The West African South-South Network on MRV and Transparency has been created on October 2016 from a technical and financial collaboration between the Regional Collaboration Centre of Lome (RCC Lome) and UNEP/UNDP Global Support Programme, with the technical and financial support of regional and international organizations, namely UNFCCC, FAO, ECREEE and Agrhymet.

The vision for the Network is to have operational MRV systems by 2020 in the West African countries engaged. So far, 14 countries officially joined the Network, namely: Nigeria, Benin, Niger, Togo, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Cote d´Ivoire, Mali, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Gambia.

The objective of the Network is to facilitate South-South exchanges of knowledge, experiences and good practices on appropriate institutional arrangements for MRV, support capacity development activities and create awareness within national institutions involved in the preparation, improvement and submission of Biennial Update reports (BUR), National Communications (NC) and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in line with the enhanced transparency framework established by the Paris Agreement.
