Lessons learned from GHG inventory capacity building efforts

• 1. Building basic statistical and scientific capacity is key for

improving the overall capacity

• 2. The 8‐year experience of intensively implementing capacity

building support, especially for institutional capacity building, was outstanding for a country with higher capacity, like Viet Nam

• 3. Routinely monitor capacity building efforts and evaluate
• utcomes can facilitate directing resources where needs are

high and expand effective capacity building approaches 1)

Question to the panelists

• a. The enhanced transparency framework strongly brings

forward the notion of continuous improvement and building capacity over time. Could you describe how your country has approached this idea of continuous improvement and how you’ve built momentum for improvement over time?

• b. Given the need for all countries to submit biennial

transparency reports every two years, capacity building efforts must be mobilized in a more effective, more sustained, and faster manner. For you, what is the most important consideration to ensure that capacity building efforts are most effective moving forward?
