Expected project outcomes

Through the proposed outputs and activities, the project should achieve the following by its completion: 
 

Outcome Indicator Target

1. DRC’s government has demonstrated:

  • Increased capacity to assess and model their SLCP emissions, to prioritize and implement SLCP mitigation measures, and to track progress
  • Increased knowledge on their institutional arrangements, policy and regulatory environment, and SLCP implementation cost requirements.
 Number of government entities with a demonstrated improved capacity for SLCP action 1

2. DRC’s government endorses the methane roadmap.

Number of action plans, roadmaps, strategies, or other future plans with SLCP targets or mitigation measures formally adopted, endorsed, and/or implemented

 1

Minimum required outputs

The project should deliver at a minimum: 

  • Updated and improved SLCP emission projections and mitigation assessments in key source sectors, including an assessment of the institutional arrangements, the policy and regulatory environment, the cost and financing of implementation, and a monitoring and evaluation framework for mitigation as a contribution to DRC’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), its implementation plans, and monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) framework.  
  • A methane roadmap that follows a methodology agreed with the CCAC Secretariat, building on the above-mentioned assessments. 
  • Capacity building workshops and support tools to train personnel in the Ministry and other relevant institutions focused on developing and updating a national inventory for SLCP emitting sectors, the development of mitigation assessments (i.e., using LEAP), and the integration of SLCPs within DRC’s climate change planning processes.  
  • A portfolio of projects (project proposals and concept notes) for SLCP mitigation in DRC, also considering the inputs generated by the SLCP mitigation assessments. 

Applicants are encouraged to propose additional outputs as needed to ensure the expected project outcomes are achieved.
