Nigeria

ICAT support focuses 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 for the oil & gas sectors, road Transport and LULUCF, and to assess the impact of policy and measures in the energy sector. Simultaneously, ICAT is supporting Nigeria in establishing a Just Transition M&E framework.
