Initial ICAT support focused on the establishment of institutional arrangements, including design and implementation of legal frameworks, data collection, reporting and verification methodologies and procedures within and between the relevant stakeholders that will facilitate a robust and continuous national MRV framework and and to assess the impact of policy and measures in the energy sector. The current ICAT project in Mozambique aims to enhance Mozambique's capacity to track climate action progress, improve reporting, assess adaptation impacts, and explore carbon market opportunities to increase climate ambition.

Overview
Strengthen Mozambique’s capacities and national MRV systems for climate change, to enable effective tracking on progress of implementation of its NDCs and related reporting through Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), while enhancing capacities to assess the impacts of sub-national adaptation plans towards national targets. In addition, the project will also explore opportunities to participate in carbon market approaches and generation of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes, towards increased NDC ambition.
