| Overview : International Consultant for Project Development of UNDP supported Medium-Sized Project proposal on Capacity-Building Initiative Transparency under the GEF-7: "Strengthening the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory of the Republic of Mauritius to Improve Climate Reporting and Transparency". Mauritius’ Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) project has an overall objective to assist Mauritius in strengthening its national greenhouse gas inventory and associated data collection process, and to mainstream greater use of the inventory in policy formulation and NDC tracking. Scope of Work: The initial concept “Strengthening the national greenhouse gas inventory of the Republic of Mauritius to improve climate reporting and transparency” was developed and submitted to GEF in August 2019. The concept has been approved in October 2019, after which full project document has to be developed and submitted to GEF for approval. With the GEF-CBIT support, country level capacity can be improved to prioritize the MRV development, to carry out critical climate-responsive contributions, set forth in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), in line with the Paris Agreement. With an increased national capacity to measure, monitor and report on actions, identified in NDC, the country will be in a better position to enhance the transparency in reporting, and identify long-term mitigation potential. Thus, the approved CBIT concept proposal has been focused on three main components: - Improving the accuracy and localisation of the national greenhouse gas inventory
- Strengthening the national greenhouse gas inventory process
- Mainstreaming the national greenhouse gas inventory to enhance transparency and support policy-making
