| Support for the establishment of a National Monitoring and Evaluation System for the implementation of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) (2021) |
In the context of Axis 1 of the Adapt'Action Facility set up by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to participate in the operationalisation of the Paris Climate Agreement and the implementation of the adaptation dimensions of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Niger is engaged in the implementation of a national monitoring and evaluation system of the implementation of the adaptation component of the NDC in Niger.
This tool, on the one hand, will form part of the national steering of the NDC implementation and will effectively respond to Niger's accountability in the context of the implementation of the Paris Agreement. In the long term, this tool could also contribute to the operationalisation of the future Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system that will be established to meet the accountability requirements of climate change mitigation. The mandate aims to: (i) support the Nigerien authorities in carrying out an inventory of existing monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, (ii) on the basis of the revised NDC and existing mechanisms, define in a participatory and consensual manner of the monitoring framework and the NDC monitoring indicators, and (iii) Develop a national tool for collecting and monitoring indicators to be informed by stakeholders at the cross-cutting and sectoral levels and support the MELCD in capacity building on the national monitoring and evaluation system. |
