CAEP support

Zimbabwe’s sectoral action plans have been informed by new modeling and analysis.

• CAEP supported a sectoral vulnerability assessment. The analysis spanned 14 targeted sectors and tracked changes to the spatial distribution of vulnerability over time.
• For the AFOLU sector, CAEP organized training on statistical analysis, data management, map validation, and monitoring of land use change and land cover. The training outlined how to create greenhouse gas emission inventories and report them under UNFCCC and IPCC guidelines.

Zimbabwe developed its MRV system to track low emissions development and financing strategy.

• CAEP supported capacity building of key sectors and focal persons in MRV management. Specifically, the technical support focused on methodologies, data collection and analysis for the sub-sectors of AFOLU.
• CAEP additionally focused on developing a template for bankable project proposals. Through this support, The Government of Zimbabwe already secured funding for The Dryland Sustainable Landscape Impact Program.

CAEP support

The Government of Zimbabwe enhanced the transparency of its NDC, by following the ICTU guidelines and including information the process and assumptions for setting the NDC targets.

• Next to defining NDC targets, CAEP supported the process of mapping and documentation of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices at national level, which enabled standardization and transparency in reporting to UNFCCC.
• Zimbabwe enhanced the inclusiveness of its NDC by considering impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities.
• As part of the vulnerability and risk assessment, multi-dimensional poverty index (MPI) indicators were used as a proxy to measure regional vulnerability across the country.
