| Overview : The Conference of the Parties at its thirteenth session (COP 13) adopted Bali Action Plan. The Bali Action Plan introduced the principle of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for both developed and developing country Parties in the context of enhancing action at the international and national level to mitigate climate change. NAMAs are actions that reduce GHGs or enhance sink. Conceptually, NAMAs are not different to existing mitigation efforts but what is new is the UNFCCC context and the need to Monitor, Report & Verify the identified NAMAs. MRV is key to ensure transparency & accountability of impact of support received, to track & report impact of NAMAs on GHG emissions, sustainable development, poverty reduction and co-benefits. As such NAMAs will be recorded in both national & international registry systems (UNFCCC registry). For supported NAMAs, countries are expected to report progress through National Communications every four years and/or Biennial Update Reports (BURs) every two years and will be subject to International Consultation and Analysis. Purpose of the consultancy The consultant will develop NAMAs (energy, waste, transport, agriculture and Forestry) and establish a domestic MRV system for the national appropriate mitigation actions in accordance with the MRV Framework developed under the Convention. The activities undertaken by the consultant will contribute towards strengthening institutional arrangements for Mitigation Assessments to the effects of climate Change. |
