The project aims to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to establish and sustainably manage their national greenhouse gas inventory management systems (GHG-IMS), in line with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and the reporting requirements under the Paris Agreement ETF. Voluntary quality assurance (QA) workshops are promoted in the country to assess national GHG inventories and GHG-IMS, addressing key elements such as inventory planning, preparation and management, data collection, uncertainty analysis, key category analysis, QA/QC procedures, documentation, and archiving. By providing clear guidance for peer review in a non-intrusive and non-punitive manner, the project enhances the technical capacity of national experts to prepare high-quality inventory reports, maintain a sustainable GHG-IMS, and improve QA/QC processes both within and across countries.
