REGIONAL EXPERIENCE SHARING WORKSHOP ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTIONS AND MONITORING, REPORTING AND VERIFICATION (MRV) TRAINING FOR THE WASTE SECTOR 17-21 FEBRUARY 2O2O, ABIDJAN, COTE D’IVOIRE

The report details a five-day event in February 2020 focused on waste sector climate mitigation in West Africa. It highlights the development of national biogas and compost strategies in Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal, shares biodigester success from Burkina Faso and waste recovery projects from Madagascar, and outlines a technical training program on GHG MRV systems to ensure transparency in NDC implementation.

• Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal have prioritized the waste sector for their NDCs, specifically targeting compost and biogas to reduce emissions, although they previously lacked clearly defined pathways and policy frameworks for these technologies.
• Côte d’Ivoire committed to a 28% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, with 2% attributed to the waste sector, while Senegal committed to a 13% total reduction by 2030, with the waste sector contributing 50% of that reduction.
• The ECOWAS region faces challenges in NDC implementation, including a lack of local skills in GHG emission evaluation and the absence of MRV systems adapted to the local context to ensure transparency and comparability.
• Burkina Faso's National Biodigester Program (PNB-BF), operational since 2009, achieved the installation of 13,100 domestic biodigesters and one institutional biodigester by September 30, 2019, and has been registered with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
• A waste management project in Toliara, Madagascar, established a 5-hectare resource recovery centre creating six value chains (organic, plastic, green waste, cardboard, scrap metal, and sandals) and generating over 100 jobs.
• The training component of the workshop provided national experts with a seven-module curriculum covering GHG inventory MRV, project MRV, verification processes, landfill gas capture, and the role of MRV in carbon markets.
