Project Title | Costa Rica's integrated reporting and transparency system |
Managing Division | Economy Division |
Type/Location | National |
Region | Latin America and the Caribbean |
List Countries | Costa Rica |
Project Description | GEF-CBIT will support Costa Rica in establishing an overarching structure across all sectors that will ensure high quality in its transparency instruments; and create the capacities to transcend in the usage of MRV for policy design inputs. CBIT’s most important contribution will occur through the creation of capacities at an inter-sectoral level. This cross-sectorial work is fundamental to Costa Rica due to the economy-wide nature of its’ NDC target, which seeks to drive deep, transformational de-carbonization which can only be achieved incorporating multi/inter-sectoral approaches. |
Estimated duration of project: | 36 months |
Estimated cost of the project : | GEF Grant: 1,000,000 Co-finance: 2,750,000 |
