Via Zoom: Project partners on the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) project this morning held the final CBIT Quarterly Project Steering Committee (PSC) and Inter-Sector Meeting to discuss project outputs, achievements and challenges and also propose strategies and recommendations for sustainability of the project outcomes.

Presenting at the meeting, Dr. Felly Tusiime, the CBIT Uganda Project Manager, also Head of Climate Change and Environment Sustainability programme at AfrII said “We need flexibility across the sectors to share data for effective reporting. The expertise within the sectors should actively engage in national sectoral international reporting including UNFCCC e.g TNC and BUR as part of the task force.” Dr. Felly also strongly pointed out the need to operationalise the signed cooperation frameworks between MWE-CCD and the target ministries for sustainability of the project outcomes.

CBIT Uganda is funded by the Global Environment Facility through Conservation International and is implemented by AfrII and the Ministry of Water and Environments’ Climate Change Department (CCD). The project’s 3 key outcomes were: Support establishment and strengthening the institutional arrangements for robust GHG emission inventory and MRV system, build capacity of key stakeholders to collect, process and feed data into the GHG emissions inventory system and test and pilot the Green House Gas (GHG) Emission Inventory and Monitoring Reporting Verification (MRV) system.
