3. Reliability

4. Usefulness

5. Timeliness

6. Completeness

Core characteristics of an MRV system

• Roles and responsibilities

• Coordination and cooperation

• Capacity and skills and training

Institutional

• Tools and guidelines

• Indicator definition and monitoring

• Baseline setting; projections

• Data and information collection

• Analysis and quality control

• Verification (internal and external)

• Reporting and dissemination

• Continuous improvement

• Stakeholder engagement

Procedural

This includes all procedures, processes and systems

• Objective of the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP)

To operationalise the the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS)

• A multi-stakeholder/multi-sectoral process:

– Spearheaded by the Government

– In collaboration with the Private Sector; Academia; Civil Society & other stakeholders

– With support from development partners

– Coordinated by a multi-disciplinary Task Force

– Technical input through Technical Working Groups

– Involved consultations at National & County Levels

• An integrated framework for the MRV of mitigation and adaptation actions; and the

synergies between them

• One stop shop for

– National/sub-national planning and monitoring

(V2030 – Kenya’s development programme covering the period 2008 to 2030;

Medium Term Plans; Nationally Integrated M&E System; Kenya National Bureau of

Statistics; County)

– UNFCCC reporting obligations (NCs, BURs, NAMAs Registry)

– Climate finance readiness (National Adaptation & Mitigation Registry; Carbon

Markets)

• Simplified coordination/governance to minimise need for extra staff

• Use of established institutions

Important features of MRV+ / NPBMF system


KCCAP Components & output streams

• Major response

actions to Climate

change are in NAPS &

NAMAs

• Analyses were done

on abatement

potentials of potential

NAMAs in Industry,

Energy, Transport

sectors and scenarios

generated


Objectives of the Kenya National Performance and Benefit

Measurement Framework

Objective of the work

• To develop a National Performance and

Benefit Measurement Framework (NPBMF)

• The NPBMF is an integrated framework for

measuring, reporting and verifying results

of mitigation actions, adaptation actions and

the synergies between them

The “MRV+ system”

• A system has been designed that sits within a

wider NPBMF combining adaptation and mitigation

functions

• Incorporates

– Measurement Reporting and Verification (MRV)

of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and

mitigation activities

– Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the

adaptation activities

Example of GHG inventory element of the MRV+ System


MRV+ System governance hierarchy

• Governance and

reporting have

been kept simple to

avoid complex

management, and

to minimise the

extra number of

staff needed


NCCAP implementation status

Sub

Component

Example of implementation

1

Mainstreaming NCCAP in national development planning (MTP

2013-17); Briefing notes for MTP Sector Working Groups;

Sensitisation of MTP Sector Working Groups Secretariats;

Mainstreaming climate change mitigation and adaptation in Energy

Sector (AFD).

2

National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) established of by

PSC(K); National Climate Change Policy & Bill by June 2014

(ongoing) – Coordinating Taskforce gazetted by Cabinet Secretary.

3

CCAFS collaboration to implement agriculture aspects (ongoing);

IKI funded WISE-UP project: To increase adaptive capacity the

Lower Tana River Basin; DFID funded Strengthening Adaptation &

Resilience to Climate Change in Kenya (StARCK+) project;

Upgrading of adaptation issues into NAP (ongoing); Agriculture,

Climate Change & Insurance (GIZ/MOALF); Islamic Farming: A

Manual for Conservation Agriculture (launch 27/3/14).


NCCAP implementation status

Sub

Component

Example of implementation

4

Several NAMAs in pipeline (EU-LECB); Geothermal NAMA – already in

UNFCCC NAMA Registry; MRT systems in at least 2 highways; Urban light

rail – Nairobi (ongoing).

5 Technology needs to be determined on case basis.

6

GHG Inventory & National forest monitoring systems institutionalised and

capacity building ongoing; Aspects of NPBMF being implemented in Isiolo

country under National Drought Management Authority – replication in 5

new counties; etc.

7

National Climate Change Resource Centre – under construction; Climate

Business Information Network (CBIN) under KEPSA; Lesson Learning

from National Climate Compatible Development Planning project –

CDKN/LTS.

8

Kenya Climate Fund in MTP 2013-17; Draft Carbon Trading & Investment

Policy; DFID funded Finance Innovation for Climate Change Fund (FICCF);

etc.

9 NCCAP actions tracking tool as part of the NPBMF/MRV+ system.


• NCCAP is an important milestone for Kenya

– Contributes to implementation of the Constitution

– Contributes to attainment of Vision 2030 &

Millennium Development Goals

• Implementation levels of different components differ

from sector to sector

• Aspects of the MRV+ system are being implemented

• Development of Climate Change Policy and Bill to give

legal backing to climate change coordination &

implementation of response actions

• Stakeholders have lots of useful information/knowledge

that can be used to inform national processes &

initiatives on climate change

• Such national processes & initiatives must be as

inclusive and consultative as possible in order to build

ownership across the different stakeholder categories

• Implementation of Kenya’s NCCAP will require the

contribution of all stakeholders and partners

Conclusions

http://www.kccap.info/




• Creating good MRV systems can be done

• You can build on the systems and governance you already have and integrate MRV

into them

• You may have more components than you think that can be used for MRV – for

example, M&E experience

• It is important to engage high level institutions early

• Simple is good!
