Timeframe

Relevant context 

Niger is a non-Annex I Sahelian country, three-fourths of the area of which is situated in the desert zone, which makes it highly exposed to climate risks, with rainfall that is highly variable during the year in terms of both space and time.

Process for developing NDC 

The preparation of the NDC has included the following steps: designation of an NDC focal point; establishment of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) made up of the stakeholders; the scoping mission and kick-off workshop; the collection of data and documentary research; the workshop on capacity development and validation of options and analytical results; the national validation workshop on the draft NDC; the adoption of the NDC by the government of Niger; and the submission of the NDC to COP21 in Paris on December 15.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

The NDC states that the implementation process includes:

  • Enhancement of institutional, technical, financial and telecommunications capabilities and technology transfer.
  • Development of standard files, Strategic Environmental and Social Assessments (SESA) and Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), Measurement, Notification and Verification (MVN) procedures, project registration
  • Inclusive participation (private sector, NGO’s, civil society).
  • Niger has also created a “Country monitoring and evaluation system” which takes into account gender, measurement, notification and verification (MNV) procedures, and a register of NDC projects.
