Subject: Support to the Green Climate Fund project titled: “Integral Management of water resources as a strategy for the adaptation to climate change of the most vulnerable communities in La Mojana”

Dear Sir:

On behalf of the Presidential Agency for International Cooperation of Colombia (APC-Colombia, acronym in Spanish), it is my pleasure to send this letter to express our support for the comprehensive programmatic proposal that seeks to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities in La Mojana and complement the effort of the national government within the implementation framework of La Mojana Action Plan.

APC-Colombia is an organization that leads international cooperation in Colombia. Our objective is to increase the benefits obtained by the Colombian and international society from development- related cooperation according to the country’s priorities. The Agency focuses and invigorates the international cooperation that Colombia receives by prioritizing the territories that need it most, mainly in three thematic areas: peace building, sustainable rural development, and environmental conservation and sustainability. It also shares knowledge and practices that make Colombia more valuable to other countries, through the South-South Cooperation (SSC) and Triangular Cooperation (TrC), which seek to contribute to the sustainable development and positioning of Colombia in the world.

In light of the above, the proposed program is very important for the country and the experiences and lessons learned will be replicated by APC-Colombia within the framework of our South-South and Col-Col cooperation programs in different regions within the country that are also vulnerable to climate change impacts, multidimensional poverty and have been affected by the armed conflict. APC- Colombia particularly highlights the axis of academic training proposed by the program, since it constitutes an important part of the Cooperation offer from the country to the world. This could contribute to a counterpart worth ONE HUNDRED MILLION PESOS Common Currency ($100,000,000), as follows: i) Design and implementation of the practical part and training course exchanges, extending its implementation to benefit southern countries, ii) the transfer of the “KNOW HOW” methodology for documenting and systematizing Case Studies and Histories, and iii) the time of people who are able to follow up this process.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Green Climate Fund for the opportunity to fund this kind of programs which will complement the country’s efforts to implement adaptation measures in La Mojana region and are aimed at improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable rural communities in the country.

Sincerely,

Subject: Co-financing of the project financed by the Green Climate Fund titled: “Climate resilient water management practices for vulnerable communities in La Mojana”

Dear Sir,

On behalf of the corporation for sustainable development of La Mojana and San Jorge “CORPOMOJANA”, an entity that acts as first environmental authority in the jurisdiction of 7 municipalities of the Department of Sucre and, therefore, is responsible for the administration of renewable natural resources and their sustainable use.

The region of La Mojana is a very important ecosystem area for the country in which the main rivers of Colombia’s Andean Region meet. The wetland complex provides both direct and indirect environmental services (water regulation, food supply, water supply, wildlife habitat, among others) to 4 departments and intermediate cities of the Colombian Caribbean region. CORPOMOJANA has jurisdiction over 6 municipalities that belong to La Mojana area.

CORPOMOJANA works hard to avoid the ecosystem degradation and to restore environmental services that have been lost due to the transformation caused by humans, and exacerbated by climate events such as floods and prolonged droughts.

The project that is being submitted to the Green Climate Fund is aligned with environmental and sustainable development priorities and compatible with the climate of the region; hence, the project is aligned with the action plan of CORPOMOJANA and its investment lines.

The corporation will invest USD$1,660,614 in ecosystem restoration for the next 4 years. This investment, together with the resources of the Green Climate Fund, will have a bigger impact on the transformation towards a resilient environment in La Mojana. The corporation commits to monitor the environments restored within the framework of the Green Climate Fund project once it has been completed, as well as to provide the technical assistance required for such purpose.

Moreover, the corporation will contribute in a timely manner with the dissemination of information to the communities that might be affected by events of floods and droughts within the component of early warnings.

Finally, we would like to thank the Green Climate Fund for financing the gaps Colombia currently has regarding the implementation of adaptation measures that help to save lives and improve the livelihood of the most vulnerable communities in the country.

Respetado señor;

En representación del Instituto de investigaciones biológicas Alexander von Humboldt me complace manifestar nuestro apoyo al proyecto del asusto en mención, que pretende brindar de forma integral soluciones para incrementar la resiliencia de las comunidades vulnerables de la región de La Mojana ante el cambio y variabilidad climática.

El Instituto Humboldt se encarga promover, coordinar y realizar investigación que contribuya al conocimiento, la conservación y el uso sostenible de la biodiversidad como un factor de desarrollo y bienestar de !a población colombiana. Además, se encarga de realizar, en el territorio continental de la Nación, la investigación científica sobre biodiversidad, incluyendo los recursos hidrobiológicos y genéticos.

La región de La Mojana es un área de especial importancia ecológica conformada por un complejo sistema de humedales que presta variados servicios ecosistémicos, entre ellos el control de inundaciones, la provisión de alimentos, mejoramiento de la calidad del agua, provisión hídrica o la oferta de hábitat para fauna y flora. Sin embargo, es también una zona particularmente frágil a los efectos del cambio y variabilidad climática que son exacerbados por la transformación de los ecosistemas de la región a causa de la intervención humana. Por lo anterior, es de vital importancia recuperar la salud de los ecosistemas y reestablecer los flujos de servicios ecosistémicos de los cuales dependen las poblaciones más vulnerables que habitan en La Mojana.

A partir de las acciones en restauración ecológica incluidas en el Proyecto se contribuirá en el logro de dicho objetivo y, además, se fortalecerá el monitoreo participativo de la biodiversidad y el conocimiento científico sobre la restauración de humedales que podrá ser replicado en otras zonas del país o incluso en otros humedales del mundo.

Es por esto, que en el marco de dichas actividades el Instituto Humboldt contribuirá con una contrapartida de 73*000.000 de pesos Anuales correspondientes a la información que posee el Instituto para la región y a la dedicación del 10% del coordinador del programa de Gestión Territorial y el 10% de dedicación de dos investigadores expertos de la Línea de restauración ecológica, uno en técnicas de restauración y otro en análisis de paisaje

Subject: Statement of support and co-financing to the project "Scaling up climate resilient water management practices for vulnerable communities in La Mojana"

Dear Sir,

On behalf of the Alexander von Humboldt biological research institute, it is a pleasure to express our support to the aforementioned project that seeks to provide integral solutions to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities in La Mojana facing climate change and variability.

The Humboldt Institute is responsible for promoting, coordinating and conducting researches that contribute to the knowledge, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity as a factor of development and well-being of the Colombian population. It is also responsible for performing scientific research on biodiversity, including hydrobiological and genetic resources in Colombia’s mainland.

La Mojana region is an area of particular ecological importance comprised by a complex wetland system that provides various ecosystem services, such as flood control, food supply, improvement of water quality, water supply or habitat for fauna and flora. However, it is also a particularly fragile area to the effects of climate change and climate variability that are exacerbated by the transformation of ecosystems in the region due to human intervention. Therefore, it is fundamental to recover the ecosystems health and to reestablish the ecosystem service flows on which the most vulnerable communities living in La Mojana depend upon.

Based on the actions of ecological restoration included in the Project, it will be possible to contribute to achieve this goal. Also, the participatory monitoring of biodiversity and scientific knowledge on wetland restoration will be strengthened and could be replicated in other areas of the country or even other wetlands in the world.

For this reason, within the framework of these activities, the Humboldt Institute will contribute a counterpart of COP$73,000,000 a year corresponding to the information the Institute has on the region, and 10% is dedicated to the coordinator of the Land Management program and 10% to two research experts of the Ecological restoration line, one for restoration techniques and the other for landscape analysis applied to restoration, who will work closely with the team contracted for the achievement of objectives.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Green Climate Fund for the opportunity to fund this kind of projects that will complement the country’s efforts to implement adaptation measures in La Mojana region, which are aimed at improving the livelihood of the most vulnerable rural communities of the country in harmony with the conservation of the ecosystem.

Matter: Co-financing of the Green Climate Fund’s project titled “Scaling up climate resilient water management practices for vulnerable communities in La Mojana”.

Dear Dr. Santiago,

The Adaptation Fund (AF), the organization responsible for the execution of integrated projects for risk management and adaptation to climate change, is pleased to support the proposed integrated program for the improvement of water resources management and the increase in climate resilience of the vulnerable communities in the La Mojana region.

The AF executes territorial development projects to reduce the risks associated with global environmental changes, and thus adapt the territory to its climate conditions. Within this context, the La Mojana region has been selected as it has been severely affected by the increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme events, reflected by prolonged droughts and floods that make its rural inhabitants particularly vulnerable.

The AF, in coordination with national planning institutions, has drawn up the Action Plan for La Mojana as the main instrument for generating a territorial transformation directed at adapting the region to climate change. Accordingly, the project, which will be financed by the Green Climate Fund, is of the highest importance to the country, as it will complement the investments that the national government is planning to make in the region by means of the AF.

The AF commits to a contribution of 61.8 million dollars, from the national budget, as a direct co- financing to the resources requested to the Green Climate Fund. These funds are distributed in the different components of the Action Plan for La Mojana, with estimated values as indicated below:

• Governance and capacity building program o $ 2.8 million for the establishment of a Regional Interagency Water Board and the establishment of a Multipurpose Land Registry to support land management. o $ 0.8 million for the development of the regional climate forecast center • Safer and sustainable infrastructure program o $ 17.2 million for the construction of adapted public infrastructure that will house communal water tanks • Environmental dynamics recovery program o $ 36 million for landscape-scale restoration of wetlands in the region, including strategies for active and passive restoration, water flow recovery in channels, silvopastoral systems, among others, to improve environmental conditions in an estimated area of 40,000 hectares. • Economic recovery program o $ 4 million for the establishment of home gardens o And $ 1 million for the development of agricultural extension activities in the context of the social recovery program.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Green Climate Fund for supporting this fundamental initiative for the country, which will help us implement climate change adaptation measures directed towards one of the most vulnerable rural populations in Colombia.

Yours sincerely,

Subject: Co-financing of the Green Climate Fund’s project titled “Scaling up climate resilient water management practices for vulnerable communities in La Mojana”.

Recognizing the strategic importance for the country of its most vulnerable communities being more resilient and having the necessary conditions to adapt to the adverse effects of climate vulnerability and change, the Municipal Mayor’s Office of San Benito Abad, Sucre, is pleased to support the proposed integrated program which aims to improve the management of water resources to increase the climate-related resilience of the vulnerable communities in La Mojana.

The La Mojana region has been badly affected by the prolonged floods caused by the overflow of the San Jorge river -more intense in recent years -, leaving more and more victims and economic damages of great magnitude.

The Municipal Mayor’s office recognizes the importance of implementing a project such as the one that would fund the Green Climate Fund in the Mojana region. The components of safe water provision for the vulnerable population and the early warning system would greatly reduce the vulnerability of our communities. For these same aspects, the Municipal Mayor’s office will invest in the next 4 years $ 300.000 USD. With the resources of the Green Climate Fund, a greater impact would be achieved, benefiting the population located in the rural areas that are also the most vulnerable to the climatic change.

Yours sincerely,

San Marcos - Sucre, November 24th, 2016

Dear Sir, Martín Santiago Herrero Resident Representative UNDP Colombia

The Mayor’s Office of San Marcos, Sucre is pleased to support the comprehensive programmatic proposal that seeks to improve the management of water resources and thus increase the climate resilience of vulnerable communities at La Mojana; considering how important it is for the country, strategically speaking, to help make its communities more resilient and have the necessary conditions to adapt to negative climate conditions and climate vulnerability.

La Mojana region, where the main drainages of Colombia’s inter-Andean region converge, has been severely affected by the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme climate conditions such as long droughts and floodings, which has rendered the inhabitants of this meadow especially vulnerable.

The Mayor’s Office of San Marcos, Sucre is responsible for providing resources that contribute to the development of both water supply systems for the rural population of the municipality and wetland recovery activities.

Thus, the Mayor’s Office of San Marcos, Sucre will have a $4,000-dollar investment during the next four years in terms of drinking water supply and wetland recovery (environmental issues). Such co-finance includes cash and/or in-kind contribution of resources by means of time and resources provided by the staff of this entity. The foresaid resources complement component 2 of Water infrastructure and ecosystem services adapted to climate change.

We would like to thank Fondo Verde del Clima for the opportunity to finance the gaps Colombia currently has in order to implement adaptation actions which will save lives and improve the livelihood of the most vulnerable populations in the country; especially, the vulnerable population who depend on climate- sensitive sectors such as drinking water and wetland recovery.

Sincerely,

(Signed) BLADIMIR SIERRA Municipal Mayor of San Marcos – Sucre.

Dear Sir,

Recognizing the strategic importance for the country to have more resilient communities with favorable conditions so they are able to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and climate vulnerability, the Government of Sucre is pleased to support the project proposal aimed at improving water resource management and increase climate resilience of vulnerable communities in La Mojana Region.

The Government of Sucre is the governing body responsible for formulating and implementing the Departmental Water Plan –PDA, which is financed through the General Participation System and the National Fund for Risk Management. The financial resources are articulated through the PDA to improve the conditions of quality, coverage and continuity in the provision of aqueduct services.

Within the framework of this Plan, the Government plans to invest Fifteen Thousand Six Hundred Million Pesos ($15,600,000,000) to improve the water supply systems for the rural communities in the municipalities of San Marcos, Caimito, San Benito Abad, Sucre, Majagual and Guaranda. The resources invested by the Green Climate Fund will complement the efforts of the national government in assisting the region’s most vulnerable communities to climate changes.

Additionally, the water solutions implemented by the aforementioned project, regarding the adaptation of micro aqueducts, will be welcomed by the Government of Sucre. These measures

will provide support to the requirements of infrastructure maintenance pursuant to the provisions established by the Law. Furthermore, there is a commitment on the part of the Departmental Water Plan - PAP - PDA - SUCRE to protect and strengthen the institutions operating rural micro aqueduct systems so that they can be self-sustaining and functional according to the guidelines of the National Government.

My greatest commitment within the Development Plan and as a Government program is to advance in the solutions to supply drinking water to the rural sector. Therefore, I give my institutional support to ensure that both technical and financial efforts can be consolidated in this regard. I express my gratitude to the Green Climate Fund for the opportunity given to the Department of Sucre of financing Colombia’s current gaps regarding the implementation of adaptation measures that will improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable and depressed populations in La Mojana Region of the Sucre Department.
