Tanzaniaâ€™s Climate Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) To comply with the requirements of the transparency framework under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The centralized data collection and sharing platform operationalized within the online National Climate Platform hosted on the website of NCMC will improve knowledge sharing among stakeholder of Tanzania on the country’s efforts to reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change. For example, data collected for estimating emissions for all IPCC sectors for both mitigation and adaptation. Once the platform becomes operational, linkages can be developed for other socio-economic data to better inform decision-making. These enhanced systems will enable Tanzania to better track and manage its natural resources, thus allowing for interventions to be planned, implemented, and evaluated more promptly and efficiently. The platform will act as host to modular databases for a centralized data collection and sharing and will make it possible to provide up-to-date statistics, indicators and geographical information about climate change causes and impacts to the public, both for decision-making in the private sector or by citizens, and for the government itself for policymaking. The available data can also be used by researchers to improve assessments leading to better decisions on adaptation and community resilience building. Tanzania’s economy is dependent on agriculture and fisheries sectors which are directly impacted by climate change. Consequently, the tracking of NDC adaptation activities will serve to provide information about climate change impacts on agriculture to improve planning and ensure sustainable food production systems for enhanced security.Implementation of NDC climate actions for finance and both mitigation and adaptation will require public and private sector interventions in the form of investments. A National Climate Platform website will make available good quality data and information, the country will be in a better position to track and evaluate the impact of its policies and enable adjustments to improve outcomes. The improved management and tracking of the impacts of policies and measures will ensure more efficient use of resources and resources can be reallocated for other public and private sector investments and interventions, resulting in improved socio-economic benefits. For example, a good quality historical inventory will provide a better basis for baseline projections and a sound mitigation analysis and scenarios development, this information will allow a better assessment of the impacts of policies and measures and support more targeted mitigation measures ad emission reduction for the priority sectors identified in the NDC. This means that the government of Tanzania will be able to gather detailed information and data on the economic activities responsible for emissions and sinks, which will serve as basis not only for identifying the best GHG emissions reduction measures based on the estimation of emissions within the context of GHG inventory preparation. Similarly, the information on adaptation collected under the M&amp;E system will not only boost resilience but also inform the government of Tanzania on other aspects such as food security, access to water resources and improved sanitation, thus enhancing decision-making informed by quality reports.One of the most important benefits, especially for the medium and longer term, is the integration of climate information in the national planning process. The wide array of disaggregated data collected, compiled, analysed and archived within the platform will provide a robust base for informed national policymaking on climate and other related matters, an element that will be fully developed as part of Output 1.2 Additionally, the CBIT project will establish formal institutional arrangements and a legal framework to MRV GHG emissions, NDC implementation on mitigation and adaptation, as well as support received and needed as laid out under output 2.4. This will guarantee a regular sustainable flow of data and other information to support public and private interventions.
