Such efforts should also include identifying information and data gaps, as well as capacity-building needs in statistical authorities and bodies of the EECCA countries. All the above-mentioned analysis could lead to better evidence-based decision making in designing future climate targets and necessary policies, and help mobilise private sector investment and domestic financial resources. Such benefits include reducing duplication and transaction costs; enhancing a country’s ownership over accessing and using financial resources; strengthening linkages between climate policies and the country’s core planning and budgeting processes; and improving accountability and transparency.
