Mandatory indicator 2: Number of direct project beneficiaries with gender disaggregated data.
Mandatory IRRF indicator 1:1.4.1 a: Extent to which climate finance is being accessedIndicator 4: Number of municipalities having an integrated cross-sectoral on-line information management system with open public access covering at least the energy, transport and waste sectors with regularly updated monitoring data and clearly defined sector specific performance targets, which are disaggregated, to the extent possible, by gender.Indicator 5: Number of municipal CSUD indicators, for which data is publicly available on line
Indicator 6: Annual number of data users (combined for all the participating municipalities) and disaggregated, to the extent possible, by gender.
Indicator 7: Number of municipalities producing annual CSUD performance reports
Indicator 8: Number of new innovative technical and systemic solutions and/or business models contributing to climate smart urban development identified, tested and replicatedIndicator 9: Number of direct beneficiaries with gender disaggregated data from the measures implemented
Indicator 10: Status of the Project MRV system and quality of the data delivered by thatIndicator 11: Agreed knowledge management products and events delivered
Indicator 12: Number of expressions of interest received for replicating the project intervention strategy, specific technical solutions or business models for new projects and/or municipalities
