In order to strengthen the institutional and technical capacities of developing countries to meet the transparency requirements of the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to establish a Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT). The GEF was requested to support the establishment and operation of the CBIT, including through voluntary contributions to support developing countries during GEF-6 (2014- 2018) and future replenishment cycles.
The CBIT has
three aims:
1. Strengthen national institutions for transparency-related
activities in line with national priorities
2. Provide relevant tools, training and
assistance for meeting the provisions stipulated in Article 13 of the Agreement
Assist in the improvement of transparency over time
3. Assist in the improvement of
