1. Capacity Building Workshop.
CDM Standardized Baselines: opportunities to experience simplified tools for MRV.
Capacity Building Workshop.
Ministry of Agriculture, Youyi Building, Freetown, Sierra Leone - March 21, 22; 2017.
Purpose: Address 2 key elements of MRV country experience (case studies):
Institutional framework for MRV; and
MRV for GHG emissions.
MRV systems at the national level should encompass at least the following key elements:
Calculation of GHG emission and their reference levels at a national level;
Tracking of emission reductions in mitigation actions for inclusion in a registry system and assurance of results through a national verification system;
Tracking of support required and received for inclusion in the registry system and assurance of results through a national verification system;
Inclusion of all results in international reporting, such as the National Communications, international registries, information hubs as well as associated review processes.
SB development offers opportunities to develop expertise on:
the establishment of effective and sustainable MRV arrangements between relevant actors in a specific sector;
the definition of data delivery protocols to guide data providers with a regular collection and reporting of quality data; and
the enhancement of local knowledge on how to aggregate Tier 2 and Tier 3 data of the MRV system, which is also required for the compilation of national GHG emission reports.

7. B. MRV for Mitigation NDC:
MRV System: is the mean by which countries ensure effective articulation of the necessary components to build their mitigation obligations and to track its progress overtime.
Our MRV is to:
- Have a good understanding our country’s emission profile;
- Enhance good organization management practices;
- Fulfill our international obligations;
- Track progress of our NDC.
Required MRV Arrangements:
- Institutional;
- Regulatory / Legal;
- Procedural.
The term MRV first appeared in the context of climate change mitigation policy as part of the Bali Action Plan (2007), which called for “measurable, reportable, and verifiable nationally appropriate mitigation commitments or actions” and stated that they should be “supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity-building, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner” (UNFCCC 2007).
Most recently, under the Paris Agreement, it was agreed that all countries will provide emissions data and track progress against their contributions. MRV systems will be a significant component in effectively tracking and improving the implementation of mitigation goals and policies articulated under countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) (CDKN Global 2016).
Prior to these steps we have gone through the phases below:
- Planning;
- Ressource Mobilization;
- Kick off meetings.
Two Mitigation options: Unconditional (NDC) and Conditional (NDC+)
Institutional: • Which institutions? Ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) • Roles and responsibilities • Coordination and cooperation • Capacity and skills and training
Regulatory / Legal: Laws, regulations , enforcement.
Procedural: • Tools and guidelines • Indicator definition and monitoring • Baseline setting; projections • Data and information collection • Analysis and quality control • Verification (internal and external) • Reporting and dissemination • Continuous improvement • Stakeholder engagement.
<<Domestic MRV is the process/manner by which Parties:  measure emissions/removals or other metrics of its mitigation actions, report on those outcomes, and 
verify domestically the emissions/removals or other metrics
Why is Domestic MRV important? 
MRV is a critical component of an effective policy framework by enabling the identification of  significant actions and interventions;
Entities can only manage what they measure, which makes domestic MRV an essential piece of  setting and tracking progress towards domestic goals and priorities;
The development of accurate, consistent and transparent data on GHG emissions is key to  monitoring progress in reducing emissions as well as to help inform and direct the development  of emission reduction programs and policies;
Robust policy tracking through collection of emission/removal data or performance metrics can  help inform future policy making and decision making around use of resources. Source:

Roles & Responsibilities: ???
Key success factors:
LEADERSHIP + POLITICAL COMMITMENT & INVOLVEMENT.
Clear Definition of roles & responsibilities + ownership;
Well defined Performance indicators.
Performance organisationnelle (fréquence : minimum une fois l’an.) :
- Audit, effectué par une tierce partie (exemple organisme accrédité pour effectuer des audits ISO) ;
- Revue de direction par le comité ministériel ;
- Tableau de bord.
Success Factors:
High level LEADERSHIP (political commitment and involvement)
- Inter-ministerial Agreement at Minister level;
Clear institutional responsibilities
The overall and sectoral responsibilities for data gathering, compilation and quality control have been very clearly defined. Moreover, the handling of data and commercially sensitive information requires well-designed institutional processes and structures to ensure data is only used for the agreed purpose.
Sets of performance indicators for continuous improvement for each players
Open and direct communication
– open communication between the players in cooperation with the relevant ministries and industry associations using an existing and growing network of contacts.
- NB: Confidence and trust are key – Confidence-building is a continuous effort and can be achieved through
open communication and transparency. Trust is essential to ensuring good and effective relationships especially when dealing with sensitive information.
- NB: Carrots & Sticks - in some cases the “threat” of legislation had to be used to facilitate the voluntary agreement.
Adequate resourcing
Human – GHG inventory and climate expertise's has to be developed;
Financial – guaranteed, regular funding from government and development partners;
IT platform to ease links between databases and storage of reports.
Partnership approach to data sharing
Voluntary agreements with stakeholders (industry is required to fill data gaps – industry is made aware not only of the benefits of having these data, but also of the way they are used (i.e. for GHG inventory purposes only)).
No reinventing of the wheel
Use the existing data flows and processes as much as possible – and only introduces new elements where there are gaps, what works well manually could be improved with the use of an IT platform .

iii. Reflected in the Ministry Development Policy
Letter (LPDSE).
Suggestion
Note: A. Idem for all other ministries involve in the
NDC Mitigation Component: Ministry in charge of
Transport (TR), Agriculture (AG), Forestry (FR),
Land Use (LU), Livestock (LV).
B. The Ministries Priority Project Lists put to getter is
the National Development Plan (NDP), therefore
Ensure that NDC = NDP.
C. Remaining component will be a legal/regulatory
Document to develop for the coordination (roles &
responsibilities, deliverables and time schedule) of all
parties involve in the MRV arrangements.
Key is that the NDC to be articulated with National Development Plan
Development of INDCs has been a bottom up approach in order to ensure participation of all players that may impact increase of GHG, now NDCs have to be broken down to provide ownership to involved Ministry to ensure that Mitigation actions are in the Ministry Priority Project lList
Added Value: 1. Built ownership; 2. Be at the heart of the Ministries development agenda; 3. Have a regulatory arrangements at the Ministry level.
15. NDC broken down.
