Lesson 7.4: Introduction to reporting the access to energy pillar3 Topics1 Quiz
In addition to setting an overarching adaptation vision, smaller, sector-specific targets should also be set for each of the priority sectors included in the RVA.
Sectoral targets provide valuable focus for what needs to specifically be achieved at a sector level.
At least 1 target should be developed for each prioritised sector.
As with the adaptation vision, sectoral targets should also take the form of a statement that speaks to a desired future.
As they are sector level targets, they should be specific to the sector and not as broad as the overarching adaptation vision. They should however directly align to the adaptation vision;
Sectoral targets provide additional focus for what needs to be undertaken within each sector identified as at risk in the RVA, to support the city with achieving the adaptation vision.
As with the adaptation vision, sectoral targets should include a base year (i.e. the year that the target is set).
Sectoral targets should also include the target year (i.e. the year to achieve the target).
- Each sectoral target should also be SMART and include:
- Metrics/indicators for how they will be measured
- An indication of the percentage of the goal/target reached so far
- Detail on how they align with local, sub-national and national targets
What does a sectoral target look like?
Here’s an example of a sectoral target for the water sector:
“By 2030, the city will have upgraded the city’s water services and built 50 new water points in X neighbourhood to ensure an uninterrupted supply of water and sanitation services both before, during and post flooding events.”
Date set: 21st June 2015
Metric Indicator: Maps of services (updated quarterly); Community surveys
Percentage of goal reached so far: 40%
Policy/ legislation alignment: Water and Sanitation Act; Water Supply By-Law
How do you set an adaptation vision and targets?
- Organise a participatory workshop with the local and national departments representing the sectors most affected by climate change, relevant NGOs, CSOs, traditional leaders, university departments and private sector, to set the city’s adaptation vision and sectoral targets.
- This participatory approach will encourage stakeholders to identify and implement relevant actions to meet these targets.
- Balance representing a broad cross-section of the community and having an open table, while simultaneously ensuring a manageable planning process.
- Begin within an open dialogue about the community’s understanding of energy access. Avoid getting straight into technical language.
- When engaging stakeholders avoid “you”, “they” and “them”, instead use inclusive language like “we” and “our”.
- During the engagement, refer to the S.M.A.R.T attributes for target setting for the target being set.
