Context Art. 4 - NDC Tracking Art. 7 - adaptation communication Art 13 - The Enhanced Transparency Framework, ETF), specifically the Modalities, Procedures and Guidelines, MPGs for the ETF . Art 14 - The global stocktake;

What is the BIG Issue for transparency?? Lack of reliable data, Fragmented, unsustainable structures and arrangements, weak coordinated processes … and more we need to help countries to have capacities for managing the full cycle of data flow - from data production to use Actively promote the institutionalization of current best practices of national inventory work

Objectives of technical support providers Improve the availability and quality of data in partner countries Strengthen national institutions and governance structures, including coordination and information-sharing across them Build national capacities to establish and maintain information and registry systems for measuring, monitoring, validating/evaluating and reporting on mitigation, adaptation and support received Enhance the ability to track the effectiveness of NDC policies and actions as well as financial support in achieving the intended outcomes Improve the understanding of nationally and globally effective practices and the determinants that lead to their success Integrate the contributions of non-state actors, including those of the private sector, into national registry systems Document the impacts of commitments made by International Corporate Initiatives.

Capacity building - based on existing knowledge and feedback from developing countries to create guidance and tools that can be applied to a wide range of circumstances and establish requirements that encourage transparent and reliable estimates of impacts. Establish/enhance national MRV systems - supported by sustainable institutional and legislative arrangements. Partnering with existing institutions to improve current capabilities to ensure that the capacities build remain within the country Regional and global knowledge management - facilitating dissemination and sharing including peer-to-peer exchange, knowledge facilitation, e.g. identification of good practices, development of tools and guidance, complementary e-learning/webinars. New approaches to data generation, collection, analysis and report for evidence based decision making - Approaches in line with technology advances; research and innovation to improve the reliability, availability and accurateness of data. Connecting and Networking - work with organisations and stakeholders at all levels and across diverse networks, including in the private sector, academia and civil society. Meeting the objectives - how?Research

Meeting the objectives - How? UDP has developed a working framework for CB on MRV systems for transparency Supporting sustainable National MRV systems including national, sectoral (private and public), and sub-regional levels Capacity needs assessment ( Institutions and stakeholders)Design / develop tracking systems for: NDCs; Adaptation; Finance needed and receivedcovering the whole cycle of data management, from generation to useCB for adaptation, to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate adaptation actions in a transparent manner Help understand the MPGs Identify/define metrics and indicators Date management supporting tailored country activity packages; providing relevant tools, training and assistance to meet the transparency provisions Transferring knowledge and tools On-line resources Projects - managing a portfolio of projects
