PART II: PROJECT JUSTIFICATION 8 Project Overview A.1. Project Description. Briefly describe the project, including ; 1) the global environmental problems, root causes and barriers that need to be addressed; 2) the baseline scenario and any associated baseline projects, 3) the proposed alternative scenario, with a brief description of expected outcomes and components of the project, 4) incremental cost reasoning and expected contributions from the baseline , the GEFTF, LDCF/SCCF and co-financing; 5) global environmental benefits (GEFTF, NPIF) and adaptation benefits (LDCF/SCCF); 6) innovativeness, sustainability and potential for scaling up Baseline scenario and projects The transport sector is the third-largest energy consumer in Morocco, after the residential sector and industry. The sector depends almost exclusively on petroleum products (99%) which must be fully imported and place a heavy burden on the country’s trade balance: the Ministry of Mines, Energy, Water 6 On an exceptional basis, PPG amount may differ upon detailed discussion and justification with the GEFSEC. 7 PPG fee percentage follows the percentage of the GEF Project Grant amount requested. 8 Part II should not be longer than 5 pages. 4 GEF-5 PIF Template-December 27, 2012 and Environment estimates that fuel imports for the transport sector alone account for 8% of Morocco’s total imports. Despite having the highest fuel prices in the region (due to a concerted Government effort to reduce fuel subsidies), the vehicle fleet is growing rapidly – by 6% per year between 2002-2010 – with considerable potential for future growth. Commercial vehicles account for 27% of the total fleet, of which approximately 70,000 are freight vehicles. The road freight sector is fragmented and is characterized by old vehicles (28% are over 15 years old) that are often poorly maintained, over-loaded and badly driven. Logistics costs are estimated by the Government to be as high as 20% of domestic value-added, imposing a burden on firms and consumers and contributing an estimated 1.7 million tCO 2/year of greenhouse gas emissions. In an effort to improve the competitiveness of the logistics sector by reorganizing and optimizing the flow of goods, the Ministry of Equipment and Transportation has recently developed a National Logistics Strategy. The Strategy outlines three specific objectives to be achieved by 2015: reducing the burden of logistics costs in relation to GDP from 20% to 15%,
