A National Green House Gas (GHG) inventory system includes all institutional, legal and procedural arrangements made Parties to the UNFCCC, for estimating anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases.

The objective of developing Uganda’s GHG inventory management system include: Enable the country to estimate anthropogenic GHG emissions by

sources and removal/sinks;

Assisting in meeting its obligations under UNFCCC;

Facilitate review of climate information for national reporting to inform policy decision making

Assist in improving the quality of climate data Management

2

The CCD,Ministry of Water and Environment is mandated among others to develop and maintain a robust National GHG inventory system and strengthen capacity of all sector players on GHG Inventory development and management

Uganda now is in advanced stages of finalizing the NIS with support from UNDP –LECB project. In addition to NIS,the project also is supporting Uganda in the development of NAMAs and MRV system.

The project has supported preparation of the INDC and the Green Growth Development Strategy (GGDS)

With finalization of GHG System, it will enhance preparation of TNC,BUR and NDC reporting as well as other national reporting requirements.

Component 1: Planning, Communication and Institutional Arrangements (Manual developed)

Component 2: Data Collection, Documentation, Software Applications and Analysis Methods (Manual developed)

Component 3: Development, Review and Description of QA/QC Procedures (Being Completed)

Component 4: Development, Review and Description of Archiving System (Being developed)

Component 5: Key category analysis (NGHGI Report being developed/could provide input to TNC/BUR)

Component 6: Development of National Inventory Improvement Plan (NIIP Required)- Gaps identified- no country specific Efs.

Component 7: Strengthening National Capacities for Inventory Planning and Management – Further training of Staff required especially tailor made skills and knowledge on GHG inventory

5

The Capacity Building required on Data Collection at source/ thematic sector levels, and documentation of

activity data and emission factors

Software Applications and Analysis Methods (Further training) Review and adoption of the QA/QC Procedures –how you can support it especially in dev’t of EFs

Review, Development, and Description of Archiving System (Ongoing National GHG database and sharing )harmonization of data capture procedures and measurement units at source level

Development of national/country specific emission factors in the AFOLU sector – livestock, agriculture and Forestry. data is captured differently, need CB-especially under LULUCF

Establish a national center of excellence for GHG compilations and future monitoring and verifications. Need for support from ILRI GHG lab to establish satellite center in Uganda

Improve the inventory compilations from TIER I to TIER II.
