The main objective of this project is to implement an enabling process involving all relevant national stakeholders to prepare and submit Sudan's Third National Communication (TNC) and first Biennial Update Report (BUR) to the UNFCCC in accordance with agreed UNFCCC guidelines (Decision 17/CP.8 and 2.CP/17). The preparation of the TNC will build on the Second National Communication and the development in the implementation of climate actions in Sudan over the past reported period. The process for preparation of national communications and BUR will contribute to building technical capacities within the related sectors and institutions and is expected to lead to informing number of climate actions and policies on both adaptation and mitigation. In addition, this project is also aiming to build some technical and institutional capacities to assist Sudan in coping with the new UNFCCC obligations such as the need for regular preparation of national communications and BURs and national arrangements for reporting, monitoring and verification (MRV). The TNC and First by BUR will be completed by the end of the project and submitted after the government endorsement, which is planned to take place 3 months after finalization (September 2020).
