Project's full title	Global capacity building towards enhanced transparency (CBIT-AFOLU+)
Introduction	The Global Capacity Building towards Enhanced Transparency (CBIT-AFOLU+) project aims to enhance countries' capacity to meet the reporting requirements of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement. It focuses on providing technical guidance for establishing more sustainable institutional arrangements, applying the most effective capacity-building techniques at the country level, and continuing to develop and refine innovative content and tools.

Project Code	GCP /GLO/11316/GFF
Objective / Goal	Under the Paris Agreement, each Party is required to communicate their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) once every five years, increasing ambition over time, and to monitor every two years the implementation through the Biennial Transparency Report (BTR), starting from December 2024, according to the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF). The transparency challenges that countries face in the agriculture and land use sectors are particularly pronounced and widely accepted in the international community. It is central for countries to rely on strong and effective institutional arrangements, robust data and adequate expertise for Measuring Reporting and Verification (MRV) and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in the sectors to track the implementation of the NDCs transparently, to meet the BTR requirements and, more broadly, to assess the impact of climate change policies and actions. The CBIT-AFOLU+ project will build on the good practices and previous lessons learned and apply them in a strategic way with a view to consolidating technical and knowledge abilities developed. Key areas of innovation in the CBIT-AFOLU+ are based on modalities and contents that proved the most successful in building and retaining capacity at country level, and in general in supporting countries increase their transparency.
