The programme began in July 2014 and runs until 31 December 2016. It is funded through2

the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The current training was delivered to ‘emerging’ negotiatorsfrom least developed countries further divided into Francophone and Anglophone groups. Each groupreceived a two and a half day training complemented by a half-day bilingual session in between forboth groups.ObjectivesThe main objective of this first training is to strengthen the ‘emerging’ negotiators’ understanding of themechanics of the negotiating process within the UNFCCC and to help them effectively support theirdelegation on the main issues and in effect contribute to the development of a new internationalagreement on climate change, due to enter into force in 2020. The training focuses on specificnegotiation skills and ways in which these skills can best be used to further the national objectives aswell as those of the wider LDC negotiating group in the context of climate change negotiations.PartnersThe main partners involved in this project include the GEF as the source of funds, UNDP and UNEPas GEF implementing agencies and UNITAR and International Institute for Environment andDevelopment (IIED) as executing agencies. More specifically, UNITAR leads on the development anddelivery of the training programme, while IIED leads on the provision of policy and technical support.Evaluation MethodAt the end of each training event the participants were given a Self-evaluation form and a Participantfeedback questionnaire to complete. The Participant feedback questionnaire (Appendix II) consists of10 sections which include general information questions, questions based on the learning objectivesas well as questions evaluating the facilitators and materials. The Self-evaluation form (Appendix III)aims to test understanding at a conceptual level by comparing results pre and post training subject toeach individual learning objective. The Francophone group received the materials in French.Through the use of an excel spreadsheet, the assessment questions generated specific data-sets,particularly:1. A summary of the key trainees’ comments collected through both questionnaires.2. Pie charts representing the value and relevance of the training for the participants.3. Bar charts presenting PRE and POST level of perceived knowledge per learning objectivebased on an aggregated score for all training participants.Self-assessment questionnaires reached a completion rate of 100%. 28 out of the 28 questionnairesinitially distributed at the beginning of the workshop were entirely filled in and returned at the end ofthe training event.The evaluation shows the following results.3

Key Trainees’ Feedback (Anglophone)« Very good training, we need to have more of this »« The presentations were top notch. »« It is very useful and I wish some of my colleagues could have attended. I will impart the knowledge to mycolleagues »« Slides on theory of negotiation - definition, strategies, options, and behaviors could have been helpful »« Before I thought negotiators are marvelous and most intelligent, but now I realize that even I can make a goodnegotiator because all good negotiators prepare before coming to the negotiation table »« In general everything was great apart from no looking after the delegation upon arrival. »« [ ] since negotiators sometimes change, it will be important and crucial to conduct similar trainings from time totime so that there is a continuity of efficient negotiators representing a state in such multilateral agreements »4

Key Trainees’ Feedback (Francophone)« J'ai surtout apprécié les informations sur les principes de la négociation »« Cette formations des négociateurs émergents francophones doit continuer »« Pour améliorer cet atelier, je proposerais que les participants à l'atelier soient invités à la COP21 afinde vérifier si ils on apprit le processus de négociation »«Je pense que cette formation peut être améliorée en ajoutant: langue diplomatique - commentprésenter les besoins de manière correcte; apprendre à présenter tout en restant très diplomatique »« Je pense qu'il faut donner la chance aux francophone qui connaissent l'anglaisde participer aux deux ateliers [.]»5
