Project metrics

Outcome 1:

Capacity building for improved NDCs and market-based climate finance mechanisms to support NDCs implementation

 Indicators:

Mandatory Indicator 1 (from UNDP SP): Existence of targets for low emission and climate-resilient development in:
a) Development plans and strategies
b) Budgets
c) Private sector business plans and strategies
Mandatory indicator 2 (GEF CCM Core Indicator): Volume of investment mobilized and leveraged by the project for zero-carbon development, of which:
- public (mln US$)
- private (mln US$)[UNDP Strategic Plan 2018-2023, Output 2.5.1] “Amount of resources brokered by UNDP for investment in renewable energy and zero-carbon development”
Mandatory Indicator 3 (GEF CCM Core Indicator): Direct GHG emission reductions over the investment life-time
Indicator 4:
Status and sectoral coverage of NDCsIndicator 5: Status of domestic market-based climate finance mechanisms
Indicator 6 (based on GEF CCM Core Indicator and MRV rating system): Quality of MRV System
Indicator 7: Status of legal and regulatory framework for MRVIndicator 10: number of hectares (ha) of natural resources (forests, peatlands, etc) covered by MRV in line with international best practices and requirements
Indicator 11: number of users and beneficiaries of pilot MRV systems, including female
Indicator 8: Scale of building sector MRV system (heated area covered by MRV) in line with international best practices and requirements
Indicator 9: Scale of lighting sector MRV system (number of lighting fixtures covered by MRV) in line with international best practices and requirements
Outcome 2:
