Information matters: summary report of the first phase of the project : capacity building for ambitious reporting and facilitation of international mutual learning through peer-to-peer exchange

Abstract

The aim of the GIZ Information Matters (IM) project is to build capacity in sustainable climate change-related reporting in selected partner countries, which for the first phase of IM were: Chile, Dominican Republic, Ghana and the Philippines. The project has provided tailored capacity building in each country based on the needs identified and agreed with the partner organizations of each country. In particular, activities aimed to strengthen capacities to enable ambitious and sustainable climate reporting by bridging information and data gaps and improving processes and procedures according to requirements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and thus, helping to achieve robust and enhanced reporting in their national communications (NCs) and biennial update reports (BURs).
