • This step entails deciding on a team to be responsible for the development of the SEACAP.
  • The team should consist of both senior officials who can get the components of the SEACAP approved by the Mayor, as well as technical staff who can undertake the work.
  • A project lead should be identified who can coordinate the work that needs to be done
  • Desktop research should be undertaken to identify sources of information such as the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), national mitigation plan, climate change related strategies, local development plan, etc. locally-relevant scientific reports, etc.
  • It can also be used as an exercise to identify information gaps in your region.
  • This involves identifying what stakeholders are working within your region in the relevant sectors and identifying what work/projects each stakeholder does. This will be useful when hosting workshops to exchange information and build the SEACAP.
  • Typically this phase is termed ‘stakeholder mapping’ and can be part of a broader stakeholder engagement strategy.
  • Engaging with marginalised stakeholders
    • Participation can give marginalised people and groups power over decisions that affect their lives, transforming power structures in society. 
    • Marginalised stakeholders possess unique knowledge sets and should be recognised as active members of society who offer valuable insights gained from life experience. 
    • The critical insights, learning and behaviour changes that are uncovered through engaging marginalised stakeholders lead to improvements to society as a whole.
  • Identify data availability and quality
  • Prepare data to develop indicators
