Improve knowledge management of project results by:
• Capturing lessons learned, good practices and knowledge management products in a separate report that will be transparently published online. This project is one of the first CBIT projects approved in the world, and therefore it can feed other CBIT projects and enhance their implementation.
• Reviewing the MRV platform modules and the national climate change web site and uploading the missing studies, reports, technical papers, guidelines and manuals, developed under different components.
• Turning some of the training material and manuals into interactive self-learning tools and enhance the cooperation with National Academy for Public Administration (NAPA) regarding accredited courses on MRV of data and information in the field of climate change.
• Targeted dissemination of CBIT knowledge products as part of the dissemination of UNDP Energy Efficiency (EE) portfolio products and also through cooperation with communication office of the MoEP.

Maintain/enhance the link with GEF Climate Smart Urban Development (CSUD) project, to connect the CSUD IT system for LSGs with the MRV tool (ensuring thus inputs and contributions from the LSGs also), as well as with the Green Climate Fund National Adaptation Plan (GCF-NAP) project, to connect its online and open platform on climate related data with the MRV tool (ensuring thus adequate focus on adaptation component also). Furthermore, when finalized, ensure integration of the Forestry Information System developed under Global Environment Facility /Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (GEF/MoAFW) project on forestry management.

- The Ministry already expressed the need for continuation of support in the development of two Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR) and 4th National Communication. Also, the Ministry expressed need for continuation of joint work with UNDP in the implementation of the MRV system and related capacity building through CBIT 2 project under the GEF 8 programming cycle.

Consider the following proposal for components of future projects in the area:
• Peer to peer or mentorship training for municipalities on preparation of Local Adaptation Plan (based on methodology for Local Adaptation Plan developed under the CBIT);
• Training modules for framework for following the gender aspects of climate change in the seven thematic areas - Participation in decision making and policy design; Access to resources; Economy and employment; Consumption, lifestyles and living conditions; Education; Health and health protection; Climate change knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. The utilization of the CBIT gender sensitive monitoring framework for development of gender responsive methodologies and guidelines for improving national climate change adaptation planning under the GCF-NAP project should be taken as a good starting point.
• Training modules for Carbon Budget Tagging in consultation with the Ministry of Finance and LSGs;
• Climate change trainings for media;
• MRV framework for local adaptation measures;
• In-depth sectorial elaboration of the MRV system (for energy, agriculture, forestry, health etc…);
• Training to MoEP and other relevant ministries on the use of the improved data that will be available through MRV platform in policy design and decision making in various areas.
