Status of project outputs and activities

1.1 An integrated monitoring system of Climate Change for Honduras (between the National Observatory of Climate Change - ONCC-DS; the Environmental Documentation Centre – CREDIA; and the Climate Change Management and Monitoring Unit UGMCC) designed and operationalized

1.1.1 A centralized monitoring system for improved data access and information management established in the Climate Change Management and Monitoring Unit (UGMCC)

A1. Define the technical, organisational and administrative elements associated with the establishment and operation of UGMCC and ONCC-DS as a centralized monitoring system for improved data access and information management established in the UGMCC.

A2. Define and develop the legal framework for a permanent operation of UGMCC and ONCC-DS as a centralized monitoring system for improved data access and information management

A3. Create a roadmap for the further development of the transparency system

1.1.2 A set of country climate change specific indicators of the monitoring system developed

B1. Realize a set of activities to raise awareness among stakeholders of the benefits of a national MRV or M&E system, with precise and timely inputs from all data providers

B2. Validate a set of indicators for mitigation, adaptation and cross sectoral themes

B3. Generate guidelines for applying the set of indicators for mitigation, adaptation and cross sectoral themes

B4. Provide training and guidance on how to interpret the information associated with the set of indicators and how to use the information to support decision-making

1.1.3 A national financial mechanism for the operation of the Integrated Monitoring System of Climate Change developed

C1. Develop a transition roadmap between International Funds and National budget for financing the operation of the Integrated Monitoring System of Climate Change on a regular basis

C2. Identify additional financial opportunities for the ONCC-DS

C3. Define and implement an overall (national) financial mechanism

1.1.4 Operating guidelines, protocols and logistical arrangements for data collection, reporting, monitoring and verifying climate change data developed between UGMCC and ONCCDS

D1. Define operating guidelines and protocols for the permanent preparation of National Reports and Documents of Honduras

D2. Define IT Requirements for the data collection, reporting, monitoring and verifying of climate change data, and the establishment of the web-based platform for UGMCC.

1.1.5 A formal program to strengthen capacities and exchange information developed

E1. Identify gaps and training needs for compliance with climate change commitments of Honduras and define a training programme for Government officials involved and other stakeholders of the country

E2. Define and prepare the materials for implementing the training programme.

E3. Create an online platform for continuous management of the training program, and as a portal for the public to access information

E4. Execute training programs on transparency
