The preparation of the First Biennial Report will further strengthen national capacities for technical reporting in line with BR guidelines, initiate the preparation of several NAMA concepts and enhance national capacities in MRV and sectoral assessments as well.

The project will provide links between climate change studies through the BR process to the wider national development agenda. The analysis will also combine necessary institutional framework in order to ensure consistency and sustainability of national communication process.
