Chapter 1: Background Information
1.1 Introduction
In 2013, Ghana launched a new programme on “climate ambitious reporting (CAR)”. The CAR program
aims at providing framework for coordinating all climate and related reporting efforts at a one-stop-shop.
Among many reasons, the Ghana Climate Ambitious Report Programme (otherwise called G-CARP)
seeks to facilitate putting in place an integrated national reporting system (INRS) that will enable Ghana
plan, prepare and publish its climate reports to the international and national audience on sustainable
basis. The G-CARP has many functional parts which work together in a unified manner to help Ghana
produce good quality reports that meet both national and international standards. The functional
components of the G-CARP are as follows: (1) setting-up of, or strengthening existing institutional
arrangement (2) operationalizing the collaborative mechanisms that underpin activities of the institutions
and above all, (3) online database and registry system (4) continuous training and capacity development
of new and existing teams.
The efficient functioning of the INRS in many ways will help Ghana meet its reporting obligations at the
national level as well as under the UNFCCC of (a) preparing national communication (NATCOM) every
4 years, (b) preparing biennial update report (BUR) every 2 years and (c) undertaking international
consultation and analysis (ICA) of the BUR as well as (d) informing national policy decision-making on
sustainable development. This would therefore mean that Ghana must begin to put in place measures to
support the strengthening of the existing institutional arrangements and data collection systems to ensure
that the country is able to meet accelerated reporting timelines.
One important objective of the G-CARP is to be able to support Ghana’s capability to generate, collate
and publish GHG inventory estimates both at the national, sectoral and where possible, “project level” at
regular intervals. The generation of GHG estimates will be done through conducting national GHG
inventories and monitoring of progress and impacts of implementation of mitigation actions on
continuous basis. The information that emerges from the continuous reporting of progress of
implementation of mitigation actions and its impacts will be useful for (a) providing valuable feedback on
how GHG emission reduction goals are being met, (b) how much volumes of emissions reduction has
been successfully attained, in which sector, and by which set of policy(ies), (c) communicate to policy
makers in the international community how Ghana is contributing to attaining 20C global goal and above
all (d) providing technical information to support monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the
national climate change policy and strategies for the five prioritized sectors.
This will require the following:
a. Ghana puts in place sustainable institutional arrangement that is able to respond to the frequent
reporting and review timelines and at the same time prepare good quality report.
b. Accelerating the process of strengthening the existing data collection and institutional
arrangement reforms that have started as part of the national communications.
c. Building synergies around existing mechanisms for continuous data generation, collection and
archiving.
d. Ensuring continuous training and up skilling for key stakeholders involved in the process.
e. Strengthening the system for “data documentation and archiving” using the online database.
f. Make sure investments are made into collecting non-existing data for sectors that are key sources
of greenhouse emissions.
g. Establish means for effective communication and disseminating of results that emerge to policy
makers and the general public ensure greater buy in.
h. Putting in place systems for the continuous monitoring of the implementation of policies and
measures that have positive impacts on GHG emission reductions.
The Low emission capacity building project (LECBP) is supporting the rolling-out of the G-CAR
programme. The support provided to Ghana targeted at further strengthening the efforts to put in place an
Page 3 of 59
integrated national system for GHG inventories, monitoring of implementation of mitigation actions and
the associated support received. The specific areas the support is targeting at includes: (a) harmonization
of the existing institutional arrangements and its underpinning collaborative mechanisms, (b) creation of
awareness and capacity improvement of key institutions that are involved in the preparation of the
national greenhouse gas inventory, mitigations and support, and (c) supporting structures for the
continuous data collection on GHG inventories, mitigations actions, and indicators for monitoring
progress of mitigation actions. In line with support, the MESTI & EPA organised 3-day workshop on
GHG inventory data management and establishment of MRV data sharing network at Capital View Hotel,
Koforidua, in the Eastern region of Ghana, from 21st to 23rd December, 2013. The specific activities in
the LECB project out of which the back-to-back workshop organised are as follows:
a. Support the establishment and operationalization of “GHG inventory central database” for
documentation and archiving of all inventory data/information.
b. Develop GHG inventory manual of procedures, QA/QC manual and tier-1 uncertainty assessment
for selected sectors.
c. Support continuous training key inventories staff especially on new and emerging topics
contained any UNFCCC/IPCC guidance or guidelines documents.
1.2 Scope and objectives workshop
1.2.1 Scope of workshop
The workshop adopted “discussion-based” and “hands-on” approaches to deliver the expected results.
The main reference materials that were used in the two workshops are (a) IPCC good practice guidelines,
(b) guidelines for the preparation of national communication and biennial update report, (c) National M &
E framework and (d) 2006 IPCC software. Because the workshop targeted at producing specific outputs
is that would be useful to the improvements of the INRS in future, participants were guided to focus their
discussions on the agenda. The workshop was in two parts (refer to annex 1 for copy of programme). First
part of the workshop focused on understanding the full range of data needs of the climate reporting
programme (biennial update reporting, Third National Communication) and how to put in place new or
strengthen existing national platforms (national data network) to support data collection on GHG,
mitigation actions, their effects and support on continuous basis. This would mean that a new set of
institutions, data collection networks and indicators are established to support process.
In the second part of the workshop, the discussions considered issues on how to bring sustainable
improvements in the national system (NIS) for the national GHG inventory. The discussions were done
based on the key issues that were raised by the sector leads institutions during their presentations. The
presentations by the lead sector institutions highlighted the current status of the GHG inventory which
was captured in the following number of issues; (a) the steps for data GHG collection, (b) trends of GHG
estimates where they are ready, (c) the data needs and (d) overview of the data challenges. During the
discussions, each inventory sector group focused on identifying the main data challenges, prioritized them
and fashioned out practical solutions for addressing them. Based on the discussions, each sector group
completed the “GHG data improvement strategy template” which will later be compiled into a road map
to guide the long-term improvements in the NIS.
In addition to the data issues that were discussed during the workshops, extensive discussions on how to
strengthen existing institutional arrangements and make it work better and efficiently was also
highlighted. The institution related discussions resulted in revised institutional arrangement to anchor the
operationalization of the INRS. The revision of the institutional arrangement sought to broaden
participation to include relevant national institutions that hitherto were not actively involved because of
the new reporting mandates. The revised institutional arrangement was designed in a way that it
incorporates all the major activities for the assessment and monitoring of GHG, mitigation actions and
support into an integrated structure. The revised structure was developed and agreed upon during the
workshop. The revised institutional structure (refer to annex 2) has (a) three (3) functional levels and
Page 4 of 59
integrated into three (3) activities, (b) introduced new institutional representations with clear roles and
responsibilities and (c) expanded the scope of activities (d) revised the terms of the collaborative
mechanisms. So far, (a) the revised teams have been constituted, discussed and agreed upon, (b) roles and
responsibilities and mechanism for data collection concluded and (c) the functional level within which
they will operate has been clearly defined.
1.2.2 Objectives of workshop
The workshop objectives were achieved by providing answers to the following questions:
a. What are the existing sources of data for the estimation of the national GHG estimates?
b. To what extent do the existing data needs of the GHG inventory being met? And what can be
done to improve data access, improve accuracy, reduce data gaps etc
c. What additional data generation and collection mechanisms that have not been tapped into?
d.
To what extent can their capabilities to be upgraded in order to become relevant to the INRS?
e. Can we put place a robust national data collection network that will be able to generate data on
regular basis?
• What should be the roles of key institutions?
• What strategies must be put in place at the institutional level in order to mainstream the
data collection network?
• What can be done to address the issues of data protection, confidentiality and
acknowledgement?
• How can we tap from the existing legal and regulatory processes for collecting data from
various sources? eg. Industry, research, academia, institutions with mandate to collect
specific data in their sector?
f.
What role(s) could the Ghana statistical service play considering - the periodicity of the surveys
they conduct, and their funding needs, to consider option for collecting data for the ambitious
reporting regime?
g. What the new data requirements under the new reporting regime and how can we set up
mechanism for collecting from the relevant sectors?
h. What capacities are needed by the various sectors to be able to understand and fully engage in the
overall process of designing GHG inventory systems, assessment of mitigation actions and effects
and reporting them?
1.2.3 Participation
Nearly 70 participants from 30 different public institutions, private companies, NGOs, research
institutions and universities attended the two workshops (refer to annex 3 for list of participants). During
GHG data management workshop, the invitees were from: (a) members of the five inventory sectors, (b)
data generators and (c) providers, (d) researchers and academics, and (f) practitioners. In the second
workshop, nearly 20 of the participants in the first workshop left to allow new ones who were more
relevant to the discussions on the MRV data sharing network workshop to take part in the discussions.

Chapter 2: Workshop Activities
2.1 GHG Data Management Workshop
After the opening of the workshop, Mr. K.Y. Oppong-Boadi (Ghana’s UNFCCC Focal Point), who
chaired, welcomed participants. In his welcome statement, he urged participants to contribute positively
to the discussions in order to help achieve the objectives of the workshop. The objectives and the
expectations of the workshop was provided by Mr. Daniel Benefor when was setting the scene for the
workshop. He stressed on the need for the discussions to focus on the main objective of the workshop in
order to produce the expected results.
2.1.2 Technical Presentations
Four (4) main technical presentations were made on different topics during the workshop. The
presentations that were made helped to (a) set the context for the discussions (b) provided highlights on
the status of the various GHG inventory initiatives and how the challenges they faced are being resolved
and (c) distill the salient messages to inform the discussions. The table 1 below provides summaries of
major highlights of the presentations.

What strategies can be put
in place or strengthen to
help get the support from
the “top hierarchy of public
institutions that provide
data”?
The EPA is currently using the
MOU
approach
the
operationalization
of
the
institutional
arrangement.
However, lot awareness and
continuous training of the sector
experts
could
help.
The
mainstreaming of the GHG
inventory activities in the sectors
must reflect in the workplan of
the various sectors.
How could such supports
would be galvanized to
facilitate greater data
sharing and access in the
long-to-medium term?
What is the major
challenge Ghana faces on
GHG data management?
What specific role(s) can
Ghana Statistical Services
and the academia play in
helping GHG data
collection on continuous
basis?
The data challenge boarder on the
following; non-existence of data
at all, data gaps, low data quality
and improper data format and
above lack of system to support
continuous data generations.
For the academia, students can be
given project topics on GHG
inventory and then can take that
opportunity to provide data on the
GHGI.
The GSS has the mandate to
collects all forms of data. In the
long-term, the GSS presents the
promising opportunity for the
continuous data collection. This

2.1.3 Break-Out Groups
During the break-out groups, 5 groups were formed based on the IPCC sectors. Each group was made up
of the GHG inventory sector leads, the collaborative organizations and data providers. The task of each
group was to focus on (a) identifying main data challenges in the sector, prioritized them and later fashion
out practical strategies/solutions to addressing them. The group tasks have been provided in the table
below:
Table 2: Summary of group tasks
Each group was tasked to do the following:
1. Review the key data needs and challenges that were presented by the sector lead and, where
possible identify additional ones.
2. Disaggregate data needs and challenges to the category level where possible.
3. Identify additional sources of data.
4. Discuss and agree on specific strategies that must be put in place to support the continuous
collection of data.
5. Identify what capacities are needed by the respective institutions to be able to participate in the
mainstreaming of GHG inventory activities effectively?
6. Discuss and agree on how the GHG process can be sustained and scaled up? –
7. Assess the extent can we use existing M&E reporting mechanisms (e.g national population
census, preparation of the Energy balance, national budgeting process, GLSSS, EIA process,
research outputs, etc.) to support data collection as well as tracking of implementation of
mitigation measures on continuous basis?
8. Identify relevant institutions, their data collection mechanism, and how GHG inventory process
can dovetail into it?
9. What new dataset must be we collect and through what means?
Page 8 of 59
10. What form of institutional strengthening mechanism must be put in place to support the
preparation of the BURs every two years?
11. How can we derive great value of the ambitious reporting mechanism and make it relevant for
national development planning?
12. Can the existing national system (institutional arrangement, roles, procedures and
responsibilities) be able to (a) produce good quality reporting every two and four years
sustainably as well as the review process? How do we make is better to perform efficient?
In additions, following the discussions the groups completed the “GHG data improvement strategy
template” (refer to appendix 7). Before the discussions commenced, each of the sector leads, presented
the current state of the inventory process including the steps for data collection, the estimates where they
are ready, the data needs and an overview of the data challenges. The points that were raised by the sector
leads formed the basis for the discussions in each sector.
2.1.2.4 Summary of issues raised during the plenary
The session continued after the completion of the group work and presentation of the outcomes by the
elected member of the sector groups. After the presentations participants asked questions, comments and
made suggestions. The summary of the exchange of views have been distilled in the table 3 below:
Table 3: Summary of issues that emerged from the discussions
Questions/Comments/Suggestions
Responses
Impacts of Mining activities on GHG emissions Why has it not been captured as one of the
discussions?
It is usually observed that waste segregation done at
source ends up in the same container when being
collected by Zoomlion Ghana Limited.
Are the incinerators in the country ‘real’ incinerators
or controlled burning equipment?
The energy use in the mining sector is what is reported
under the energy sector. Other relevant activities in
waste and AFOLU are also captured in the respective
sectors.
The level of efficiency is quiet low. Zoomlion has not
started waste segregation at homes but with institutions
and proposals are being done to ensure homes/others get
on board. Note that the composition of the waste is
assumed not to change whether the waste is lumped/
separated.
Ghana Health Service (GHS) has about 200 incinerators
just to help burn sharps and biological materials. EPA
should develop a guideline and then based on that permit
institutions that put up incinerators. They would have to
go through the EIA process and probably the design and
temperature would have to be used as the main factors
for consideration.
Sector specific issues
Energy Sector:
• There is the need to increase stakeholder involvement/ consultation to enhance the GHG inventory data
collection.
• The current work done by the Energy group is about 90%.
• There is still more work to be done and as such will have to take some set of data from the
Manufacturing Industry Department (MID) of EPA on energy use by industries in the country.
• Lastly they said that emission factor for some sub-categories are also a major challenge to the group.
Industrial Processes Sector:
• Completed data collection from 56 companies the industry survey targeted.
• The data will be further processes and analysed into conform with the format of the IPPC software
• Collaborate with CEPS, OZONE Unit at EPA to collect data on the consumption of F-gases
Page 9 of 59
AFOLU Sector:
The group mentioned that they have managed to collect almost 100 % of data needs. However, there are few data
challenges which ought to be collected to cater for minor gaps.
Waste Sector
The group indicated that all data on solid waste disposal has been collected and input in an excel worksheet. The
major challenge observed so far was on incinerators and wastewater handling. The group now has a
representative from Ghana Health Services and has provided some data on the number of incinerators in the
country and their respective capacities. MID has also collected some data from industries and this will be used for
the estimation. On the whole, the group has completed more that 50% of its work. However, it will be very good
to have a representative from Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to add his/her input to the
work being done.
2.2 Establishment of MRV Data Sharing Network Workshop
Mr. Peter Dery of the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI), chaired
the data sharing network workshop. Mr. Dery thanked participants for attending the workshop and
entreated them to contribute to the discussions. The focus of the establishment of the MRV data sharing
network workshop was to help identify ways for strengthening existing national platforms (national data
sharing network) in order to support for the collection and tracking of GHG emissions, mitigation actions,
their effects and support on continuous basis.
2.2.1 Technical Presentations
Three (3) technical presentations were made by Mr. Daniel Benefor based on the various elements of the
biennial update report. The purpose of the presentations was to take participants through the building
blocks of the BUR, the various tabular formats and requisite data needs in order to inform the designing
of the architecture of the national data sharing network. Table 4 contains the major highlights of the
presentations.

Chapter 3: Key Deliverables of the Workshop
3.1. Deliverables from the workshop
The workshops produced the following deliverables:
(a) A revised functional institutional arrangement for the domestic MRV (refer to annex 1)
(b) List of existing mechanisms for collecting and tracking data on implementation of mitigation
actions (refer to annex 4)
(c) List of possible mitigation actions elicited from the sectors (refer to annex 5)
(d) Discussions and hands on exercise on the table format for reporting “mitigation actions” and
“support” based on the CGE training materials (refer to 6).
(e) Completed GHG data improvement strategy template for the five inventory sectors (refer to
annex 7).
3.1.1 A functional institutional arrangement for the domestic MRV system
After the discussions, the workshop produced a revised functional institutional arrangement that will
anchor the domestic monitoring, reporting and verification scheme for (a) GHG emissions, (b) mitigation
actions and (c) support. The institutional arrangement (annex 1) has the following building blocks:
•
•
•
Three functional levels (national, sector and project) integrated into the three (3) MRV activities
(GHG, Mitigation actions and supports,
New institutional representations with clear roles and responsibilities including M&E institutions
Technical Registries at project, sector and national level. The registries will contain information
on mitigation actions, their effects and support.
The revised institutional arrangement seeks to integrate the 3 building blocks of the domestic MRV
system (GHG, mitigation actions and supports) into a functional framework that will underpin the
national system for supporting the implementation of the G-CARP. The institutional arrangement has
three levels, project, sector and national. Within each level, different institutions have unique role and
responsibilities of conducting GHG inventory, assessment mitigation actions, their effects, monitoring its
implementation tracking support. For instances, whereas the Ministry of Finance and the National
Development Planning Commissions will be responsible for tracking climate support and monitoring
implementation of mitigation policies respectively at the national, sector specific institutions such as the
Ministry of Energy and Petroluem and the Energy Commission focus on monitoring the implementation
of policies and measures in the energy sector. The new institutional arrangement also establishes strong
relationships with institutions that responsible for the GHG inventories.
Although the structure, roles and the governing mechanisms for the revised institutional arrangement has
been agreed upon during the workshop, the emphasis in the next coming months will be to translate the
new structure into implementation. The following steps have been identified as the next steps: (i)
constituting the various institutional representations into MRV working team with clear roles and
responsibilities, (ii) Formulating and where possible, revising the existing collaborative mechanisms, (iii)
develop detail workplan and budget for the various working groups and (iv) development continuous
training plan for the working groups.

3.1.2 List of existing mechanisms for collecting and tracking data on implementation of
mitigation actions and support
During the workshop, the participants identified number of existing national/international reporting
mechanisms that could be useful for the collection and tracking of data (indicators) on the progress of the
implementation of mitigation actions and support. In all, nearly 40 reporting channels were identified
from the national level to the project level. Annex 4 is the table of list of existing mechanism relevant for
tracking and monitoring mitigation actions in Ghana. At the national level, the annual publication of
“Annual Progress Report” could an important channel for monitoring progress of implementation of
mitigation related policies at the national level.
The Annual Progress Report (APR) is M&E tool for tracking the implementation of development
policies. It is first prepared by the individual sector and subsequently compiled into national APR by the
National Development Planning Commission. Because of its: annual periodicity of the publication,
national coverage, monitors policy implementation using simple indicators, and above all its ability to
harmonized sector specific monitoring indicators into national indicators, the APR was identified by the
participants as reliable channel for monitoring implementation of mitigation policies and measures. At the
sectoral level, in particular energy, the participants also identified among many other, the annual
publication of the energy statistics and energy balance as a good channel for monitoring energy related
mitigation actions. The participants concluded that, specific contacts person are identified so that they
can follow up on how to establish the data sharing conduit after the workshop.
3.1.3 List of possible mitigation actions elicited from the sectors
During the discussions, the participants identified a number of possible mitigation actions in the various
sectors. The assessment of the identified mitigation actions, their effects and the indicators for tracking
progress of implementation will be subsequently developed. For each sector, the participants identified
mitigation actions contained policies, measures or instruments, programmes and projects of which the
GHG effect and Co-benefits could be estimated and reported in the BUR. In the energy, a total of 35
potential mitigation actions were identified and ranges from renewable energy, efficiency, efficient
lightning, and clean cooking solutions (refer to annex 5). In the AFOLU sector, the participants identified
nearly 25 potential mitigation actions whereas in the Waste sector nearly 10 were identified.
3.1.4 Table format for reporting “mitigation actions” and “support” based on the CGE
training materials
Annex 6 contains a set of tables was originally developed by the CGE based on the approved guidelines
of the BUR. The table covers specific information based on the reporting guidelines of the BUR.
Participants were taken through the data need of the table and strategies for collect the data on regular
basis.
3.1.5 Completed GHG data improvement strategy template for the five inventory sectors
During the GHG workshop, the each inventory sector completed the GHG improvement strategy
templates. Annex 7 is the completed templates for the 5 sectors.

Data on

Determination of a
specific contact person
for data (data will be
collected from multiple
resources).
There is a need to dialogue with
all relevant agencies so that they
can agree on who should provide
what data.
To contact animal production, animal research
institute and Vertinery service for the required
data.
Kofi Darko of
SRID MoFA
(one page
proposal for
verification
survey of cattle
population)
The onus will be on institutions to
nominate and document all
information that emanates from
the contact person. The concept
of contact persons should be
institutionalized and not done on
a personal basis so that if the
person is not there, sustainability
could still be attained.
Capacity of additional people in
the relevant institution should
also be built.
Liaise with the Statistics, Research and
Information Directorate (SRID) of MOFA so that
they could serve as the center for data
harmonization from the 3 agencies.
Verification survey of cattle population is
necessary (One page proposal to be prepared).
Conversation with WAAPP and other projects on
the possibility of inclusion of our data needs in
their projects.
Signing of MOUs with faculties of the universities
for ease of receipt of findings from student theses.
GSS will commence an agriculture census soon.
There is therefore scope for designation of
questionnaires to capture our data needs (i.e.
Weight, age, and population)
3.A.1.a - Cattle
The need for data
harmonization.
One agency should nominate a
person to serve as coordinator for

that student theses may focus on
collection of the required data (we
must be wary of issues such as
ensuring effective academic

3.B - Land
•Under the FPP,
data have been
collected for
1990, 2000, 2010
for all the six
categories
•The remaining
task is to fill the
gaps for the
intervening years
eg. 1991, 1992,
1993 etc.
3.B.1 - Forest
land
Biomass data
•Filling the gaps for the
intervening years.
•Getting high resolution
data.
•The current definition
of forests means cocoa,
oil palm, coconut and
rubber plantations are
all denoted as forests.
•Under current
circumstances forest
degradation is not being
reported, only
deforestation is
considered.
The need to have
annual data on biomass
•A method has been used to
estimate data to fill the gaps. The
method is based on annualizing
gain or losses based on values
over the period (for example,
1990 and 2000), there is however
the need to get further input and
critique of the method used.
All the assumptions that underpin
the method should be made
public. Expert opinions could be
used to add slight percentages
each year to cater for exceptional
circumstances.
High resolution images could be
accessed via aerial photographs
from flights undertaken by
mining companies.
Also, by linking up with NGOs
such as SNV for copies of their
high resolution data.
Existing images could be trained
with shape files from BOPP (Oil
palm); GREL (rubber);
COCOBOD (CSVD), Rainforest
Alliance (Cocoa); USAID
(mango) as well as the 2,500
ground control points from the
FPP.
We must maintain the current
forest definition for previous
work and make the distinction
(open forest; closed forest, tree
crops) as we move forward.
Use of satellite imagery.
Utilization of systems that have
been put in place at Forestry
Commission (from FPP, REDD+
MRV)
Page 29 of 59
•Document all the assumptions of the method,
make data and method available to people with
expertise for critiques and suggestions.
•Effective collaboration with the REDD+ MRV
process.
•The need to integrate local and expert knowledge
to fine tune and harmonies data.
•Provision of aerial photographs should be made a
condition for granting of mining permits, the
MLNR, Ministry of Interior and EPA to lead the
process.
•Effective coordination with CSVD to get aerial
photographs of cocoa.
•Linking up with Geodetic engineering department
of KNUST and LAP under MLNR for aerial
photographs
It will be costly to get annual biomass data. Hence,
in the interim, we can make projections based on
quantification of trends or patterns.

Mr Yakubu
(RMSC)
•Building of capacity of RMSC.
•The problem with the system is
that it captures all fires including
domestic fires.
•However, filtering can be done
and also GPS coordinates can be
used to determine forest fires etc.
•Currently, imports are
used to denote total
local consumption.
•Data will be accessed from SRID under PPRD
and crosschecked with data from Ghana Statistical
Service.
•GSS provides data on fertilizer annually.

5.0 Conclusion and Recommendations
The following recommendations were made:
•
There is need for continuous training and capacity transfer through awareness creation among the
various institutions is involved in the CARP activities (GHG, mitigation actions and support).
The representatives of the institutions at the workshop should endeavor to inform the top
management of their respective institutions. This will ensure greater buy in among the key
institutions and at the same time facilitate mainstreaming of the CARP.
•
Institutions that will generate or provide data to support the CARP must collaborate with the
compilers of the CARP support frequent data sharing at all times.
•
Regular training must be organised by the EPA on relevant topics in the IPCC guidelines for the
GHG inventory and the guidelines for the preparation of BUR for key national institutions on
regular basis.
•
There is the need for the EPA to revise the existing collaborative mechanism (MOU). The review
must consider the new institutions, their new roles and responsibilities as well as detailed
workplan for the various working groups.
•
Participants observed that the newly established online database will facilitate information
sharing, documentation and storage/archiving on GHG inventory.

Data collection on mitigation actions and support from line ministries (what, how, when, etc)
New set of institutions, data collection networks and indicators must be put in place seamlessly with
the existing GHG national system.
Can we put place a robust national data collection network that will be able to generate data on
regular basis?
What should be the roles of key institutions
What strategies must be put in place at the institutional level?
What can be done to address the issue of data protection, confidentiality and acknowledgement?
How can we tap from the existing legal and regulatory processes for getting data from various
sources? eg. Industry, research, academia, institutions with mandate to collect specific data in their
sector?
What role could the Ghana statistical service play considering (a) the periodicity of the surveys they
conduct, and (b) the funding needs them to consider option for collecting data for the ambitious
reporting regime?
What the new data requirements under the new reporting regime and how can we set up mechanism
for collecting from the relevant sectors?
What capacities are needed by the various sectors to be able understand and appreciate the overall
process of designing GHG inventory systems, assessment of mitigation actions and effects and
reporting them?

actions?
• What is the road for collections and processing of first batch data inflow into the network
• Development of template for data providers to use for the transmission of data to central points
• Selection of contact persons in each sector for the compilation of sector-wide data.
• What role should coordination institutions such as “NDPC”, Ministry of Finance” MESTI and
“Ghana Statistical Service” play in the national data network?

Presentations of sector data needs, challenges and strategies for improvements
Sector Group Work -There are 5 groups. Each will focus on (a) identifying main data
challenges, (b) prioritized them and (c) fashion out practical strategies/solution for addressing
them. Each sector group will be required discuss and complete a “GHG data improvement
strategy template”. The template will contain information relating to (a) GHG data needs, (b)
description of data including its format, (c) data challenges, and (d) strategies to address them and
(e) priorities for next steps. Each of the 5 groups will be made of the GHG inventory sector lead,
the collaborative organisations and data providers. The sector lead will be expected to present the
current state of the inventory process including the steps for data collection, the estimates where
they are ready, the data needs and an overview of the data challenges. The points that will be
raised by the sector leads form the basis for the discussions in each sector. At the end of the two
day, each sector group is expected to complete the GHG data improvement strategy template
which later be compiled into a road map for the continuous.
a. Break into 5 sector inventory groups – energy, industry, agriculture and forestry, and
waste
b. Each group must be guided by the issues raised in the sector presentations
c. Task: Each group is tasked to do the following:
Page 40 of 59


Review the key data need and challenges where possible identify additional ones.
The data needs and challenges must be disaggregated to the category level where
possible.
 Identify additional sources of data.
 Discuss and agree on specific strategies that must be put in place to support the
continuous collection of data.
 What capacity you need to be able to participate in this process
 How this process can be sustained and scaled up? –
• To what extent can we use existing mechanism (e.g national population
census, preparation of the Energy balance, national budgeting process,
GLSSS, EIA process, research outputs, etc.) generate data continuously?
• Please identify relevant institutions, their data collection mechanism, and
how iBUR process can dovetail into it?
• What new dataset must be we collect and through what means
• What form of institutional strengthening mechanism must be put in place
to support the preparation of the BURs every two years?
• How can we derive great value of the ambitious reporting mechanism
and make it relevant for national development planning?
• Can the existing national system (institutional arrangement, roles,
procedures and responsibilities) be able to (a) produce good quality
reporting every two and four years sustainably as well as the review
process? How do we make is better to perform efficient?
 After the discussion, each sector group must complete the comprehensive “GHG
data improvement strategy template” and present. The completed template will
be compiled into a strategy guidance paper.
