Technologies applied to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climatic variability are broadly defined as climate technologies. Due to inequalities of innovation capacity among nations, climate technologies require deliberate interventions for adoption and diffusion in national settings where the enabling conditions are weak. Aid projects of international development organizations have long served the function of system builders for climate technologies in various modalities such as demonstration projects, barrier removal activities or directly subsidizing scale-up. Evaluation of these projects have been done with a narrow purview of the funding & implementing agencies, which often falls short of attributing their roles in sustainability transition. This dissertation includes three studies aimed at understanding sustainability transition impacts of projects using theoretical frameworks that seeks to explain long-term effects of climate technology aid projects. Emerging transition literature have come up with theories of how project level niche experiments gradually affect landscape settings through bottom-up evolution. The activities of the aid projects on climate technologies matches the posited roles of niche experiments, allowing nurturing with the co-evolution of technology, user practices and regulatory structures. This first study explores cumulative effects of energy projects on renewable energy generation capacity of recipient countries. Horizontal linkages of energy aid projects were found to affect generation capacity, signaling learning process central to transition theories. In the following study a deeper insight is presented to understand how climate technologies, previously supported by aid projects, played a role in familiarizing these technologies in host countries. Project duration was found to have negative effect on familiarization while project size had a positive effect. The third study explores outlook for future projects managing transitions through targeted interventions. Employing content analysis of Technology Action Plan (TAP) document for 25 countries, activities under prioritized technologies were matched with indicators corresponding to seven functions of technological innovation system. Resource mobilization and creation of legitimacy were the functions prioritized by the countries, while the function of entrepreneurial activity received less priority. This dissertation contributes to the literature of sustainability transition in further understanding micro-macro links of interventions and offers new approaches for design and evaluation of projects.
