5. Challenges for National System to Track Progress of NDC Implementation
1. DESIGN Challenges
Orientation towards

Traditional input‐based evaluation (e.g. amount of resource injected/disbursed, description ofactivities) to measuring & reporting impact/results for each mitigation action/measure under NDC

Trackable
Progress Indicators

Defining progress indicators to accommodate sector‐specific nature of actions (data requirements,institutional arrangement) & underlying assumptions
Treatment of qualitative actions (e.g. development of plans, CB, outreach)Harmonization
w/existing system(reporting, M&E)

Harmonization with• Existing M&E requirements by supporting sectoral laws, policies, programmes• Reporting format• Databases (if reporting and data storage are digitized)

Impact/Results

2. OPERATIONAL ChallengesCostVS Efficiency
Sustainability& Incentives

How to balance stringency for NDC tracking purpose vs operational efficiency• Methodological approach (data requirement & time)• Mode for evaluation/verification (e.g. appropriate space for technical backstopping, HL
endorsement, 3rd party evaluation)
Resources(budget) to operationalize the cycle of progress tracking
Fiscal/non‐fiscal incentives for those who engage? (e.g. additional support from thegovernment in case of delayed actions)How to maintain institutional memory & enhance domestic capacity pool

Framing Questions
Country Experiences
1. How far are the designing national framework to track implementation and achievement ofNDC PROGRESSING in ASEAN countries, including INDICATORS development?
2. What PRACTICAL CHALLENGES encountered, and any EARLY LESSONS drawn to make suchtracking system work in specific country context?
DP’s Experiences
3. How do development partners ENGAGE in supporting designing and implementing NDC
tracking system in the region?
4. What are the key TAKE‐AWAYS, and what CAPACITIES need to be built further ensure
operational sustainability?
Capturing Private Sector
5. What are the EARLY LESSONS drawn from the regional study to capture private sector effort

to reduce GHGs?
