Key Institutinal Factrs related t MRV A tl fr transparency and cmparing s: GHG emissins, impacts, flw f supprt Accuntability fr financial cmmitments, attract finance Open data access fr investrs and beneficiaries Sectral participatin / input frm the start N UNFCCC methdlgies n MRV Pre-existing guidelines: IPCC inventry guidelines NC, BUR, EUETS, and GHG Prtcl Initiative crprate guidelines Methdlgies frm CDM and Gld Standard
Institutinal Arrangement System Design Build frm existing fundatins (DNA, GHG reprting) Establish a legal basis with clear rles and respnsibilities Attract investment, buy-in, cmmercial interests: Selectin f MRV indicatrs (jbs, incme, health) Target pririty sectrs and ministries Simplify data cllectin nt acrss sectrs Minimize lss f institutinal capacity / memry Onging self-imprvement Central dmestic crdinating entity Inter-ministerial bdy / steering cmmittee Sectral wrking grups, technical crdinatr
General Tasks f a Office General guidance t the develpment prcess Administer registry Office / Authrity / Institutin Ensure the alignment f s with natinal develpment pririties Reflectin n prgress and adjustment t new circumstances Facilitate mainstreaming f mitigatin int all stages f plicy making MRV system design and implementatin Cllect and aggregate infrmatin n mitigatin actins Surce: Perspectives, 2013 adapted frm BAPPENAS, GIZ (2012)
