By Rennkamp, B. Dane, A. Boyd, A. • 2012

The World Resources Institute (WRI) is leading the Measurement and Performance Tracking (MAPT) initiative in six developing countries, including South Africa. The goal of this project is to work in partnership with national actors to build capacity and promote shared perspectives and readiness among key stakeholders on the design and implementation of credible systems to make mitigation actions by developing countries measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV), at the national, policy, and industry levels.

The ERC are part of this initiative, and after a scoping report have produced 3 case studies on MRV in South Africa. One looks at MRV processes through the three tiers of local, provincial and national government. Another looks at the MRV processes for co-benefits of mitigation projects and the third examines the MRV processes relating to the solar water heater roll out in South Africa.
