Lessons learned from GHG inventory capacity building efforts 1. Building basic statistical and scientific capacity is key for improving the overall capacity 2. The 8‐year experience of intensively implementing capacity building support, especially for institutional capacity building, was outstanding for a country with higher capacity, like Viet Nam 3. Routinely monitor capacity building efforts and evaluate outcomes can facilitate directing resources where needs are high and expand effective capacity building approaches 1) 1) A de taile d pro po sal c an also be fo und he re : Gille nwate r, M., 2019, Ho w e nhanc e d mo nito ring & e valuatio n c an de live r transpare nc y and c apac ity building , a pre se ntatio n made at the T hird Wo rksho p o n the CBI T Glo bal Co o rdinatio n Platfo rm in Ro me , I taly. 8 I nstitute fo r Glo bal E nviro nme ntal Strate g ie s 8

Question to the panelists a. The enhanced transparency framework strongly brings forward the notion of continuous improvement and building capacity over time. Could you describe how your country has approached this idea of continuous improvement and how you’ve built momentum for improvement over time? b. Given the need for all countries to submit biennial transparency reports every two years, capacity building efforts must be mobilized in a more effective, more sustained, and faster manner. For you, what is the most important consideration to ensure that capacity building efforts are most effective moving forward? 9 I nstitute fo r Glo bal E nviro nme ntal Strate g ie s 9
