Development of the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) System In Burkina Faso

To achieve these stated objectives, Burkina Faso needs increased capacity and ability to meet its MRV obligations under the enhanced transparency requirements under the Paris Agreement, whereby Burkina Faso can identify its major GHG emitting sectors completely and comprehensively to prioritize its climate actions in sync with its development priorities. The key results and outcomes expected from the overall MRV project are: · Outcome 1: Established national MRV system enabling the country to meet its obligations under the enhanced transparency framework of the Paris Agreement, to support the country identify mitigation and adaptation areas to facilitate leveraging green investment and achieve its NDC. This includes entrenched institutional arrangements and agreements for data sharing necessary to meet the country’s obligations under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement. This will also enable the country to measure and monitor indicators that can contribute to achieving the SDGs. · Outcome 2: Enhanced country-capacity to prepare accurate GHG inventories. These include identifying the appropriate MRV requirements for assessing its capacity development needs, identifying the required climate finance needed, and accurately measuring, reporting, and verifying its NDC components.
