ARMENIA NATIONAL CAPACITY SELF-ASSESSMENT FOR GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
UNDP/GEF/ARM/02/G31/A/1G/99

The objective of the NCSA project is to determine the priority needs, and a plan of action, for developing Armenia's
capacity to meet its commitments to global environmental management. The project will focus on capacity related
issues, common across the conventions, assessing the capacities for adressing those issues in a synergistic
fashion, including needs associated with strengthening of existing institutional mechanisms and developing networks.

CAPACITY BUILDING FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES
(EUROPE/CIS REGION)

The project will initiate a regional programmatic approach developed to build capacity for improving the quality of data inputs to national greenhouse gas inventories, using the good practice guidance of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change for cost-effectiveness. The project will build on the expertise gained during the preparation of the initial National Communications. By strengthening institutional capacity to prepare inventories and establishing a trained, sustainable inventory team, the project will help countries to reduce uncertainties and improve the quality of inventories for subsequent National Communications. This, in turn, will
allow countries to improve national strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The project includes common activities for all participating countries carried out under a regional umbrella; countries may choose the remaining activities to carry out, based on national priorities. The approach has been built on the concept of key sources of emissions; this allows the approach to be replicated for use in other regions with only minor modifications.
Participating countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Georgia, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
