Announcement Positions

Announcement Description

Cambodia will prepare and submit its BTR2/NC4 and BTR3. The project will take full consideration of the capacity-building needs, gaps, and constraints in various thematic areas as analyzed in its First BTR (BTR1). The country has been building national capacity through participation in previous national reports, and it is expected that the BTR2/NC4 and BTR3 will continue to advance the national capacity-building process and institutionalization of the greenhouse inventory process into the Government of Cambodia through the General Directorate of Policy and Strategy, the Ministry of Environment. This will advance the continuity and sustainability of future reporting processes. The project has been designed with one outcome, which is that Cambodia updates tools and approaches to meet its reporting requirements under the Paris Agreement. This outcome will be realized through the following three outputs:

  1. Combined BTR2/NC4 prepared through gender-sensitive processes and submitted to the UNFCCC.
  2. BTR3 prepared through gender-sensitive processes and submitted to the UNFCCC.
  3. The GEF project is effectively monitored and evaluated.

Under the cooperation between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Ministry of Environment (MoE), the project “The Second Biennial Transparency Report/Fourth National Communication (BTR2/NC4)” is looking for an administrative and finance assistant to support the development of the Initial Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1).
