| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | More specific plan on risk control and adaptive management |
| 2 | More inclusive stakeholder engagement plan 1).More stakeholders could be involved in the future NC project, for instance, the industrial associations could be involved in 1) project design; 2) substantial inventory development. 2).PSC members could be more inclusive, to involve more industrial partners (such as more industrial associations) 3).The PSC members could play more active role, not only in annual project planning and meeting, but also more project daily management decision-making activities. |
| 3 | Feasibility study to move the PMO to the outside of MEE |
| 4 | Documentation, and Dissemination of Success Stories, as well as more knowledge sharing actions |
| 5 | Seek new South-South cooperation project under the coordination of UNDP. During the TE process, in consultation with MEE and NPD, it was found that there were extensive South-South cooperation activities on climate change are being conducted by MEE with other countries under the framework of BRI, and MEE is very interested in seeking opportunities to develop NC related cooperation under its BRI program, so, is suggested by TE, during the preparation of 4NC, the preparation team could hold special consultative meetings with MEE and UNDP regional office to discuss the feasibilities of these kinds of cooperation under 4NC. |
